Surviving the Backroads with David Hough - Realizing what's going to happen before it does is a key to a better riding experience. And there's no better way to learn it than from the master of riding skills himself.

Body Mechanics Clinics w/Ramey "Coach" Stroud - Beyond the fact that motorcycles have 2 or three wheels, every type of bike requires different body mechanics. Riding a sportbike requires decidedly different body positioning and movement than riding a dualsport, sport tourer, or maxi scooter. Coach Stroud will teach a series of four clinics, each specific to a particular type of bike represented here at the rally. Get in on the one's that are right for you.

Dual Sport Body Mechanics w/Bret Tkacs - Following Coach Ramey's seminar on body mechanics Bret Tkacs and members of Puget Sound Safety will lead interested riders on a two hour dualsport ride to put to use what you learned in class.

The Secret Ride presented by Happy Trails - Dual Sport Northwest and Tim Bernard of Happy Trails has teamed up again this for a special ride. Last year it was the “Three Buck Ride” and riders were challenged at different stops on how there bike was equipped.

This year Tim has literally “cooked up” a ride of a different sort. You need an Adventure bike, you need basic trail skills, you need to be self-sufficient and most of all you need an appetite. This will be a ride with a special lunch provided and a special tour at a location that is otherwise off-limits. It will be run on Thursday during the rally.

There will be a $25.00 fee for this ride. ALL the money goes to Sound RIDER's special charity for the kids in the Gorge - The Gorge Kids Explorer Fund. Happy Trails is covering the cost of the lunch at the destination.

If you are already signed up for the rally, CLICK HERE to sign up for The Secret Ride. Only Dualsport Northwest participants will be allowed on this ride and wrist bands will be checked before and during the ride.
