This is a yearly migration of all types of motorcycles. Yours included when you go. Have a special bike to ride ? Bring it in a trailer. RIDE IT ! Kind of a big party. Meet in the town of PineBluff/Cross Plains. There is no set time to meet, though the majority of bikes get there 9:30-10. There is hot food to purchase at Red Mouse or wait & ride to Leland where there will be even more bikes in yet a smaller town... grab your moto friends & GO !

Welcome to the Best dual sport Club in the Northern Hemisphere. Great Lakes Dual sport club ride #1 . The rides are typically 100 miles of two track trails in a loop design (Sat. & Sun) although there are many possibilities that you will encounter. The rides are free and only require membership into the club ($10 per year) https://www.gldsmc.com/
GPS tracks are supplied and the club supplies dinner on Saturday Night.
The ride stages from campgrounds in close proximity to the ride. You are not obligated to ride both days , ride the full loop, or camp at the campground. The members are generally older riders with years of experience. I learned about this group thanks to Chicago dual sport riders and have attended regularly. Feel free to reach out to me for more details.
