Their leg 3 was over 6,000 miles without even counting all the detours for other boni. Over 1,100 miles just on the island of Newfoundland.
HOLY FJR BATMAN!
HOLY FJR BATMAN!
But most of those Rally Master throws a monkey wrench into the mix during the rider meeting at 0530. Or MERA where can delete from your declared route but not add to it on the fly.I've never ridden a rally where we didn't either get the bonuses the night before, or the morning of the rally. It wasn't until recently that I found out there are rallies where the bonuses are sent to the riders days or weeks in advance.I wouldn't characterize it that way. Nobody wins a rally in Leg 1 and I bet most got fairly good sleep actually.Holy Crap! So no sleep starts before the first day, these people are impressive...At the banquet the night before the start..
I'd put money on that being the case for more than one participant!... but my mind would always be second-guessing if I've made some sort of gigantic route screwup.
There is an old thought on this...Plan Your Ride, Ride Your Plan...Wow. Varying point values, and they're all weird values, and how in the hell do you figure out an efficient route from that shit?
My body may be able to do three or four consecutive 1,000-mile days, maybe, but my mind would always be second-guessing if I've made some sort of gigantic route screwup.

John I bet they had the TD, But I would not put any Money on it.Great, thanks for all the data. I can't remember...did the riders receive the usual thumb drive with bonus data on it, for at least location at the Starting banquet, along with initial rally pack? If they did, that makes processing all this data a little simpler, not simple, just easier.
