Registration for the 37th Annual Michaux Dual Sport opens on Wednesday May 14th at 8pm!

We LOVE this event. It's an amazing ride through pictaresque Michaux State Forest that is typically off limits to motorcycles.

Thanks to the event's excellent reputation and history, the Michaux Dual Sport typically sells out in minutes, so here are some tips to ensure that you're all set for when the clock strikes 8:00pm ET on Wednesday.

Here's what our registration form looks like. Pro tip: use a web browser with autofill for quicker data entry!

We ask for general rider info first, and if use a browser with autofill, your computer or phone will typically drop this information in for you!
Make sure you type your email correctly. You'd be surprised how many typos we get in the email field! All subsequent info will be sent through this email and we want you to be all set up for success!
Please also triple check the emergency contact name and number!
Here's a look at what the sign up page asks for:

Know your bike info and have your license plate number handy!

This ride is for legally plated and registered street-legal bikes ONLY.
Because of this, we ask you for your bike year, make, model AND license plate info.
If this changes prior to the dual sport, just send us a message and we'll edit it for you - but this is a big part of our commitment to the DCNR and we ask this info so that we can help ensure the bikes that are riding our event comply with regulations.
Here's a look at how we ask this question:

Have decided whether you're primitive camping or bringing an RV and want some hookups!

Primitive camping at the Shippensburg Fairgrounds is INCLUDED!
There are showers!
However, if you're bringing the old motorhome, you might want to reserve one of our limited spaces with electric and water hookups. This comes at a cost that is paid directly to the fairgrounds and is $40/night. You can choose Friday night, Saturday night, or both!
Here's what that info looks like on the registration page:

Consider hanging out with us on Sunday!

Did you know that DVTR hikes all of the trails we use in the dual sport on the very next day in order to remediate them?
We have to rake in all of the berms and remove cupping and rebuild water bars!
It's a pretty fun time - and more help makes it super quick! Most folks will hike part of a trail from 9am - 1pm on Sunday - and we'd love it if you considered getting more info about joining us for remediation!

Lastly - and most important - know your PayPal login info!

Be sure you can sign into your PayPal in order to complete your registration. Payment is only accepted through PayPal.
Don't have an account? Make one! Or borrow a friend's!
Folks vehemently against PayPal have successfully completed their transaction as a "Guest" in the past, but we encourage you to just have your PayPal info ready so you're not sweating this last step!

Miss out on signup?

This happens! DCNR limits our rider numbers, so it can feel like a mad dash to be one of the 300. Maybe you get stuck in traffic, your computer dies, or the buddy that promised he'd sign up for you forgets! Or maybe you're thirty seconds too slow before it sells out! We're so sorry that sign up can feel this way, but we have some things set up for you to get as many people riding this event as we can!

Once we sell out, the registration form will point you to the Del Val Facebook group. Join up and check the group regularly for registration transfer opportunities. As the event draws near, there are always a few registered riders that cannot make it and are looking to find a new home for their ticket. We will have a registration transfer form to make the process as pain free as possible!

P.S. the direct link to registration is here or you can get to the link to registration by heading to the Michaux Dual Sport event page on our website!
