TOURATECH RALLY 2023

Don't let the bad picture deter you from attending the Touratech Rally event in Plain Washington. It's one of my favorite events of the year. The riding is great, for big bikes and small bikes. The vendors are pretty cool and the planned activities are very fun.

I usually haul my bikes down and setup up a fun camp with a few friends. We like to meet new people, go riding for a few hours and have a few drinks.

Sugar loaf and Chihuahua are my favorite rides, but there is plenty of other trails to explore.  

They offer daily guided rides depending on skill level, but If you're not a people person this is also a great event for you. This is the perfect setup to go solo riding. They have rescue vehicles and medical personnel available, plus a few hundred riders in the area, help is close by.

I know price is a bit steep, but I think it’s worth it. If you want to go cheap, there’s nothing from stopping you or a few friends from camping close by and hitting the trails. You won’t get access to the event, but you can still hang out with riders and get some of those safety elements I mentioned.

If you are into ADV riding, you should definitely go at least once. Find people that you click with, have a fun time talking shop and go riding.
