The riders collected at the rally start on Friday.
After checking in and collecting their goodie bags they completed some technical checks and rode a standard odo route to gauge the accuracy of their odos. They can read over 5 extra miles , the same as they show higher speeds.
After the evening meal the rally books are presented. They contain all the bonus locations and rules for gaining points.
The riders then retire to their rooms and have all evening to plan their routes to gain the maximum points.
