GS Giants - Muddy Minuteman
2022-08-10 20:00 - 2022-08-14 19:59 (America/New_York) | Camp Bobriwka, 82 Fritz Road, Colebrook, Connecticut, 06021, United States
The Muddy Minuteman is a 33 hour adventure rally, a 10 hour mini adventure and a rally all in one!

The 33 and 10 hr adventures are what the AMA considers a bonus hunt. Bonus locations will be spread throughout New England. Each bonus location will have a point value; to collect the points riders will need to visit a location and perform a specific task such as take a photograph. There is no set route. Riders will receive a .GPX file of the bonus locations prior to the event.

There will be a 9hr period (Friday 21:00 to Saturday 06:00) were riders will not be allowed to collect points except for resting. To maximize these points riders will need to set up a campsite and cook a meal; returning to camp for the night is also an option that will score points.

While this event is designed for the large bike rider with some experience off pavement, some bonus locations will be considered quite difficult to reach and will be noted as such in the rallybook. Teams are highly recommended.

For the 33hr and 10hr rally the motorcycle must have a minimum engine displacement of 300cc. Bikes will be split into classes based on displacement.

There will also be a self-guided easy adventure ride and some more challenging rides available via .GPX files for those that prefer to just ride, baby ride and have a good time off the bike. There are also miles of trails on site for those who simply wish to come hang out. Dinner Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Breakfast Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Great riding both paved and dirt close by, trails on site too. Evening fun with fire.

Our host is Camp Bobriwka in Colebrook, Ct. It is a fantastic spot for a rally on 350 very private acres with a dining hall, bunk houses, bathhouse and more. Wonderful field camping with afternoon shade as well as dispersed camping by water. This is the spot where Rock Lobster was to be held.

Rules and more information can be found here.

Sugarbush Vermont BMW MOA Getaway
2022-09-08 20:00 - 2022-09-11 19:59 | NY
We are back for a second fantastic year at the Sugarbush Resort in Warren Vermont! This 4000 acre, four-season resort is famous for being one of the largest ski resorts in New England and where the outdoor enthusiast can find abundant summer activities. Situated at the base of Mt Ellen, the third tallest peak in Vermont, Sugarbush Resort in located in the historic Mad River Valley. This is where you “come for the mountains, and stay for the valley”.

An area rich in history and culture is waiting for you in Vermont. With scenic Byways that have you traveling back in time through quaint villages and shires, over authentic covered bridges and passed spectacular waterfalls, this Getaway location will not disappoint.

During your trip, you might want to check out the Mad River Taste Place, where you can purchase locally-made culinary delights, visit the Artisan’s Gallery for a truly one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted creation, or visit the State Capital building in near-by Montpelier. Perhaps a different perspective is what you are looking for. If so, a birds-eye view soaring high above the valleys in the seat of a glider just might be the ticket.

And, of course, what visit to Vermont would be complete without a visit to the famous Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory. Tours are available daily and really, who doesn’t need a little ice cream?

The Iowa Rally Gets Published
Of course, you can’t mention this rally without speaking of the late Keith Dempster and how he founded this gathering of BMW enthusiasts on his farm way back in 1976. I still believe Keith coined the phrase “If you build it, they will come” although that has yet to be confirmed.

Interested in getting your GS dirty, but haven’t done dirt before? The MABDR is the easiest Backcountry Discovery Route and one of 2 on the east coast.

All in, this trip covers at least 2100 miles (plus whatever day rides at the rally) passing thru 9 states (New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia & Pennsylvania.

We head down to the BMW MOA Rally in Northeastern Virginia and then head to northern Tennessee with a lunch stop in North Carolina to camp the night before we start the MABDR in Damascus VA just across the Tennessee/Virgina border. You should have knobby tires as recommended by the BDR to do this route. The entire route for this trip is about 2000 miles, so fresh tires prior to leaving is advised. I am using Michelin Anakee Wilds. With >2000 miles this trip takes a good option as TKC 80s are typically basically slicks by 3K & I get at least 4K on the Wilds rear.
