The Gauntlet Dualsport Ride

Saturday, August 3rd, 2002  

This event has been CANCELED!

Brought to you by the Oregon_DSR in association with Northwest Tour & Trail

 Welcome to the first ever running of the Gauntlet Dualsport Event through the scenic Santiam Valley.  This ride will take in some breathtaking views, along with fun and exciting gravel and dirt roads for your riding enjoyment.  The Gauntlet will be approximately 160 miles in length.  There will be two routes; one easy to traverse for the bigger bikes and a slightly more aggressive course for you hardcore dualsporters.

Necessary items:  Your motorcycle will have to be road legal, and you will need to carry insurance.  You will also need a roll chart holder (roll chart will be provided).  You will need to be able to go 80 miles on a tank of gas.  Bring a CAMERA.  You’ll not be disappointed. 

Start and finish points:  We will be starting and finishing at Power Yamaha & KTM in Sublimity, Oregon.  Registration will begin at 7:30AM and all riders will need to be out on the course by 8:30AM.  Directions to Power Yamaha & KTM are as follows:

From I-5, take the Hwy 22/Detroit exit and go east from Salem.  Sublimity is approximately 10  - 15 minutes ahead.  Take the Sublimity exit and turn left.  The entrance to Power is the first left after going under the highway.   Call PYK at 503-769-8888 if more directions are needed.  There will be no lunch provided, but we will have soft drinks at the halfway check point.  Power Yamaha & KTM (at the finish point) will provide a FREE BBQ for all riders, and there is talk of a free breakfast, too.  There will be ample parking for all vehicles at the store site (no overnight camping). A list of camp sites and motels in the area can be found at the Gauntlet’s web page, please visit: www.blackdogdualsport.com  and click on the Gauntlet.

Costs:  There will be a $25 entry fee to all riders who pre-register and $35 for those who register on site.  There will be a limited amount of Gauntlet T-shirts, which can be purchased for $10 each (XL only, I am afraid). 

Trophies & prizes:  Trophies will be awarded to the first 10 places, and many prizes donated by Gauntlet sponsors will be given away.  Positions will be determined on a points basis earned through games of fun and chance, so all of you, no matter what skill level, are in the running to win something.  This is also an OMRA Dualsport Series Ride, and you may earn OMRA points and put yourself in the running for even more trophies and prizes.

Safety:  Safety is number ONE for you and anyone else that you are riding with or should come across along the route.  You are RESPONSIBLE, please act that way.  The Gauntlet sweep crew is the LAW out on the course.  They are there to help and assist anyone that may be in trouble.  Should you break down, stay on course and a sweeper will reach you in time.  We will have a follow truck to pull any of you out if need be.  The sweepers are there for YOUR safety; be nice to the sweepers. 

Sponsors of the Gauntlet are Power Yamaha & KTM of Sublimity, OR;  Taylor Motorcycles Inc. of Woodburn, OR;  Bill’s Motorcycles Plus of Salem, OR;  Northwest Tour & Trail of Hillsboro, OR;  Imperial Gardening of Salem, OR;  and the Oregon_DSR .
