Dual Sport Trail Ride
A dual-sport ride is a motorcycle event that utilizes a mixture of public roads, paved and unpaved, as well as off-road trails and tracks that may be on private property. Usage of all the sections of the route are provided by permits from applicable municipalities and permission of private landowners.
The planned route for this event is about 120 miles, although adverse weather may require route adjustments on the day of the event. Roughly 30% of the route is on paved roads – the remainder is on varying terrain that includes gravel roads, 2-track paths, dirt trails, and single-track Hero sections that offer more difficulty to the rider – note that Hero sections can be bypassed for riders on bigger machines that are not suitable for such trails, or if the rider just isn’t interested in riding that section.
A dual-sport ride is purely recreational – this is not a competitive event…no one is going to be tracking times or “keeping score” or anything like that. The whole point of the event is just to have a good time on your dual-sport bike, riding on a course that normally you wouldn’t have access to.
Registration is open to the first 200 participants, with staging out of the Gas Lite on USH 10 near Ellsworth.Date and Time
