Sorry I can't make the Cape Fear this weekend, buddy getting hitched.

So the rally schedule this year: I'm sure I'm missing some.

Mason Dixon 20-20 -- +-30HRS. (This rally is my favorite: well run,
well organized, super competitive, great people. I suggest any of
you wanting to try a full day rally make this one your first.) May
27th YORK, PA.

Minute Man 1000 -- 24HR event based in Mass. I've not ridden this
rally and likely won't be able to this year as I'll be doing one the
following week. I hear the staff are great folks and you'll get to
see some beautiful places. June 10th Greenfield, MA.

Minnesotta 1000 -- This will be my first "Team Strange" event. I'm
going to ride this rather than the Minute Man to get a feel for their
style of rally. Rumor is they are super strict and picky with some
trck questions...fun or annoying, haven't passed judgement yet. June
17th somewhere in the twin cities, starting location not yet
announced.

Butt Lite IV -- This is the big show for this year. A seven day
rally that will tell me if I'm really stoopid enough to want to do
the Iron Butt next year. I'm going to actually try to get
sponsorship for this if you can believe it...HA! August 8-15th NORTH
AMERICA.

and finally the void on Oct 14th which is local and a mini
rally...you guys should all think about doing this one as it is great
fun and a great intro to rallying without the need to deal with
riding in the dark or sleep deprivation.

Anyway, I hope some of you think about joining our little sport.

Later all,

Mike

PS -- 400 great spur of the moment miles in the mountains
yesterday..left home at 730 and rolled in at 545...If any of you ever
make it to Peaks of Otter on the Blue Ridge Parkway on a sunday, stop
and have the buffet...the fresh peach cobbler alone is worth the
price.
