Mark Atwood showing most excellent control in the slow race at Oktober Madness last weekend.
The slow race has been a staple of rallies since the first one. The slow race, limbo, ball drop and other games of these types are activities we encourage all to enter.
It is no coincidence that the winners are also highly confident riders as well. We promote these games because balance, body position and clutch work are the foundations of riding any motorcycle on any surface. Having said this, we’ve yet to encounter a 55 gallon plastic tub on a trail and zig zagging around in a ribbon course doesn’t teach line selection so to us they’re waste of time. 
By design our challenge course is 100% not for everyone. It’s the original big bike trails course and the only one we’re aware of that includes an easy and very difficult entrance / exit to a creek, hill-side single track and other natural and man-made features. We cannot name a rider who has ever cleaned the full course on a large displacement bike. This extends to the barrel race and the hill slalom. For both the confident rider and the spectators it’s quite a ride.
We also offer world class training from Ryan Sipes. Ryan is a professional racer with many victories including the first American to win ISDE Individual Overall.
Many riders come to visit us in March and leave ready to enjoy the rest of the season with more confidence, which means more fun.
We encourage riders to come early or stay late to ride nearby published routes such as the Smokey Mountain 500 and the SEBDR . The SEBDR uses roads we’ve been offering as part of our event for years, the route goes by the entrance to March Moto Madness. Arrangements can be made to leave your equipment on site for a few days before or after MMM. A note to info@ or a pm here can get you started.
Registration for March Moto Madness will open November 1.
