Due to wet winter and dwindling California revenues, some of the roads researched last spring are literally falling apart. We are therefore adding another town for two of the nights -- Eureka -- and shifting some routes further north. We have a new HQ hotel in Ft. Bragg as well, so please see www.motomarathon.com and update your plans accordingly for the NoCal Motomarathon, Oct. 13-16.
In the meantime, the Aug. 26-29 Colorado Motomarathon is nearly upon us. From the route scientists at Butler Motorcycle Maps, it's leaked out that there just might be a _little dirt _along the way. You don't _have _to ride it and can just skip a checkpoint or so, but, it is rumored to be _smooth _and _uphill _dirt. Multistradas or GS's not required, only the spirit of the motomarathoner:
"I wake up nights in a sweat worried about what the mysterious Routemasters put in the Kool-Aid. I cannot seem to get enough. It's like there is a hidden magnetic pole that tugs us every so gently toward Boulder and other Motomarathon portals...."
