| The Finish | | | I made it to the finish yesterday after a long third leg, riding in 36 degree temps over the pass on the last night. Everyone is probably wondering what happened that I went from 4th place after leg 2 to 14th at the finish. A difficult to find bonus near Antelope, OR was the catalyst for my demise. I lost a little over 2 hours trying to find this bonus that was in the middle of no where with little to no indication how to get there. In rallies past this type of a bonus would have clear written instructions on locating the correct route to the bonus, and this bonus had no clear directions. It was apparently difficult enough that at the end of the rally the Rallymaster appologized for the screw up and awarded points to all the riders that attempted to find the location - even the ones that did not find it! I did find the bonus after two hours, but I was not able to make up those two hours on the last day and it cost me the daylight restricted bonus in Vancouver, BC. On a more positive note, my 14th place finish is one improved from two years ago!
Now it is time to ride back to Minnesota! I have much more important matters to attend to in the comming weeks as I am getting married to the most wonderful woman in the world on the 26th. I will post more details and pictures from the rally as I have time, but it might be a little while.
