This is the communication Forum for participants in the Greek Islands Scooter Rally - 2010.

The rally will take place from 24 May to 4 Jun, 2010 on the Islands of Paros and Naxos, Greece.

Day 1 (Mon) - Arrive Athens, overnight in Hotel
Day 2 (Tues)- Depart on 7:20 AM ferry for Paros.
Days 2 through 6 (Tues - Sat) Activities on Paros
Day 7 (Sun) - Morning ferry from Paros to Naxos
Days 7 through 11 (Sun - Thurs) Activities on Naxos
Day 12 (Fri)- depart Naxos for Athens.

The theme of the rally is EAT, RIDE, DRINK!

There will be Time, Speed, Distance road rally competition. Three measured distance courses on Paros and three on Naxos. The objective is not speed, but precision navigation and completing each course in exactly the time allotted, riding at or below the posted speed limits, as appropriate. Perfect time is zero points. Too fast is 2 penalty points per second and too slow is one penalty point per second. Lowest total penalty points wins. Awards for Paros only, Naxos only and Grand Champions (lowest total of all six courses). The courses will be on magnificently scenic roads.

Groups of 3 or 4 (haven't decided yet) can also compete as teams, as well as individuals, allowing for additional awards at the team level. You can bring a team from your local scooter club or form a team on site.

Of course there will be plenty of free time for riding, shopping and partying.

The rally package will include the hotel in Athens (1 night) ferries to and from the islands, 5 nights hotel on Paros, 5 nights hotel on Naxos (to include 3 nights in Apollonas!), scooter rentals, three group dinners and more.

Full details and pricing will be posted no later than September 2009.
