BMW Motorrad USA is the official sponsor of RawHyde's Adventure Riders Challenge
RawHyde's Adventure Riders Challenge (ARC) is North America's most exciting adventure event. This is the third year of the Challenge and this year's event is completely revised to provide more riding - almost 500 miles over mountains with a view of the Pacific Ocean followed by desert riding the next day. Most of the route is dirt - all of it is scenic.
The ARC is now sponsored by BMW Motorrad USA and we encourage our dealers to support this event and even to attend in person. To check it out go to:
http://www.adventureriderchallenge.com/ARC Description - May 15 - 17
Participants will arrive on Thursday May 14 to ride the coastal mountains on Friday May15 and hit the desert on Saturday May 16. Two routes are provided, either big-time adrenaline for the thrill seekers or an easier, more relaxed ride. The rides are mandatory to complete the Challenge, there will be lunch and check points along the way.
A highlight of the Challenge is the Rodeo which requires strong low-speed and balancing skills, especially for the "Pit and the Pendulum". There will be thousands of dollars in prizes and a chance to pit riding skills against other participants. For the first time there will be team as well as individual competition.
Day One is the "Pit" challenge--a team event where three person teams ride their motorcycles through a deep ravine full of natural obstacles (and some un-natural obstacles as well). The fastest team to make it through is the winner.
Day Two is a solo competition where individual riders accrue points for demonstrating skills of balance, and finesse taking their bikes over obstacles through technically challenging terrains. Its all great fun and the camaraderie evoked is amazing.
Only about 250 participants in all can be accommodated, so sign-up now.
