ABOUT US

Since 2003 The Puget Sound Dualsport Enthusiasts have hosted rides and events throughout Washington State. Our rides are monthly from Spring into early Fall and include all the great places to ride from the Olympic Peninsula, into the Cascades and beyond. Today we have more than 700 list members.

This is a dualsport crowd and routes are typically evenly divided between gravel and paved roads. A good 80/20 or 90/10 dual sport tire is recommended since there’s almost always some highway riding involved along the routes. All participants are usually provided with a map of the route so they can travel at their own pace instead of in a pack of dust if you choose not to. At times there are GPS docents on the ride who have the route in onboard in their GPS making it easier for others to locate critical turn points and to sweep the route at the end. As often as possible we pre-ride a route a week in advance of the ride date.

All sizes of dualsports are encouraged to attend our rides and events. And although all main routes are on pavement and gravel, often we provide single track options to those wishing to incorporate some of that into their day.

Past rides have included Jack Pass, Quilcene to Sequim, Lake Wynoochee, Mt. Rainier and Colockum Pass just to name a few. Be sure to join our mailing list so you know when rides are happening and are apprised of updates.

It’s free to join the list and there’s typically no charge for rides. But it does take money to operate and that is made by way of our annual poker run, overnight events, our annual rally held each summer in the Columbia River Gorge and the sale of maps which you can buy in the event you can’t make a ride on the day it’s scheduled.
