    Thanks I noticed it on the OFTR site. Will they be adding ride details to that calendar or will that be posted elsewhere?

    You will be able to find the details here or on our Facebook page. The OFTR will send out the info off our page.
    This is the Bethany thread. I expect it will get busy once the weather breaks and the pre riders start getting out on the route.
    Spring is just around the corner!!!!

    April 23rd is the day and the official OFTR schedule agrees

    We will get the OFTR site adjusted.

    Pre-registration is now live on the Live Laps website.

    Goto livelaps.com and register as a participant
    Search Open events and find the Bethany Spring Dual Sport Ride.
    Follow the prompts to register in Advance.
    Its only 20 bucks and and the more people who pre-register the shorter the line up on the day of the ride!

    Just leave that blank or put odsc

    You have to sign up for the live laps website to make it work. It's free and lots of other rides will use this system this year

    I am trying to get a free day this week but its not looking promising. do you have a buddy to ride with?

    Otherwise I am planning for Friday to pre-ride the DS route or early next week. The 3" of snow we had last week combined with my bike not being ready has delayed the pre riding.

    I am new here, can I just show up at the ride and register there?
    Would love to come out to such an event :)

    Being a noob, any must haves gear wise and whatnot? I literally just started riding my dual sport yesterday.
    Just driving into this culture.

    At least for now, the recent rain has ensured that the northern portions of the Bethany Ride are just how I like it.

    * Insert evil **** eating grin here *

    Now to find time to actually ride it this year.

    Cheers Andy

    I'm coming off a decade of street riding. I'm not sure how much, if any, of my street gear can carry over to trail/dirt riding? I've got some offroad boots and knee guards, but beyond that what should I be looking at?

    Is the Bethany aggressive route something one with limited experience attempt?
