WIND IN THE P34 presentations and banquets all designed to bring adventure- minded off-road motorcycle enthusiasts together. Like the original Rendezvous, it will draw some of the biggest names and legends in the sport. "The original Rendezvous was known to be a lively, joyous get- together, and the Yankee Fork event will be no different. The fun starts on Friday, September 5, with registration and a 40- mile ride that includes fantastic vistas, a trip to the summit of Ramshorn Mountain (10,926'), and a stop at a couple of Idaho's most iconic mines (Bayhorse and Skylark). At the end, there will be a welcome party and a presenta - tion by a legendary Hall of Fame motorcyclist on his career and life. Saturday will consist of a full day of riding, including long sections of pristine Idaho single- track, challenging two-tracks and backcountry roads. Riders will be treated to an epic lunch next to an alpine lake, Big Bayhorse Lake. The day will end with a reception party and banquet, a chance to swap stories with your fellow rid - ers, and finally, our world-famous Whistledick Awards. For the hard- core riders who can't get enough, Sunday will feature another 40 miles of epic trail, designed to end by noon so everyone can jump on their drive home. "We've been thinking about this event and working on it for over two years. We are very fortunate to have a community like Challis, Idaho, enthusiastically support us. Even more importantly, we have been awarded special-use permits by the U.S. Forest Service and BLM for the event. Like the Motion Pro Nevada 200 Trailride, this will be a bucket-list event." "I've been very fortunate to ride all over Idaho," said Rodney Smith. "I have to say the trails we found near Challis are second to none. More importantly, we want to offer everyone an experience they will remember forever. What happens off the bike at our events is as important as during the ride. Every single one of our guests is treated like an old friend." In addition to legendary names from the sport, the Yankee Fork Rendezvous will also include some of sports most iconic brands. Plan to meet and get to know some of the most iconic companies in powersports, includ - ing Motion Pro, Klim, Rocky Moun- tain ATV/MC, Seat Concepts, Beta Motorcycles, Tacomoto, 100%, Innteck USA and Redline Oil. Entries open May 1, 2025, and will be filled on a first-come, first- served basis. The ride is limited to 150 lucky souls. Entry and event information can be found at www.harden-offroad.com.
