TABLE OF CONTENTS - STREET ROUTES

Routes are numbered and listed in order of total distance from Rally HQ. There are no highway focused routes, all of these are technical or twisty, mountain roads and should be ridden as such. There are, however, a few routes where a faster option is included to get further from the home base. All routes have designated lunch/fuel stops but often there are other options along the route if the selected stop is not hitting the spot. Files have been created containing both routes and tracks.

03. BACKROAD BONANZA 187

187 MILES | 5-6 HOURS | CLOCKWISE | TECHNICAL

S03-Dillard-Backroad_Bonanza_187

A route built for riders who prefer character over notoriety. This loop avoids the headline roads and instead dives deep into lesser‑known connectors, tucked‑away valleys, and quiet mountain pavement that rewards curiosity and confident pacing.

Highlights include remote stretches through Fires Creek, Wayah Road, and the back sides of familiar regions—often seen, but rarely ridden like this.

More intricate than fast and more immersive than iconic, Backroad Bonanza delivers exactly what its name promises: a full day packed with variety, flow, and discovery. It’s an excellent choice for riders who’ve “done the famous stuff” and are ready to explore what lies between it.

11. PRETTY PLACE PLUS 271

The surrounding sections through forested valleys and ridgelines maintain a smooth, steady rhythm before and after this landmark moment.

Beyond the chapel, the route continues through waterfall corridors and quiet backroads, creating a ride that feels expansive without becoming overwhelming.

315 MILES | 8 TO 9 HOURS | COUNTERCLOCKWISE |TWISTY

S12-Dillard-Little_Switz_BRP_Tour_315

Less technical overall this route is a sweeping loop built around elevation, variety, and classic mountain road character.
