FAQ

Where does the web site name come from?

The name comes from a Golden Earring song called Another 45 Miles. Being a huge Golden Earring fan I felt a song about getting home was appropriate.

Here comes the night

A veil over the light

In the distance some shadows of the clouds in the sky

I've got to get home, to my child, my wife

Here comes the night

I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride

It looks like the road is swallowing me up

Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back

Blueville is straight ahead

Another 45 miles to go

Another 45 miles before I'm home

I wish I could pay the sun to run

Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son

Clouds in the sky

Gathering for a fight

Chasing their prey till it can't go on

I mend my pace 'cos my bride is waiting home

Why are your rallies so cheap?

The rallies are cheap because they don't include much. There are no t-shirts, and breakfast is not included though we do have one. This keeps costs down for me and for the rider. The costs hopefully cover the costs of hotel rooms and printing for the Rallymasters.
