Mmmm... You missed it, didn't you? It's coming...
Can you feel it?... Are you ready?...
Just thinking about makes you smile, doesn't it?...
It's time to pull out your knobby's...
Clean 'em up, and get 'em ready to ride the damp, soft, succulent soil of spring.
Come on out to Williams Lake and experience some of the finest trails British Columbia has to offer. The Dirty Knobby weekend is a family weekend that has plenty of events to keep everyone happy.
If you're new to riding, or just wanting to refresh your riding skills there are riding clinic's to show you the do's and don't's of trail riding. Learn about safety, proper riding gear, how to handle natures riding challenges,and brush up on the Rider Code of Ethics.
The Dirty Knobby Poker Ride has four levels from Pee-wee to Masters. So, no matter what your skill level is, you can join this event. Grab your buddy, and head to these hills, you won't be disappointed. Who knows, you may even win a trophy.
The Williams Lake Off Road Motorcycle Association will be holding a Swap Meet at the "pits". If you have something you don't need, or you don't use anymore, bring it along. For a 10% commission you can add it to the "goodies" to be sold.
Saturday Night is movie night.
Come out and watch (you like to watch, don't you?) one of the most Extreme Enduro days in the world!
Filmed in Erzberg - Austria, this is a Big Screen "Jaw Dropping" production of the
The Enduro at Erzberg - The Polish Hat Trick (released March 2010).
Over 1500 riders (less than 20 will finish!)from all over the world, take on the challenge of an open pit mine known as
the "Iron Giant".
This is an adventure film for people of all ages.
After, it's time for the adults to unwind, release and eat. So head over to the Overlander Pub wearing your jersey
and take in the Steak Dinner Special .
And, there's no cover charge if your wearing your jersey.
Sunday offers up a Family Day, a Guided Ride, and even a Dual Sport Ride for those who want it all.
Please note that our "pit" location has changed slightly... The new "pit" offers more event area and it is only 2 KM east of the previous area... still located on the Mountain House Road. Signs will be posted, so you will be sure to find us!
Now, if you really want to enjoy the weekend outdoors, there is some camping / RV spots available nearby. Even more now at the new site, however, space is still limited, so first come...
