Well, all you guys/gals of "Offroad Adventure" and those wishing too learn it, Redmond sure has some treats, not seen before at a National Rally. Some of this has been around before, but its bigger and better in Redmond, as we grow with experience doing this. Part 1; Offroading a GS, seminars will be held by Ramey "Coach" Stroud and his longtime journey through the world on a bike and dirt riding will "shine" through to all of us, yearning to know more. Coach has been very excited, talking with me countless times about what he can do and is so willing a partner, with some hands on in the dirt trainings for some very lucky GS'ers. This man seems to live and breathe dirt and "Adventure". He is also promoting the 2 days before the rally, GS Rides for the BMWMOA Foundation, as a fundraiser, so keep watch for this.
Part 2; Jim Hyde of Rawhyde Adventures is promoting his Adventure School in Redmond for a group of 15+ riders and this is a fairly limited affair, at a cost to the riders to participate. This is his business and quite successful, I might add to his credit. If Jim can manage his time, some seminar activity from his end will be present as well. If you're lucky enough to get into his school at Redmond, you come away with some rewarding talents, I'm sure. You can ask more of him at his website and find this at any search engine you choose. Its an easy find! JIM wishes you to come watch his activities, even if you're not in the group. He welcomes all spectators and it promises to be a hoot indeed....
Part 3; Dave Zuber(my GS Co chair person), an Oregonian with some great geographical knowledge of the Beaver State, has been one busy beaver as well with mappings of daily GS offroad routes to be had. From what I've seen in pictures, Oregon dirt byways have played second fiddle to nobody in N.America. The sights are awesome and a great camera should be at hand. Dave has mapped a route for each day of the rally and maybe more by rally time. He's an accomplished offroader and has much to offer. You find him, pick his byway brains. Take water and trail mix......
Part 4; Well, this is my end and an adventure of sorts, but very closeby, inside the rally grounds to boot! A "GS Trials Competition", which some of you may have seen in previous rallies like Tennessee and Wyoming. Its here again. I'm setting a course with everyones(above) help, to get those wanting to have some dirt fun, competeing against one another, just for the fun times of it all. Nothing to get all worried about(the course). You ride into this rally, I want you to ride out and home safe! We've had some fun at this and its a repeat in Redmond. SO, learn what you wish from the Pros above and come here to the competiton to shine, before your friends. Spectators will be watching
We've all been busy preparing what I expect to be a GS Rally and Events pointed right at you folks riding GS's. Of course all BMWs are going to really be right alongside us and Oregon has so much to see and do, both street and dirt, nobody's going home without smiles. Whether you come from Maine,Florida far away Canada, Alaska, Mexico are wherever, please come knowing something special awaits in Oregon come JULY. I'm looking forward to meeting many new and old friends, so Please find me riding my '07 GSA1200(red/white). Happy Trails all, Randy "Polarbear" Owens of Clovis,CA.....GS ChairPerson/Redmond
