Black River Rally & Dual Sport Tour

On September 19 & 20, 2009, you can tour the gorgeous, rugged country of upstate New York during prime fall leaf season! The tours will be in and around the towns of Croghan, Edwards, Harrisville, and Pitcairn, New York. As an added bonus, we’re having the Black River Stages rally race there that weekend, too!

Here’s what you get with your $80 entry fee:

• A discount lodging deal at the 1000 Lakes Adirondack Campground. As long as 50 folks show up, everyone gets 25% off the campsite fees.
• A Limited Edition Event T-shirt!
• A Limited Edition Event Sticker for your bike!
• Cool wristband that not only lets you know who the other cool people are, but also gets you:
  • Two-day access to the rally pits!
  • Two-day access to the rally spectator areas!
  • A Spectator Guide
• A Burger & Beans Dinner on Saturday in the rally pit area so you can see the rally bike and car crews working on their gear!
• Admittance to the Rally Awards Ceremony on Sunday. This includes a Roasted Chicken Dinner and time to hang out with the competitors!
• A self-guided dual-sport ride that uses a rally-style scroll chart. You’ll see some interesting roads and get a taste of Dakar-style navigation!
