Scott, Here's some more teasing about this year's 4th Annual Devil's Creek Dual Sport Weekend, July 29/30 in Brooksville, Florida. Entry forms will be in the upcoming newsletter going out early next week! Saturday will be an Adventure Tour suitable for two up, beginners, people with big dual sport bikes (KLR, BMW, Triumph, etc)and those that just want to ride and explore on some very scenic paved and dirt roads in the area. The Saturday ride includes a scavenger hunt game where you can participate and win prizes like a gear bag, camelbak hydration system and much more! Also Included in the entry for Saturday is a BBQ dinner, along with a ride and admission to the Dade City Raceway to watch the MX races Saturday night. Sunday will be the tougher dirt oriented ride, depending on the weather could be wet, could be dry. According to the map, we're looking at 120+ miles (actual miles may vary, once again, depending on the weather). Don't judge this 120 miles by the 150 easy miles of daytona. It's Not even close! (especially if it gets wet!) There will be a shorter main route with a longer (15-20 mile) optional section for the experienced riders. Plan on a 60-70 mile fuel range. The sunday ride will be doable but a hand full on a KLR650, and not recommended for bikes bigger than the KLR650. Bring your aggressive street legal knobbies, this is shaping up to be the best Creek yet! I encourage ya'll to do both days. It's not so much the riding, but the people. The new friends you'll meet, the things you'll learn about bikes and techniques, and just having a good 'ole time with a bunch of new motorcyclin' buddies! If you do both days you can have the entire dual sport spectrum, from easy road riding to challenging trail riding, and everything in between. If you treat this as a motorcycling happening more than just a ride, you'll get the full flavor of what we're trying to do. It's the bikes. It's the riding. But most of all, its the people. All entrants will recieve: an event t-shirt saturday entry includes: Scavenger Hunt & prizes BBQ Dinner Admission to MX Races Sunday entry Includes: Continental Breakfast Lunch Once again, look for more details and an entry flyer in the upcoming newsletter, due out next week. Those of you on the list who have not yet subscribed to The Southern Dual Sporting Newsletter and have not joined the WDSRC, you can do so by going to our website at http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Canyon/5245 Looking forward to seeing ya'll there!
