Smaller rallies in 2025

For *years*, rallies were rarely marketed, there didn't really seem to be a need to promote heavily.

When @Jason Jonas set up RideMaster years ago, that really began the process of promotion. He might be able to enlighten the topic further.
 
The main ones that have been running the last few years are:

Heart of Texas in April
Minnesota 1000 in July (I think)
TNT rally somewhere in the Appalachian region in August
Missouri rally in September/October
Valkyrie Motorcycle Rally is a female only rally in the Fall, and the location changes yearly
SNAFU rally in Georgia in November
HOPS rally in Texas in November
LDX rally in even numbered years in late June/early July, location changes yearly


I could be missing a couple, but those are the ones I remember. As mentioned above, go to Ride Master | Home for most of the rally announcements.

Note that the Valkyrie Rallys are Women only events.

Other events like the HamPower 1500 and others put on by Jonathan Tan and excellent dip your toe events. Not quite full endurance rally, but certificate ride focused with scavenger hunt features and excellent practice methods for both cert rides and endurance rallies.

The Lobo Loco rallies are also excellent and can be started from anywhere. Wolfe Bonham does a great job with these and puts on many of them.

More like this can be found on RideMaster along with traditional rallies, RTEs and organized cert ride events.
 
I descride us and our rallies as a bunch of solo riders who travel across the country to a place where we all get together to do another solo ride and returning back together to compare how well we did on said solo ride and then return home on yet another solo ride.

Besides the massive amount of time and effort it takes to organize any event, let alone a rally that emcompasses a large area, is that the increased cost to insure it has become almost prohibitive. My hat is off to these Rally Masters.

Sorry so late. Just seeing this. No enlightenment from me, though. I haven't been rallying and Ride Master runs itself so I'm not hip to most rides offered without actually going to the home page to see what's there.
