AMERICAN MOTORCYCLIST MARCH 2019

Schedules Out For Dual Sport, Adventure Series

Enjoy Backroads, Trails, Challenges In 2019

Riders who enjoy a mix of on-road and off-road riding will have 30 opportunities to take part in AMA-sanctioned dual sport or adventure riding events in 2019.

For riders who enjoy smaller on-road/off-road motorcycles, the Beta AMA National Dual Sport Series combines on-highway riding with off-highway exploration.

The KTM AMA National Adventure Riding Series offers two-day events with challenging rides and activities that typically include bonfires, camping and food.

Participants of each series are automatically eligible to win prizes. The grand prize in the Beta AMA National Dual Sport series is a new Beta motorcycle, and KTM AMA National Adventure Riding Series participants could win an all-expense-paid trip to the 2020 KTM Adventure Rider Rally.

Some events are open to riders of all skill levels, while others are recommended for experienced riders only. Check with each event organizer to learn what skill level is recommended for their event.
