The Main Event March 12 2023 DSBC Spring Ride and Social.

Let's start this thread with a few thanks to the Volunteers and Sponsors. There were so many that helped make this event possible so I know I might have missed a few names, and I am very sorry that if I did miss you, it was not on purpose.

The up-front organizers

Tom Timmerman Dual Sport Routes, Enduro Route

Shane Dumas Adventure Route

The obligatory RIDERS MEETING, this is where we tell sleepy riders what they can expect from the day. They will forget most of what they are told, other than follow the arrows and lunch is back here

The true Adventure Riders, they camp at events, and have campfires they make a weekend out of it

Nothing more encouraging than seeing snow covered dead leaves and branches on a seriously off camber hill

I miss posting here on the DSBC site, it is sooooo much better and easier than FB.

You gotta love Dual Sport riders, no matter how many times they tip over, they get back up smiling.

It was a great day that I have missed for the past three years. Judging by the enthusiasm and attendance (the biggest turnout to date) there is obviously a pent up demand for a simple fun day in the mud.

This is a great video of a hardcore adventure rider on the dual sport loop at the spring ride
