The 2010 IAMC Challenge provides an exciting way for adventure riders of all levels to explore the Idaho outdoors. As a newcomer to dual sport riding, I view the Challenge as a good encouragement to get to know the surrounding country, by bike and myself.
So now you have that new or at least new to you dual sport motorcycle and are just itching to go on a great adventure into the wilds of our backyard…the Owyhee’s! Well let’s put this in perspective, how many are aware that the county of Owyhee is 7,697 square miles that in itself is nearly the size of the state of Massachusetts at 10,555 square miles, and Owyhee barely has a population of over 10,000, so I guess you wonder where I’m going with this?
During the 2014 calendar year, 30 club members signed up to participate in the 2014 IAMC Challenge, and19 participated by visiting at least one or more of the 45 sites. This past year the Challenge sites comprised mainly fire lookouts with some interesting water falls and lakes thrown in for variety. There were actually 42 fixed physical sites to visit with two others that were variable (picture of your bike in the snow and a water crossing).
