durty dabbers invite

Up for a challenge in the Mid Atlantic ?

http://www.durtydabbers.com/

This is a BIG time national dual-sport event, choose your skill level carefully.

The adventure bike course is intended for the larger bikes such as the Yamaha Tenere, BMW GS series and the Suzuki V-Strom. This course is less single track and more of a scenic nature ride.

I'm riding the Saturday course unsure about Sunday yet.Ha,quite familiar with state forest ground,read I can cheat semi legally. LOL

2012 Durty Dabber Dual Sport:

Plans for the 22nd annual Durty Dabber Great Adventure Dual Sport are moving along nicely at this point. We have met with all 3 forestry districts and have worked out the technical and regulatory issues. We are now down to refining the layout of the course. We are happy to announce that we will have at least 2 and maybe even 3 new alternates for each day.

The adventure bike course is being given more attention this year and we are attempting to add more scenic views to the route. For the main course on Sunday we were able to recover a considerable amount of single track land for riding that we lost the last 2 years.

The trials exhibition that we have during dinner is expected to be bigger and better than ever. We have a large trials club and in fact have some newly crowned National trials champions who will be riding and performing for everyone throughout the evening.

As we finalize the course will be able to provide more updates to the weekend events.

I hope that scenic nature ride does not equate to boring and not challenging at all? I was hoping to cross a stream or something :P

Ha, the "alternate sections" will challenge even an expert ADV rider on a little bike. We were forced to "tame down" the route due to the large number of folks scared to death on the gnarly. The rock gardens are notorious for eating motorcycles.

Special treat this year, as we have permission to use private land.

Please ping your cell # to my private mailbox (DRxBMW@aol.com)

If you arrive early, I can lead you on a whiz bang warmup romp, Bald Eagle SF is my home turf.

Basement with a real bed is open for a place too crash if needed, only 26 miles from the start.

I did this ride last year. I highly enjoyed it. I didn't due to the "adventure" route so I can't comment on it. I rode the regular dualsport route and did all the options/hero sections. Some nice sigle track and fun rock gardens especially with the rain we got last year on day one.
I thought Sat was a little bit better of a route last year, if you can only do one day...

I'm bummed I'm unable to make it this year due to a scheduling conflict.
