Two-Bits - An Example

An example of what to expect.

  • When you get right down to it, the description of scavenger hunts in AMA's rule book accurately describes this type of motorcycle rally. A list of bonus locations ("bonii") are scattered mostly along a base route with a few others spread farther abroad, with each of them worth a certain number of points. The objective of the rally is to ponder the bonus listings provided at the rally and decide which bonii to collect, keeping in mind a pace that is comfortable to you and where you'd prefer to ride. Here is a very short example using some bonii from previous Two-Bits Rallies, with the starting and ending point in Littleton, Colorado.

  • Kremmling - 52 points - In Kremmling, at US-40 and 12th Street is Veterans Memorial Park where a Cobra AH1F attack helicopter is proudly displayed. Riding in one during a 120-degree bank-over is definitely an E-ticket ride! According to the plaque by the helicopter, the Cobra's service years were ___________.

  • Bent's Old Fort near La Junta - 101 points - Visit Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site near La Junta, Colorado. At the visitor center obtain a National Park Passport stamp with today's date. If you don't have a National Park Passport book you may want to purchase one and start a collection of park stamps. It's very addicting and will take you to many a park or monument that you might not have visited otherwise. To get to Bent's Old Fort from US-50 in La Junta, follow the signs that will direct you to travel 1 mile north on CO-109, then 6 miles east on CO-194.

  • Using this very simple example, you would have to make a decision whether to:
    1) Ride to Kremmling and find the answer to fill in the blank, showing you were there.
    2) Ride to Bent's Old Fort and obtain a National Park passport stamp to show you were there.
    3) Try to get both bonii within the 6 hour rally.
    4) Or perhaps you'd just go for a fun ride in the mountains and join us at the finish with no points at all.
