HIGHLIGHTS
 David
Hough is in the House - On Sunday David Hough will present several
riding skills clinics designed to sharpen up your riding and street
survival skills. Don't miss em'. Hough is the author of the best selling
Proficient Motorcycling series of books.
Manufacturer Demo Rides - Come ride the latest models from some of
the top manufacturers. Choose from more than a dozen models
and experience them in an open road environment that you
just can't get in the city.
Twisties, Dinner and a Star Show - Always a
favorite this ride includes a twisty route to Goldendale
where you can choose your own spot for dinner. Riders
then head up to the Observatory for a star show and a
chance to glimpse the cosmos through the largest
open-to-the-public telescope on the West Coast.
Catered Breakfast and Dinner on Saturday - Two
of the top chefs in the Columbia River Gorge will
tantalize your taste buds with great meals on Saturday
before and after the Maryhill Loops run. Vegetarian
options are available too.
Ride Board - A posting board will be available
for those who want to meet others for rides. Here
you'll be able to post your interest in putting together
a ride
along with the time and day you plan to do it so others
can ride with you. It's a great way to meet new acquaintances
along the way.
STNW Forum - Use the
Sport Touring Northwest forum (courtesy of PNWriders.com) to hook up
with others coming to the rally and plan ahead.
Northwest/Motorcycle Trivia Game - Put a team
together of up to six people and test your knowledge about motorcycles
and about the Northwest. This fun game will no doubt be a nice ice
breaker to kick the rally off with allowing you to play with old friends
and meet new friends - or should we say - MINDS! 12 categories (6
motorcycle, 6 Northwest) of 5 questions each - may the best team win.
