Looking forward to this ride!!! It was 15 years ago that I attended my first Bethany (on the SAME bike I might add.... shout-out to my TE450 I threw together some b-roll footage clips over the past 15 years to get us in the mood for the 2024 ride
This year’s ride will follow the same sort of route as past events and sponsored again this year by Triple Clamp Moto!! Date: SUNDAY , April 28th (MOVED DUE TO REQUESTS BY MANY ) Time Registration 8:00 to 9:30 Riders Meeting 9:30 to 9:45 Stands up at 10 am! The Starting location with parking is: Haugen's Chicken and Ribs 13801 Hwy 7 and 12, Port Perry, ON L9L 1B5 Please park on the north gravel section and try to leave room for others. We will have a DS ride suitable for smaller bikes with off-road tires and a big bike or ADV route as well with bypasses. Sorry but we can not support the dedicated ADV route this year, ADV guys can ride the DS route with some bypasses as most did the last couple of years. The route is currently set to be simular to 2019. The DS route is around 275kms covering mostly backroads and closed road allowances from Uxbridge to Bethany. Lunch at this point is "Bring or Buy your own" There are snacks available at all gas stops and the restaurant in Bethany may be open for those who want to sit down inside. The registration form is attached. Please bring the signed form to the start along with a $20 entry fee.
I think it's worth shifting the ride to Sunday ☀️ Saturday 15mm rain ️ 11c Sunday 5mm partially sunny 22c
The Bethany Dual Sport Ride has been moved to Sunday the 28th! The weather should be much better, and a lot of people have contacted me to move it to Sunday when we have warmer weather predicted and a lower chance of rain.
Thanks SOOO much to this year's Bethany organizers!! Another great start to the season! This year was the "tale of two Bethanies" for me... sweating and eating dust in the morning, then THIS after lunch! Thanks again @keener for the tow rope (AND the pull!!)
I'm glad we missed that section on the after lunch ride, it was wet enough as it was. Thanks to Kevin & Cam for putting the ride on!
Big thanks again to all involved in putting on todays event! Bethany never disappoints! Great weather this morning, this afternoon, was interesting. Thanks also to Todd and the guys I was riding with today, really glad we skipped lunch and did the later sections before the rains got worse! Hours of rain riding home cleaned the mud Xhumeka: At least your horn didn't get wet Hope the bike is ok! Kevin: My 525 with the not so knobby tires got through all if it also making some much deeper ruts in the deep water/mud Good seeing everyone again!
