FAQ's
Why is the rally held
Sunday through Wednesday?
There are several reasons
for this. By holding the rally Sunday through Wednesday we are able
to provide better travel conditions for riders when weekends in The
Gorge are otherwise at high levels. Those who choose to take the
entire week off for vacation get the bonus of an extra day since the
following weekend is Labor Day. It also insures there will be less
hikers, mountain bikers, horses and four wheel drive vehicles along
the unimproved roads on the suggested rides.
What’s the best setup for
me to have on my bike during the rally?
Cross terrain tires such as
a 80/20 or 90/10 composition are suggested since some of the riding
involves highway speeds of over 50 mph. 60/40 knobbies and below
are not the best choice. All bikes must be street legal if operated
on pavement and/or Forest Service roads. The Skamania Fairground,
accessible by pavement will be our rally and camping location so
extensive off-road luggage systems are not needed as all rides will
be day rides starting and ending at the same location.
What sort of off-road
riding will be available?
We will provide suggested
rides along unimproved forest roads which will include stretches of
pavement. For the more agile and daring we will also provide
information onsite of single track trail systems you can ride while there.
Our group was thinking about meeting for our
annual gathering at the rally. Can you accommodate our need to camp
together?
We can and we do this for a number of groups each
year. Please contact us via email with your specific request and be sure
to include the number of people you plan to have onsite.
What about food - are you
providing any meals?
We will be providing
breakfast and dinner on Tuesday. The city of Stevenson has a large
supermarket with a full service deli and there are plenty of
restaurants in town, with more restaurants over the river in Cascade
Locks, and east in Bingen. Vegetarian options are available.
Please email us with your request.
I have a sleep apnea condition. Are there electrical outlets near
the camping area?
Yes. There are more than a dozen outlets along the west side of the
tent camping area and electrical outlets throughout the RV area
