English National Rally 2009

Just a headsup that this is happening this year on the 4th/5th July and the finish will again be in Bletchley Park Milton Keynes. You can enter online.

This is a great event, and there are shorter classes other than the 20hour rally for those with sensitive bottoms

Re: English National Rally 2009

This one is an annual ritual for me. Great fun with great group of riders. I've just completed the online entry for this one. Quick and simple I'm number 26

Re: English National Rally 2009

Hi Alpslapper

Is it just me or is there very little interest in the National Rally? I've done it a few times now and I think it is excellent - perfectly suited to these type of bikes.

Hopefully see you this year..I'm on 2000 RD07 AT black/gold with a mate on an R1150GS

How about you?

Re: English National Rally 2009

Yep, going to checkpoints I've not done before for a change. Starting at 11, up to 26, then down to 1 and in . Should be good. What bike are you on - I'll keep my eye out. Mines a black tranny plastered in various xrv, national rally and longest day stickers.

Ride safe bowman, have a good rally.

Re: English National Rally 2009

All done and dusted for another year. Great ride, great roads, I went to all new checkpoints this year just to vary things a bit. Awesome roads around South Yorkshire (Just a pity the local authorities chose to paint two speed cameras green to blend in with the shrubbery ) and Lincs. Can't remember everywhere I was, but the roads just about everywhere I went were fantastic. I did the minimum amount I could on main roads. Started at 2.04pm - finished at 7.59am - taking 3 hours in breaks.

We should think about entering fo the Team Platinum category next year and get a goup of us together from XRV.
