FAQs
How is accommodaction allocated?
For 2024, the base of Rallye Raid Adventure will be the Arminel Hotel.
Placing in the Arminel Hotel will be on a first come first serve basis to the first 80 entrants. After we have filled up the Arminel Hotel, riders will be placed in either the Hogsback Inn, Kings Lodge, May Lodge or The Edge. This placement is at the discretion of Red Cherry Events.
Do I need a GPS?
Yes, unless you choose to stick with a “GPS buddy” i.e a fellow rider who has a GPS. Riders will be given each day’s GPS route from which they navigate. The Garmin Etrex 22 or 10 OR the Garmin Montana come recommended.
What bikes are suitable?
Any street-legal adventure/sporting bike with semi off-road knobblies, as the terrain would be forest roads as well as some single track and gravel.
Can I ride both routes?
Due to the distances we would ride each day you are welcome to do both routes but may run out of time. If you prefer, you can branch off onto the easier route if you want to head back sooner or if the riding becomes a bit tough.
