Join AltRider and Giant Loop on an exclusive dual sport ride at the 2010 BMW MOA International Rally!

Our route will include both pavement and dirt, so come prepared! We’ll take you to see the sparkling waters of Lake Billy Chinook, ride through the fiercely beautiful Oregon desert, and visit a historic pioneer cemetery. You’ll have the chance to stare down the DesChutes Canyon, as well as brave a river crossing. Professional photographers will be set up to capture footage of your ride, so you can share it with friends and family.

Don’t miss out on a great route and the chance to meet other dual sport riders! RSVP now on the AltRider website, because there are only 35 open spots. Once you RSVP, you’ll receive updates about the ride as it gets closer.

We’ll meet Wednesday, July 14 at 8:30 a.m. for coffee and a route briefing at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond, Oregon. Prepared box lunches will be provided – all you need to bring is your own bike and gear. If you have questions, email Christina (christina.o@altrider.com) for more information.

We look forward to riding with you!
