About this site

My name is Ian Holmes. A few years ago I discovered the branch of motor sport known as road rally. Along with my wife, Lorrie, we road rally our 2014 Ford Focus in regular road rallies and my 1976 MGB in classic road rallies. In 2015 I took over the co-drivers seat for local rally driver Dan Little. This blog describes my adventures in all forms of rallying.

Big Road Rallye Weekend

Labor Day weekend is coming up fast. The end of summer.
End of Summer Already? It can't be.
Though it may be thought of as the "unofficial" end of summer, it's going to be a great weekend in the Road Rallye calendar, for down in LaCrosse Wisconsin there's a weekend of double road rallye fun taking place on the Tarmac roads of the Coulee country of Wisconsin.
On the Saturday August 30th is the Oktober Rally. This is a National Rally. But regional and novice contestants shouldn't be put off by this fact, for there will be a separate class for Regional runners. 
The Oktober Rally is a trap Rally with tricky clues to solve to help you navigate the course. For the regional contestants there will be help with solving these instructions.
On the Sunday, August 30th is the Badger Trails a tour rally with no complicated instructions to solve.  
The Roads in Coulee country are some of the best road rally roads around. It should be a real treat. We hope to be there one day, but we're also packing for a vacation back home in England starting the following Friday. So for us, it just depends how the packing goes.
Here then are the details for the event.
