The “Little Bear Motorcycle Challenge” is intended to get the average distance rider on a long distance ride. This is a 500+ mile motorcycle challenge - twisting and turning through the best roads to a check point 200-300 miles from the start. The rider will collect points along the way on the way there and back to the start. The route will be the rider's decision, while picking up as many bonus points along the way as possible. The start point, middle check point and end point are all that is required to be considered a finisher and earn a patch. The rider that collected the most points along his/her route will be the winner. Simply take a picture with your supplied numbered flag at a bonus point, e-mail your picture with required bonus info to LittlebearMCchallenge@gmail.com and get to the next bonus point. Follow the bonus instructions for each bonus point. The bonus packet will give a location, coordinates of bonus, picture, instructions for bonus pictures, bonus code and point value for each bonus. The first, middle and last check points MUST have correct pictures according to instructions to be considered a finisher and receive a riders patch.

 

The ride will start at 6AM, September 30th,2023 at Classic American Thunder Cycle, 26527 SR62, Beloit, Ohio. The riders will have 14 Hrs to complete the ride from the start to the middle check point and back. How the rider chooses to route and plan for bonus points is up to the rider. No riders can finish before 5 PM. After 8 PM on September 30th, riders will have points deducted until 8:30pm when they will be eliminated. Riders must complete the instructions properly to earn bonus points. Pictures with-out riders flags, or wrong locations, will not be considered for bonus points.
