This event is a fund raiser for UW Carbone Cancer Center in Madison, WI. All raffle and auction proceeds are donated to UW-CCC. Donations are collected by club members and event participants. Checks to UW Carbone Cancer Center are accepted. Representatives from the UW Cancer Research Center usually come to the event to thank the club and participants for their support and to inform us of the research they have been able to perform because of the fund raising the club has made over the years. This is truly exciting and rewarding for the Wisconsin Dual Sport Riders to support research at UW-CCC to cure breast and colon cancer.
Dual Sport Route
Dual Sport is a type of motorcycle riding which is a mix of off road trails connected with the use of roads. Trails are used with permission and/or permits through the USFS, County forests, and private landowners. Trails range from 2 track, gravel, minimal pavement (as little as we can), and single track (Hero) sections that are optional - Saturday's route is usually about 125 miles and Sunday's route is usually about 75 miles (though miles and routes change often yearly). The motorcycles are street legal motorcycles that are fully off road capable. Knobby tires strongly recommended for the "Hero Sections"
Dual Sport Light (The Original 101)
Saturday's route is a guided trail ride. No rider left behind. We try to create a unique route which minimizes contact with the faster Main Route riders. This route is suitable for those who desire to enjoy the forest road trails (some mud, sand, single and two track, gravel) without the pressure to keep up with the pack in the main Dual Sport route. Club members will lead the ride and provide assistance. We usually break the group into a few smaller ones during the ride based on your abilities and experience.
Before the ride starts we will discuss roll chart reading, GPS tracks, trail etiquette, tire pressure, etc. This ride is not intended to teach you how to ride. Men and women of all ages are invited to participate. This ride has had participants ranging from ages 16 to 77. Sunday's route will not be guided, and will be the standard Dual Sport Main route where you can opt-in or opt-out of the more challenging single-track sections. Many riders "buddy up" Sunday, and ride at their own pace.

Adventure Route
This ride is for larger multi-cylinder and big single-cylinder bikes, like the 890R, 1290R, GS850, GS1250, V-Strom, Super Tenere, Tiger, KLR650, and others, but all bikes are welcome. The route involves plenty of 4wd roads miles to develop new skills plus sandy roads, gravel roads, maybe a touch of mud or deeper sand, and very little asphalt. This ride may contain some more challenging but optional "Hero" type off-road sections based upon rider input from previous events. Saturday's route is usually ~175 miles and Sunday's route is usually ~100 miles. Suitable off-road tires are required!
