Glad everyone is accounted for. Now waiting for tomorrow morning...

This is better than any movie from Hollywood. Best wishes for all the riders in leg 3.

While we catch our breath, the music has been replaced with a timeless-classic animated biker flick. I think we'll do a new biker flick every day as we cheer these amazing riders on.https://austinmedia.net/stuff/temp/15IBRcountdown.html

Folks:

Here are some additional formats for the bonus data.

Some of them have a code appended to the name, or a color assigned to the icon to indicate the type of time constraints. Legend at the bottom of the post.

Here you go:
GPX: https://RideToEat.com/ibr2015/IBR2015Bonii.gpx *
CSV: https://RideToEat.com/ibr2015/IBR2015Bonii.csv
S&T: https://RideToEat.com/ibr2015/IBR2015Bonii.est *

The last two include all of the publicly published data about each bonus. Just click on the bonus to see the data.

Google "MyMaps": https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zxfYRSJHdx_0.ke1EpRVW92jk&usp=sharing

* Time zone borders added

Legend:
A = Always available (green)
D = Daylight (blue)
F = Fixed (the group photos) (red)
T = Time specific (e.g. 8AM-4PM) (yellow)
W = Weekday specific (any of the above that can differ depending on the day of the week) (black)

Enjoy!

And they are off!

With them already knowing the bonus locations, I would think some already have their routes planned. They would just be hoping the point assignments are favorable to them.

I have photos of the scores after Leg 2 but don't know how to upload them from my iPhone to the forum. I will say Josh M leads Eric J for 1st and 2nd but it appears many are within striking distance and almost all still need more states or parks or both

Well done, just....really cool you guys!

 

[Go Far]

Yes, I just spoke to Lisa Landry and everyone made it in on time and safe.

That is good news!

And he is on a stock seat no less. AMAZING.

Not sure if anyone has posted this to the forum yet so here goes... Go full screen on the browser and hit this link...

And for those who want to see the 2013 IBR, hit this link...

https://spotwalla.com/animator.php?id=168

Animation is still a work in progress, but this is a good start albeit crude.

Thanks for that. I didn't even know there is such option for Spotwalla.

What must Perry's Victory Monument in Lake Erie be worth for a rider to risk the ferry ride and assume those kinds of delays? The next 4 days should be really interesting to watch. Thanks to RenoJohn for putting up the IBR15 Countdown. https://austinmedia.net/stuff/temp/15IBRcountdown.html

There wasn't until a few days ago.

I love that bonus, it was among the 562 bonuses (seriously) I put together for the 2013 Rally. I think the Lahman's scouted that one for me.

I am delighted that Tom is using that one. It is a perfect Rally bonus, a Ferry, the potential for being stranded on an island, and then a ferry ride back to the mainland.

Not a problem, as long as you get there early on a weekday.

Here you go:

GPX: https://RideToEat.com/ibr2015/IBR2015Bonii.gpx *

Not be a n00b or even a b00b but how does one save this so that I can open it in basecamp? when I go to save it it is saved as a .txt file and not a gpx?

Once you've saved it, change the name of the extension from txt to gpx and open in Basecamp.

This is priceless...

In other repair news, the oil leak on Chris McGaffin’s FJR turned out to be a deteriorated O-ring for the oil filler cap and has been fixed, much to the disappointment of many, many BMW riders who were hoping to take some of the focus off the tarnished roundel. Also, as a correction from the last report, McGaffin’s FJR is not a high mileage bike as initially reported.

Ha, I knew that wasn't Rick Martin's FJR.................................. too clean.
