What to expect:
23
24
Imagine 3 triangular shapes strategically placed across the USA. You can choose any single
triangle, -and any corner of that triangle can be your start and finish location.
25
This effectively gives you 9 start/finish locations in the USA to choose from.
26
27
28
All corners of your triangle will be mandatory bonuses. Distance to complete a triangle will be
in the neighborhood of 2,000 miles but will vary by triangle based on many factors. Significant
efforts are being made to equalize the effort required to complete each triangle.
29
30
Additionally, there will be many hundreds of optional bonuses scattered across the USA to
choose from. These bonuses will be in various “themes” with various point values. These

optional bonuses will be released at the start of the rally via PDF bonus listing and digital files
consistent in format/file type that the IBR uses.
33
34
35
Earning all mandatory bonuses (completing your triangle) will give you enough points to be a
“Finisher”. All earned bonus points from both mandatory and optional bonuses will be accrued
to your score in near-real time.
36
37

39
You will primarily be competing against the other riders of your triangle and secondarily
competing against riders in all three triangles. Think of this as three rallies within a rally and
you are competing head-to head against riders in your triangle, and secondarily against all
riders in all triangles.
40
41
42
43
44
Additionally, each triangle’s cumulative score from all of its riders will be scored against the
other triangles. In other words, your primary competitors are the riders who are riding your
triangle. These same riders are also your teammates in the triangle vs. triangle competition.
This triangle vs. triangle competition is for camaraderie, fun and showing the world what region
has the best riders.
45
Consistent with traditional BMR events, real-time scoring will show all above scoring models.

Is this rally for me?

1. BMR riders who want to experience a shorter rally with elements
consistent with traditional rallies including:
a. Routing on the clock
b. Rally-provided data files of bonus locations
c. Rest bonuses
2. IBR 2015 participants who want to experience a sharp 72 hour rally
which will provide:
a. Time/distance calculations galore in a competitive event.
b. Opportunity to test and fine-tune equipment and methodologies
c. Smart phone bonus submission in real-time
3. Experienced LD Riders looking for a rally experience
a. Routing/riding to all mandatory bonuses (complete your triangle) will give
finisher status.
b. Add more miles and more points by choosing optional bonuses and
adding them to your route. This is the basic concept of all competitive
rallies.

Expectations: (If you’re not 110% on board with the following expectations, don’t waste your
time or ours)

1. Safety and knowing your limits is paramount. Ride smart and within your skillset. If
you don’t know your limits or skillset, this event is not for you.
2. Your conduct will be superlative at all times. In BMR events you are at the scoring table
24/7, any conduct not seen as positive and constructive to moto-bike fun in general and
this event specifically: Will result in an immediate exit from this event.
3. BMR bonus picture requirements are tough, much tougher than most other events. Be
prepared to partner with the scoring team by breaking-your-ass on every bonus
submission to secure solid pictures which meet scoring team criteria. If you’re of the
mindset that riding to the bonus is good enough and should count, this event is not for
you. In BMR events, riding to the bonus gives you the opportunity to earn points *IF*
you *also* meet the other criteria while you’re there.
