2013 Heart of Texas Rally update.
We are just days away from the start of the 2013 Heart of Texas Rally.  This year the Heart of Texas Rally has a theme which is also a progressive bonus.  A few 2013 Heart of Texas participants that made the ride to the “Unique” bonus were able to get a glimpse of what to expect on where the bonus list will take everyone.  I have put together a selection of bonuses that I think will be fun and challenging to find.  There are 77 bonus locations that represent the letters and numbers of the phrase:
2013 HEART OF TEXAS
Of course as I mention before this will be a progressive bonus and will be worth 500 points.  Each letter and numbers can be collected in any order and you will be able to substitute up to four letters.  But, you cannot substitute the letter “X” or any of the numbers of 2013.  Don’t worry, there are plenty of great locations that will represent “X” and 2013.  To substitute letters all you will need to do is find a town or city that has the first letter in its name that represent a letter in the “Heart of Texas” phrase and then get a computer generated receipt from that town or city. 
So be looking for your Rally packet, which will include the general rules, last minute instructions, bonus list, a gpx file, a kmz file and a est file in your inbox April 21st.
Also expect some of my favorite non-location specific bonuses to be sent before you start the morning of April 27th.
