DUAL SPORT COURSE

Roll chart and/or GPX tracks

• 300+ Miles of dirt roads, two-track, jeep trails, gravel and scenic pavement
• Navigate by roll chart, GPX tracks, or both — GPX files distributed closer to the event

ADV COURSE

GPS navigation required

• Gravel, paved and forest roads
• Must be navigated by GPS — if your unit cannot handle tracks, you will not be able to follow our files
• No sweep or other support. ADV riders must be 100% self-sufficient.

YOUR ENTRY INCLUDES

• Breakfast at camp and a hearty lunch on course, both days
• Live music Friday night
• Dinner Friday & Saturday; donations appreciated
• Event T-shirt
• Roll chart and/or GPX files for your route

BEFORE YOU CAN RIDE

• Online event registration, no walk ups at the event
• Current AMA membership — join at join.americanmotorcyclist.com
• A street-legal, registered bike with a spark arrestor
• Bike inspection at check-in, staring on Friday afternoon

RIDE SMART

• Do not ride either course alone — strongly discouraged on Dual Sport, especially so on ADV.
• Do not count on cell coverage anywhere on either course.
• Gas is available along both routes — plan your fuel stops.
