BIL just rode the Butt Lite rally
« on: July 11, 2016, 03:21:20 PM »
6 days of riding. He finished, completing 6000+ miles. He said 80% of it was 2-lane. very little interstate. Significant gravel and dirt. He placed 16th out of about 80 and would have been top 10 but he miscalculated a 4800 point sleep bonus on leg 1.

One of the commandments of rally riding is don't do any work on your bike the few days before you leave.

He had already been accepted to ride the iron butt rally next year before he rode this one.

He got a few drops of rain is all. Heated gear failed so he was cold for a couple stretches.

That's usually has a non-draw entry offer (not discount or free entry) for the winner of some rallies.  That list was made some while back.
