Minnesota 1000

 

25th Annual Minnesota 1000
June 7 - 9, 2019

Join us for the 25th running of the fabled Minnesota 1000 Motorcycle Rally on June 7-9, 2019.

Once again, Motoprimo in Lakeville, MN, will be rally headquarters for the start and finish of the rally.

Check-in will start at 6:00 PM at Motoprimo on Friday, June 7 for the Liars Banquet. At check-in you'll sign a waiver, and receive your your rally swag.

Dinner (BBQ of course!) will be served starting at 6:30 PM. Then at 7:30 we’ll have a rider's meeting to go over some of the basic rules and hand out rally packets. Your rally packet will include printed route sheets, your rally flag and a flash drive containing GPS coordinates in .gdb, .gpx and .txt formats.

There will be two classes: Experienced and Rookie. A Rookie is defined as never having ridden in a 24-hour or multi-day rally before.

You are advised to read and be familiar with the TeamStrange Uniform Rules, and note that one of the rules we will be paying attention to is in Section I, Rule 5. Helmets are required. (Yup, even while riding in the parking lot) Also note that some of the more stringent rules apply only to Butt Lite.

Digital cameras will be needed for this rally and, yes, we will keep your memory card after scoring.

This year's MN1K will be Canada free... However, there will be one bonus that you would need your passport for and it's a big one. If you choose this bonus you will be allowed early departure Friday night at 8:00PM. You won't be required to return to the finish but you will have to prove you collected this bonus before the rally ends. Could it win the rally? That depends on all the other riders and how many points they collect. So if you're inclined to ride harder not smarter and don't mind missing breakfast at MotoPrimo, show up Friday night ready to ride.

Rally staff will be available at Motoprimo starting at 6:30 AM on Saturday for check-in, recording odometers and answering any additional questions. We'll have a continental breakfast for you and a few snacks for the road. You will be free to leave at 8:00 AM on Saturday morning. All riders must return by 7:59:59 AM on Sunday morning. NO grace period, period. If your back at 8:00:00 that’s a DNF. Tough luck Chuck.

Breakfast on Sunday will start at about 8:30 AM. We hope to have scoring completed by 10:00 and award trophies by 10:30 AM.

Trophies will be awarded to the top 5 Riders and also to the top Rookie, and it is possible for a Rookie to earn 2 trophies.

The winner of this year's rally will receive a PAID entry for Butt Lite 10.

The cost for all this fun and adventure? $110 for single and $160 for two-up, with all proceeds donated to Pancreatic Cancer Research. Your entry fee covers two meals, snacks for the road, awesome rally swag, and some great riding.

Sign up on Ride Master, and we'll see you in June!

Registrations must be received by May 24, 2019.
