      This event is a fundraiser for various local charities in Forest County and surrounding counties. All raffle and auction proceeds are donated to those great causes.  This is truly exciting and rewarding for the Wisconsin Dual Sport Riders to support our local community.


    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"


    Adventure Route
    This ride is intended for larger multi-cylinder and big single-cylinder bikes, but all bikes are welcome. The route involves plenty of gravel and easy two-track forest roads. This ride will contain some more challenging but optional easy single-track suitable for large Adventure type motorcycles. Saturday's route is usually ~130 miles and Sunday's route is usually ~100 miles. 

     

    Dual Sport GGR(Guided Group Ride)

    Due to lack of GGR participants there is no formal GGR. However Lauren Swanson will provide some details about hero sections that are accessible to new riders. There will be a meet up at 6PM Friday at Firefighters Park in front of registration to give an opportunity to meet new riders. There may be groups willing to guide new riders, no guarantees.
