There are lots of excellent riding options in the local area to choose from. GPX files will be provided with suggested routes for adventure bikes and dual sports before arrival. We suggest doing your own research before the event to familiarize yourself with the area, including some of the classic mountain pass trails such as Tin Cup, Cumberland, Hancock, Tomichi, Cottonwood, Italian Creek, Pearl, and many more. We encourage attendees to create small groups and ride with like-minded new friends.
