There is a biker saying that the best alarm clock is sunlight on chrome. For me, one of the best things about rallies is the chance to do day rides in places I'd never normally get to see. A run around Ossiacher See, or into Slovenia and Italy, or up the Villacher Alpenstrasse - no baggage, no deadlines, just riding.
And as most rally-goers stay at site listening to the bands till late, the early morning roads tend to be nice and quiet and cool. And I can chill out and practise my twisties without the pressure of a load of bikes behind me. Riding is a lot like fighting that way: it works a damn sight better if you're relaxed.
