Rites of
Spring 2006
May 6-7, 2006 - Atlanta, Michigan
Put on by The Capitol Chapter & The Great Lakes Dual Sporters
New is the word for the 2006 Rites of Spring. A new location
to stage from. New courses that you've not run in this area before. New
stories, new friends, new adventures - just great stuff.
The Event is held at the Montmorency
County Fairgrounds in Atlanta, Michigan.
See the Capitol Chapter's write
up on the upcoming event.
There will be 2-3 off-road, two-wheel only routes
ranging in length from 15 to nearly 80 miles. The 80 mile loop
will now have gas available at a specified gas/lunch stop. There
will be a kids
loop available which is roughly 20 miles.
ATVs will also be welcome
and will utilize a separate ATV route.
New location and even better routes for 2006!
Dual Sport will run you through winding two tracks that you swear
never end. Just when you are certain it can't get better you'll turn
a corner and be amazed at the scenic wonders that abound. Just enough
challenges and too much good stuff are what we have laid out. Two
loops, with shorter options, gas and food on both routes. One loop
is 120 miles, the other 110. Must be street legal and meet ORV requirements
for spark & 94db sound check. Route Sheets, Maps and GPS info
