Is there a hotel in town or close by?
Canton is a rural community with limited hotel options. That said the rooms are at a premium. Jimmy’s Park Hotel (located next to the ride headquarters) has 6 rooms, and there are B&Bs available also. Check our lodging page for details.
What is the difficulty level of this event?
The adventure bike ride portion of this event is comprised of mostly dirt roads and paved secondary roads, thus this is billed as the Fall Tour of the Mountains — this is perfect for riders of all levels and motorcycles — there may be some more “difficult” spots on the route, but work arounds will be available for anyone that wants a less challenging route. This is a great ride for more novice riders that may be thinking about riding the BDR routes but are unsure of their ability to do it.
How can I pay the on-site registration fee?
Cash or check made out to CANTON LIONS CLUB.
What about Route Navigation?
This year’s event will use GPS and Roll Chart Navigation. Roll charts is old school navigation and we feel that it lends itself more to the “Adventure” part of an adventure bike ride.
Roll charts will be provided and if you need a roll chart holder, we will have them on hand to be purchased at sign-up, or go online to purchase yours ahead of time.
The cost of the holder is about $35.00. We also will have 8×10 route sheets available if you don’t want to go with the roll chart.
Also, ALL technical and tricky turns will be marked with course markers. And remember – getting a little lost is part of the adventure!
What about camping?
We have camping, both tent and RV, onsite right behind the ride headquarters, with a short walk to town. There are restrooms and showers. There is no additional fee for this service for registered riders.
