We are excited to be hosting our third Ontario BMW GS Challenge. 2015 is a qualification year for the 2016 WORLD BMW GS TROPHY. The winner of the Ontario event will join who wins Montreal, Alberta and a journalist to form the team representing Canada at the 2016 World Trophy.
The GS Challenge is a fun filled rally event for all brands of motorcycles. To win on Sunday you must own a BMW and be an amateur status rider. The GS Challenge is not for professional riders. Lawrence Hacking can participate but, he can’t win.
Saturday is the start of the challenge event. Participants will ride some of the best paved country roads in Ontario. The rally route will tour to some of the great local scenic attractions. There will be fun tests all along the way and many are not riding skill assessments. You will have a Rally Book which you have to get stamped after reaching various destinations and completing fun activities.
Sunday is much harder off road riding challenges that will test rider and machine.
Come out and enjoy great roads and trails, fantastic food and accommodations, fun events and meeting new riders. For more information and registration contact us at [email protected] or ask your local Ontario BMW Motorrad Dealer.
