    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 20+ 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 for larger multi-cylinder and big single-cylinder bikes, like the 1090R, GS1200, GS800, 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 will contain some more challenging, but optional "Hero" type off-road sections based upon rider input from previous events. Saturday's route is usually ~130 miles and Sunday's route is usually ~100 miles. Suitable off-road tires are required!
