How Does It Work?

What do i need?

  • A street legal motorcycle over 150cc
  • 50/50 tyres at a minimum to reach some of the more difficult locations
  • Essential riding gear for on and light to medium off-road
  • Camping gear or accommodation arranged if staying for both days
  • Smart Phone capable of browsing website
  • Pack some water, obviously

Who can attend?

Anyone on a street legal motorcycle over 150cc can join the event. While attendees are required to be part of a team of at least 2, you are still welcome to come alone and join up with any of the other friendly teams on the day.

F.A.Q.

Your bike must be roadworthy and registered. We recommend at least 250cc motorcycles as some highway riding may be required and your team members wouldn’t want to be slowed down. If your bike can handle highway speeds safely, then it qualifies.

No, for own safety, you will need to ride as part of a group of at least 2 people to compete. You must also always stay with your group for the entirety of the event.

You are welcome to bring them, if they are not riding, there are some great walking and bicycle hire options in the area.

The event organisers have a rescue trailer who can bring your bike back to the camping area or a nearby mechanic if you know one. Response time will depend on availability. There is also a local towing service who have been advised and their contact details are in your event book that you receive on the day.

Not necessarily, while a smaller team may be able to move from point to point with less delays, a large team has more brains to help work out the clues. The team with the biggest advantage will be the one that works together well.

Absolutely. There will be an award for teams from each day as well as an overall award for teams that attend both days.

An optionally included Dinner and Breakfast meal package is available for purchase on registration. The local hotel and Cafe will also be open as another option.

The event is being run out of a recreation ground which has more than enough unpowered camping sites and and some power options available. These camping sites include toilets and showers.

In the local town there are a number of hotels rooms and B&B’s to choose from if you want some a little more luxurious.

This will depend on how bad. A hot day or a bit of rain will just make the event a little more challenging!

If the temperature is expected to reach dangerous levels of heat or storms, then the event will be delayed by 1 week. Anyone unable to attend the following weekend will receive a refund.

GSA Rally are happy to provide refunds up until 14 days before the event starts. After this time the insurance and event materials are printed so refunds will not be available.
