Has anyone just received their entry form, and who is doing it next year then ???
I will be doing it if they don't cancel again but have not seen form yet. Have got platinum, special gold, gold, silver and finisher's medals so may just trundle round for a bronze to get the fulls set!
Do you do the Welsh Rally (much better than National rally - more interesting roads, more navigation, better scenery and a bit more of a challenge)
Yep, done English a few times and Scottish too.
Got my entry 2 days ago in the post.
From what I can see on a few other forums, the rally 2007 was cancelled because of a few Southern softies couldnt be bothered to ride a few extra miles after the finish. (We, in the North, have to do it when the finish is in the midlands ???)
Why would anyone use a GPS, (unless im being unfair on people who cannot read maps too well ?????)
Besides which, surely a big part of the deal is to do the map work beforehand.
Mmmmm, when using GPS,surely people/competitors wont be interested in the roads/routes between the checkpoints, as the GPS will take them straight to the destination anyway(without the rider needing to know the route).
Like I say, its only personal. I wouldnt use GPS, I like maps and routefinding, old style
(I do know guys who wont use GPS for these events as they think its actually cheating !!)
