The Big Money Rally is a lot of fun. No matter where you are in the country you can find hundreds of bonuses close to home. You can go as hard or as light as you want depending on your personal schedule.
It is the first rally I signed up for and discovered. I enjoy the bonuses, the people and the fellowship with the other riders. It has made me realize I like riding longer distances, overnight rides and I am now signing up for the shorter duration rallies because BMR showed me how much fun rallies can be.
Also, you are scored pretty damn quick! If you mess up a bonus, go back and get it again and correct your mistake. God knows I fat finger the bonus code more times than I will ever admit to, but you just slap yourself in the head and resubmit.
There is a number of cool features Reno John has built into the site, first of which is the ability to send in your bonus using your phone; it even has an app. Starting last year BMR introduced time stamps to the photos using the app, so a bonus may only be good for a day or an hour in some cases. The code is added to the photo using the app. In addition, you can always see exactly how you stand compared to other riders, and what bonuses are the most popular and the ever present poaching of bonuses others have found in your area that you did not discover yet.
You can not beat the price either $69 dollars for almost a half year of serious fun!! There is always a banquet at the end (a small additional cost), where one can meet and mingle with the other riders and swap stories of your BMR adventures.
I highly recommend it as it is a good time and a pace that is flexible with a busy schedule.
