Is this a good rally for newbies? Never even done an ironbutt ride plus adding in all the points and stuff.... I'm thinking I'd like to try this. Any special prep for the bike?

Any 10-hour rally is a good one for newbies. A lot of BMWBMW people go to this one, so IMO yes this is a good one to test the waters with.

Thanks, Yeah, I just looked at the results of the last mini. I've heard bits and pieces from some of those who went, but need to sit down and get the lowdown....

Cheers!

Perhaps a RTC (Ride-to Chat) at the next RTE. ALot of folks here would be willing to share their experience.

Ed, the 10 hour is definitely NOT an 'ironbutt ride' but yes, a good rally for newbies. There's also The Void in October that offers a 10 hour event. It will be back in 2010.

How about a mini class on how to plan your route and the do's and don't's for something like this?

Ed, it's hours and hours of entertainment value and as chiba mentioned, you'll most likely know a few participants. Prep wise, I'd say at least as much as you'd do for a long weekend of riding or you can go a bit more extreme I'll definitely be giving the farkles a hard once over the weekend before.

And most important... bring your own alarm clock

offer kitty drinks and some nosh at an establishment if her choice near her house and she may be swayed to give a class.

Cape Fear 1000 Rally
April 16-18, 2010

Although public registration does not open until January 8, 2010, the Coastal Carolina Rally Krewe once again invites everyone on the list to make plans to join us in Wilmington, North Carolina the weekend of April 16-18, 2010 for the Cape Fear 1000 Rally. Funds raised from this event will be sent to benefit the Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randleman, NC for chronically ill children. More details about the Victory Junction Gang Camp can be found at http://www.victoryjunction.org. In addition, we will be having a special collection for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation will all monies collected to be donated in memory of Eddie James.

Registration will again be handled through Jason Jonas’ Ride Master program and can be found on and after January 8, 2010 at http://jasonjonas.com/rides or through a link which may be found on the website. Many thanks to Jason for making this great tool available.

While we no longer offer a Ride-To-Eat option as a part of the event due to the number of riders that participate each year, the main parts of the weekend still remain: there will be a 24-hour (more or less) Rally event; a Mini-Rally; a BBQ Feast Saturday evening at the Finisher’s Banquet ; and, a Farewell Breakfast on Sunday morning.

The complete schedules should be posted on the website by the end of December, but briefly:

The 24-hour Rally will begin at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Friday the 16th . Each rider will choose from one of three possible starting locations: Auburn, NY; Bowling Green, KY; or, Lake Placid, FL, and all riders will be due in Wilmington, North Carolina, not later than 3:00 p.m. on Saturday the 17th.

The Mini-Rally will begin with rider check-in at 6:00 p.m. on Friday evening, followed by an informal gathering from 7:00-9:00 p.m. The Rider’s Meeting begins at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday the 17th, riders will be released at 6:00 a.m. and are due back not later than 4:00 p.m.

The BBQ Feast will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday evening with awards, recognition of riders rally results being announced at 8:30 p.m, or as soon thereafter as the scores can be tallied.

Bwwaahahahahahaha

Remember, Maria - either 2 memory cards, or 2 cameras. One for the rally and one for everything else

Photos not directly related to a bonus will result in penalty points. And yes, we will be keeping the memory cards again this year.

Look forward to seeing everyone in Wilmington again in 2010
