I spent some time last night putting new brake pads on the front of the bike. I checked the rear and they looked good, so I decided not to change them before the rally. Other than that, the maintenance is over for this trip...unless I decided to change the oil or something else...who knows.
We receive our rally bonus packs tomorrow night. I am patiently waiting for them to appear in my email sometime around 7:00PM tomorrow night. Once I get it then the real mind games begin. I'll have to take some time inputting the locations into a spreadsheet, then download the spreadsheet information into Streets and Trips. Once in S/T, I'll have a bunch of points on a map to decide from for my route.
The interesting thing will be what limitations or possible requirements the rally master will put on the routing. I heard that a couple years ago, he made it lowest points win. We have also heard that there will be a limitation on the number of miles that can be ridden and maybe some time variables thrown in to keep speeding to a minimum (some of the guys haul major butt). I will look at everything and see what pops for me.
All my planning or thinking will probably be for practice because Danny Lee will be planning our route. Maybe I will have a different view that he won't see or realize, who knows. I am stoked and apprehensive all at once.
