The riding will be fine in 2009!
Since 2005 the scenic Columbia River Gorge has played host to the
Dualsport Northwest Rally. Join us again this year in the Gorge for five
days, four nights and too much fun as we ride the back roads of
Washington and Oregon in July and August. Unlike some other dualsport
rallies, this event is open to all makes, models and sizes of dualsport
and adventure bikes.
“I’m very pleased with this dualsport rally. I met some new
friends, took some great rides and really enjoyed the presentations.”
Tim B. – Seattle, WA
Rally Highlights
Scenic rides and beauty
The setting is like no other. Nestled in the Columbia River Gorge
(along the Columbia River on the border of Washington and Oregon) you’ll
experience a broad range of wildlife, terrain, unique geological
features and scenic vistas. Ride hundreds of miles of scenic roads and
discover the places that can’t be reached without riding off pavement.
Guest Speakers, Clinics and Seminars
Each year we feature an impressive collective of guest speakers,
clinics and seminars. Improve your GPS skills, learn how to set up your
bike for better performance, handling and travel, improve your riding
skills and explore a range of adventure possibilities with our evening
travel programs and much more.
Full Service Fairground & Community
The rally is held at the Skamania County Fairgrounds in Stevenson
Washington. The fairgrounds features all the facilities to make your
experience a pleasant one including fully equipped restroom & shower
facilities, spacious tent camping area, and RV hookups (small extra charge).
Like-minded Camaraderie
Throughout your five day experience you’ll enjoy the company of other
dualsport enthusiasts, share your knowledge and gain from theirs, meet
new riders and leave wanting more.
Special Evening Events
Relax during our evening programs which include a silent auction,
informative travel presentations, movies, door prize giveaways, fireside
chats and more.
