I have got to quit this working crap some day so that I can play more. I doubt I'll make it to TriStar, and that's too bad...I've enjoyed it greatly when I've gone.

If you're on the fence about going, get off and GO.

[LSO]

I ready for this event!  Pretty much one year since I last rode, so I'm really looking forward to being at Tri-star!  Registration sent.

Does anyone have some dual-sport routes for the Sparta area?  I've recently added a 2015 BMW R1200GS Adventure to my garage and would like to take it on some DS rides.

Don,

I have one that I am tweaking. I have some "previous" Fools Run routes as well, which can be customized as well.

I think you'll want Adventure Bike routes not dual sport routes.
Take a look at Fools Run  http://msta-se.com/fun/

It's mainly a dual sport event and the dual sport routes would be very hard on a GS.
However some people have asked about bigger bikes (Adventure Bikes) so I've added Adventure routes to the event.
There will be 3 or 4 Adventure routes at Fools Run that will be appropriate for bigger bikes.

There will be GPS routes available for the event. They are still being worked on but will be available before the event.

Thanks for that suggestion, Doug!  I'll consider attending the Fools Run. As a newcomer to riding an adventure bike, I certainly don't want to get into a route beyond my skill level.

Don, Congratulations on the new ride! The new GSA is a Fantastic ride! I could be up for an Adventure route ride at Tri-STAR too.


I might be out riding my Super Tenere'

Don and Brick,

The dual sport route for TRISTAR I am tweaking is also big/adventure bike friendly.  Doug McPeek rode it last year on his BMW. 

Also, I will revise a 2013 Fools Run route for another option, so we will have 2 routes for TRISTAR.

Recently I happened to visit the website of BMW Motorcycle Club of Georgia and found several "dual-sport" routes for BMW GS riders during their Georgia Mountain Rally on the first weekend in May. Perhaps someone with better local knowledge than I could look them over. After slight modification, these routes may be suitable for our NGC in April.

Thanks, Brick!  I'd very much enjoy going on an adventure ride with you there. My GSA came with Michelin Anakee-3 tires, which will hopefully be adequate for most rides that I would attempt.
