17, Dawn 2 Dusk Rally, Markham, ON
Here at Canada Moto Rallies we are loving the resurgence of the small motorcycle and the market that it opens up for both new and existing riders. Although these bikes make great commuters thanks to their cheaper operating costs and fun factor, they can do so much more and are perfectly suited to a long day’s ride… So why not do that through some gorgeous back roads—with the challenge to complete the ride within daylight hours—the riders hitting the road shortly after dawn and returning before dusk.
The Dawn 2 Dusk (D2D) rally is designed to focus on the 125cc to 500cc class motorcycles and scooters with a route that takes riders on an adventurous, picturesque and memorable loop while celebrating just how usable and fun small capacity motorcycles are.
There will be one main route of approximately 600km with an additional gravel section for any dual-sport motorcycles present. Guidance is by GPS (file will be emailed the week before) or by detailed maps.
Riders meeting and kick-off begins at 6:00am, the last riders would depart by 7:00am (smaller bikes first) and will have their odometers checked to confirm distance upon return at dusk. Rider banquet is to start at 8:00pm and presentations are at 8:30pm.
Registration: At Honda Canada Head Office, 180 Honda Blvd., Markham ON. Riders Meeting and sendoff at 6:00am June 17, 2017. Registration fee is $99 including HST.

17, Dawn 2 Dusk Rally, Markham, ON
Here at Canada Moto Rallies we are loving the resurgence of the small motorcycle and the market that it opens up for both new and existing riders. Although these bikes make great commuters thanks to their cheaper operating costs and fun factor, they can do so much more and are perfectly suited to a long day’s ride… So why not do that through some gorgeous back roads—with the challenge to complete the ride within daylight hours—the riders hitting the road shortly after dawn and returning before dusk.
The Dawn 2 Dusk (D2D) rally is designed to focus on the 125cc to 500cc class motorcycles and scooters with a route that takes riders on an adventurous, picturesque and memorable loop while celebrating just how usable and fun small capacity motorcycles are.
There will be one main route of approximately 600km with an additional gravel section for any dual-sport motorcycles present. Guidance is by GPS (file will be emailed the week before) or by detailed maps.
Riders meeting and kick-off begins at 6:00am, the last riders would depart by 7:00am (smaller bikes first) and will have their odometers checked to confirm distance upon return at dusk. Rider banquet is to start at 8:00pm and presentations are at 8:30pm.
Registration: At Honda Canada Head Office, 180 Honda Blvd., Markham ON. Riders Meeting and sendoff at 6:00am June 17, 2017. Registration fee is $99 including HST.
