Re: 10 Days. 9 States. 4200 miles.

I finally had a chance to get through your ride report. Very well done. The pictures and detail were great!

I enjoyed the Rallying101 class as well. Very worthwhile information and experience!

GNP is probably one of my favorite places on earth... To ride and to camp. Not too many places like that on this planet...

Be well and I look forward to meeting in person at some point!

Re: 10 Days. 9 States. 4200 miles.

How wonderful was it this morning to be eating breakfast, reading my AMA magazine and see an article written by our own Texas T on page 22. He even included a picture with him and some other TWT'ers holding his TWT banner. I enjoyed both stories, Brian. Sam

Cool! I need to go check the mailbox and see if my copy is there. This is my first published article. I have submitted another article based upon my experiences during the Rally 101 in Denver and they have accepted it. It's just a matter of finding out which issue to plug it into. The article you're reading today is from my ride report of last year's ride in Colorado so things don't always happen quickly in the magazine world.

Thanks Kevin. I did find that Brian Roberts had previously written a Rally Routing guide and it is posted on the IBA forum. I read it all this morning and it really helped to put 2+2 together with the information he presented to us in Denver. I sent a note to him and Lynda suggesting that his info be required reading BEFORE the next training class.

If I had read it all first his presentation would have had a greater impact on me in the training class; especially the part about using Excel. That really went over my head in the class but now it all makes perfect sense.
