The Giant Loop Ride is gearing up for its 15th annual event, scheduled for May 28-31. Despite recent management changes, the rally maintains its core mission of "Go Light, Go Fast, Go Far," inviting riders to Crane Hot Springs for an adventure-filled weekend.
This event is open to any licensed off-road motorcycle, regardless of brand, and offers a variety of routes designed for both novice and advanced riders. Participants can expect long, scenic journeys across two-track trails, gravel roads, dry lake beds, and sandy sections, all tailored to accommodate different bike sizes and ensure a thrilling experience for everyone.
Crane Hot Springs serves as the basecamp, providing a perfect spot to relax and recover after a day of riding amidst the Alvord Desert panoramas and Steen Mountain challenges. The rally also features on-site bike demos, a vendors' area for gear and equipment, rider skill development clinics, presentations, raffles, and giveaways.
Registration includes dry camping, with options to upgrade to RV hookups, cabins, or teepees available for an additional fee. These premium accommodations are limited and tend to sell out fast, as does the event itself. Riders interested in attending should register promptly to secure their spot at this popular off-road gathering.
