RIDING AT THE RALLY:

Adventure riding is one of the most rewarding things that can be done on two wheels. Do you know that more than 95% of the worlds roads are unpaved. And some of the most beautiful and interesting places in America are somewhere beyond where the pavement ends. If you are nervous about dirt roads or difficult terrain, join us at a RawHyde Class on off road riding (See Adventure Camp on our home page)...

This Rally has lots of options for a variety of great riding. We strongly suggest that you get a "Delorme- or - Benchmark map of California to help with your navigation. As our rally programs get more refined we have found it more and more difficult to get permits for "specific rides" thus, we are not encouraging group rides on clearly identified routes. Our offering to you with the rally program is the chance to make new friends and explore the unique areas that we are visiting.
