RawHyde Adventures - Adventure Rider Challenge

Join BMW Santa Cruz for a trip to the 3rd Annual RawHyde Adventure Rider Challenge!

This year's Adventure Rider Challenge is all about "riding", and the challenge will be the rides themselves. California's coastline and the Mojave Desert set the stage for two back-to-back adventure rides that will have you using every bit of your adventure bikes capabilities. The rides will focus on beautiful back country roads and trails which will be equal portions of pavement and dirt. There will be "tough" off road loop segments for those who seek a bit of extra adrenaline, and scenic "pass throughs" for those who prefer to have a less stressful "relaxed ride". Regardless of which route you choose... if you complete the rides, you complete the challenge! (You will get the shirt to prove it!)

This year's Adventure Rider Challenge will showcase the talents of both rider and machine during three days of fun and excitement. Everyone loves an "Arena" style circus and that's what is happening on the competitive side of this year's challenge. An ultimate set of tasks awaits those Adventure riders who want to "test themselves" against both the clock and their fellow riders.

BMW Santa Cruz will be leading a ride to the RawHyde event! It will be a diverse back roads tour through some of the best hills, sweeps and valleys California has to offer. We will have a chase truck available to carry any items you wish, so as to lighten the load of your adventure bike!
