Georgia Recreational Trail Riders Association Proudly presents the "Hooch Dual Sport Ride" as a fund raising event to help insure that the USFS OHV parks of Georgia remain open and in good condition.

This event is sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), for quiet street-legal dual sport motorcycles. It includes two days of scenic riding in the North Georgia Mountains.  The ride is open to all Dual Sport Enthusiasts!  AMA membership is not required.

Entry fee includes ride both days, catered lunch both days, and ride T-Shirt.

There is  150 rider limit, and online registrations by midnight, May 23rd  to be accepted, so Don't Delay. ONLINE REGISTRATION IS PREFERRED  > Registration sells out every year.  

The Blue Ridge 250 

The Blue Ridge 250 is a charity fundraising event to support FOCUS + Fragile Kids and provide an enjoyable motorcycle adventure for its participants. It is actually two events in one, providing a 250 mile day of sport touring over the Southern Appalachian’s best roads and a shorter route which includes some unpaved Forest Service roads for adventurer touring and dual sport riders. Explicit route instructions will guide the rider along the spectacular designated routes.  

THE ANNUAL FALL FOLIAGE Self-Guided Dual Sport Ride SUNDAY Nov 8th, 2020

START: Tiger Drive-In Threatre, 2956 Old US Hwy 441 South, Tiger, GA 

 GARTRA has postponed the Fall Foliage Dual Sport Ride until Sunday, November, 8, 2020. Hurricane Zeta has caused widespread tree toppling and power outages in the area of the Fall Foliage ride. Power at our staging area at the drive-in theater and at the gas stations and restaurants in the area has not been restored at this time. There are reports of many trees down in the forest and we don’t  know the extent of the road blockages on the route because of downed trees. It’s just not practical to conduct the event this Sunday, November 1. We’ll see what it looks like next week.  We are truly sorry for the inconvenience. If you are in the area all ready, we do have teams that are pre-riding and cutting tree's if you would like to volunteer this weekend please let us know.  

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT  

NO WALK ON REGISTRATION 

Scull Shoals Dual Sport Ride 

The Amazing Dual Sport ride in Georgia

Dirt county roads and incorporate Durahamtowm Plantation on 2nd day 

(seriously technical hill climbs and pro level single track available. 

 A weekend of fairly easy Dual-Sport riding. 

Mostly two-track, lots of gravel, some rocks, some dirt. Weather should be mild/cool 50-75 degrees Fahrenheit 

There are a number of suggested routes to choose from and your hosts, Doug Pippin and Norm Kern will help you load your GPS. 

Soil in this area is sandy/loamy and drains quickly so there isn't much slippery mud. That said, there are areas that do not favor the large over 1000cc bikes.  

Georgia Mountain Rally   Postponed Until Further Notice 

  This area of the Appalachians offers rewarding twisties - including Deal’s Gap, the Cherohala Skyway and the Blue Ridge Parkway - inspiring vistas and renowned mountain hospitality.  Plus, it’s dual-sport heaven for all skill levels.  Truly the perfect start to anyone’s riding season! 

Family Fun Ride  - CANCELLED 

This is not a Dual Sport ride  however - 

It is a charity event that brings together a lot of the different riding groups for a day of riding and fun
