ure, the live entertainment, con- tests, races, and crowds are part of what makes a rally fun but the real
reason behind it all is for the riding! So, gas up, polish off the grime and get yourself comfortable on 2 or 3 wheels and join us for any or all of the gypsy tours and charity rides throughout the rally! You’re bound to make new friends along the way and maybe even benefit a local chari- ty while having a great time racking up the miles!
