Includes one day before and one day after…..only the 48 hours (RENO TIME!) counts for the challenge though

well guys, thanks for the fun. i think the interational format works well. i didnt do as well as hoped, but thats life..
John my hat is off to you, great time had here on this rally of yours..
Might get to meet you at the IBR
Ian
Hope you at least had some fun, Ian! The secret of the BMR is that you are sent down awesome roads to quirky places , the points are just an excuse
)))
Hope everyone had fun. Frigg’n winds and dust storms. Wing was getting tossed around like a WeeStrom…
Worst of it was at the windmill farm near desert Hot Springs…lost my small flag and clip. Have sand in places I didn’t know ….
Ian,
I truly valiant effort that shows much to your character: Multiple flights from Zambia, (Africa) with an Australian phone. Land in the USA and get on a bike bike and start chasing BMR bonuses. Phone issues, you aggressively attempt to fix …before eventually purchasing another phone (on the road) that also has challenges……
Ian, you’re the best, we’re very proud to have you in the mix. Big cheers to your efforts, Big cheers to YOU.
M&M (Maura and Marc). Wow, both of you had dicey weather, both of you made a class-act of chasing bonuses as we followed along. Canada is proud and so is the BMR!! Fantasticness you both demonstrated.

Had a blast! My buddy Marc and I proved again that team Canada rocks after conquering the United States of Mexico last July…..my only hope now is that Ian gained some valuable experience from this exercise that will serve him in the Iron Butt Rally. Team Canada will switch from adversary to ardent supporter come this July, Commonwealth ROCKS!!!!!!!
So, the BMR is winding down. A heap of the photos I took are still in cyber space. I wonder when they will turn up?
John, thanks for the stickers, i wasnt expecting them. Thanks for the bonus list to go chasing. It is a wonderful format, next years plan is already evolving….
The Cape Fear went almost to plan, but errors at the scoring table cost me. Pain there is a good educator for the IBR:-)
Maura and Marc, the IBR is fast approaching, see you all in the carpark I hope.
