Sunday, 9/20 - Eurosport Cycle Rally

Post by **sckego** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 4:54 pm

Benny, Mike and I did this last year and it was pretty fun. Not sure if I'm gong to make it again this year (I'm going to try!), but if anyone else wants to do something like this, it's alot of fun. Basically you show up, get a list of bonuses that are worth so many points each, and four hours to get as many points as you can. Free lunch afterwards, too.

Eurosport Cycle is hosting a Sunday Rally on September 20th.
This is a half day 200 mile rally set up just like the Iron Butt 1000
mile events.
Maps and instructions will be given out at 8:30 am. at Eurosport Cycle.
Stands up at 9:am. Back to Eurosport Cycle by 1:00 for BBQ catered by
Up In Smoke Resaurant.
Trophy presentation at 2:00. This is not a race! No points for being early.
All brands and styles welcome. No cost for this event, just come out and have fun.

So how was? Sorry Vic and I didn't make it... we had the alarm set early in order to come, but neither of us really felt like getting up. Hope you guys had a good time.

Jared must be sleeping.

We started out the day with waffles.

Overall it was fun. We started out going to Keller to see what oil company sign was on the west side of a BBQ place. There wasn't one. But there wass a sign on the south side. Trick question?

Then we headed up 377 to Tioga to find out which Saturday of the month they had their trader days. Turns out it was the 4th Saturday. We also stopped for gas here.

Then we headed over to Gainsville to find out what was stanging between Glenn Goode's Big People (http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/7362) It's not in the picture but it was a calf. While we were there Glenn came out and gave us the history of each statue. Interesting story.

From there we headed to Oklahoma to the Winstar Casino to see what famous building the second facade from the north represented. We couldn't figure it out. I even asked one of the workers but they didn't know either. We weren't the first to ask her.

By this time it was 12:00 and we had to be back at Eurosport before 1:00 or we would be disqualified. The ride back down 35 sucked. We were late, but only by a few minutes. It wouldn't have mattered. If we had all the right answers we still would not have had enough points to win. A couple on a goldwing won with 310 points, I think. They went past us in Tioga while we were stopped for gas.

They had a good BBQ lunch and I had a good time. This was the first time I have done this and I will probably do it again.

Sounds like a blast. I'm going to have to try harder to make it next time. I didn't wake up till about 8:30.
