2010 Rally Format:
Never let things go stale ! That's the thinking behind this years
event. In order to keep things fresh and to make riders work their brains as well as their Butts this years event will have
a few twists thrown in for good measure. This is going to be the thinking riders event. In order to maximise your thinking
time, I am going to be particularly generous.
This years bonus locations will be issued 1 MONTH before the
event along with a working google map....How generous is that. This will enable you to load the destinations into your
GPS or mark them on a map. But there's a catch. There always is. I will withhold a few tasty morsels until the meeting
the night before (along with all the points values). You will encounter the following types of bonuses..
Combo, Siamese ,courier,accelerator,blind and revealing. Don't worry all will become clear.

Because full details of the bonuses and a link to a google
map are being released 1 month before the 2010 event, it would be perfectly possible to ride the 2010 rally without a GPS
!! However, you would be advised to make notes on the location of each bonus as no turn by turn instructions are given in
the bonus book, only a brief description and GPS Co-ords.
