Rally the Void

[Cass]

It's a personal test of endurance, or so I've been told. You don't have to do breakneck speeds to accomplish their rides for certification.

Enjoy the VOID man... you'll meet some awesome folks

I here ya... but they're challenges. Most of my trips are meant to get lost in my surroundings. That's why I'm rarely on schedule.... ask Gas Man. But if I need to make it to point B by such and such time.... I'll be ther with time to spare.

These,to me are about doing something different just to say I did .... like riding to Omaha on Dec 23rd.... or a 4,000+trip on a DRZ

This is more than just 1k miles, its a scavenger hunt too. Thats where the hard part is, finding random locations while doing the miles.

On a side note I do enjoy just knocking miles down on a highway, looking at the scenery and enjoy being alone with my thoughts.

So what do you get when you complete the run?

I think ill keep my 40 or so dollars they charge you and just do the ride for the hell of it sometime. I want to do a coast to coast ride and a 49 state ride. I just want to see the Pacific. Oregon trail here i come lol.

I think you get a patch and pin... as well as a certificate, and maybe a trophy.

the award isn't what you pay the $40 for... it's for the experience of doing something fun/difficult/ and pointless with other people who are after the same goal.


Life is too short to only do things that have a point... besides... the pointless things are the ones that make the best memories, in my experiences

I think you get a steak dinner too. But yeh what ebbs said, its something new that looks interesting and fun.

It's the experience of it, and the people you meet, that make it worth the $

I was involved peripherally in a couple of rallies and other long-distance events, and even I had a good time.... regardless of the fact that most of the participants were old enough to be my parents or grandparents

Yeh the folks ive met are mostly retirees, but still a cool bunch.

I really like travel by bike, its a great experience, and I have some lofty goals too. Around 2024 I have a round the world trip planned, with the only goal being to go everywhere. I would like to do more traveling, along the lines of what grex does on his busa
