The Challenge

    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 2-300 miles from the start, while collecting bonus points. The rider will then head back to the start collecting points along the way. The route will be the riders decision while picking up bonus points along the way. The Start Point, Middle Check Point and End Point is all that is required to be considered a finisher and earn a patch but 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.
