Happy Crystal Anniversary -- No Alibi is 15 years old!
Rallymaster wrap-up: Thanks to everyone for a fantastic 15th anniversary No Alibi. I think we captured the flavor of the first years of this event with our dash across much of the state, using some favorite routes as well as some new roads. The 2014 No Alibi TSD Rally was a 500-mile, two-day rally that explored Central and Eastern Washington's rolling scenery, pleasant weather and smooth roads.
It's hard to decide on a favorite section. Weigh the drama of Hole in the Ground versus the forest of Canyons. The curves of Telford or the dramatic descent of Rock Island Grade? It's hard to pick just one. Being able to explore the routes for the event and then run them all while measuring means Marvin and I were able to experience them four times, and I'd be happy to go back again.
It takes a talented group of volunteers to put on an event of this caliber. Thanks to the following people:
