Get Lost: Find Yourself 2023

“Get Lost…Find Yourself” 

Adventure and Dualsport Motorcycle camping weekend.

Critter Moto is excited to announce the first annual “Get Lost…Find Yourself” Adventure & Dualsport Motorcycle campout, taking place September 15-17, 2023 on beautiful northern Vancouver Island. This event is a charity fundraiser for HeadsUpGuys.org.

HeadsUpGuys, a program of the University of British Columbia (UBC), is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and support for Men’s Mental Health.

The campout promises to be an exciting and memorable experience for all attendees, offering a weekend of camping, riding, and camaraderie with like-minded individuals. Friday is check-in day, and participants will have the opportunity to set up their campsites and mingle with fellow riders. On Saturday, we will begin the day with a delicious pancake breakfast before embarking on an unforgettable day of self guided riding. After exploring the rugged terrain and picturesque vistas of the surrounding area, riders will return to camp for a mouth-watering BBQ burger dinner followed by raffles and draws for amazing prizes. Sunday is pack-up day, as attendees say goodbye to new friends and memories that will last

Ways to Support Craig

A good day on the trail turns into a long night of work. Cards to back up, footage to cut, uploads crawling over whatever signal a small town can spare. Behind that sit the subscriptions, the drives, the fuel and a lot of gas station coffee.

It all runs on donations now. If any of this has saved you a wrong turn or got you out the door, you decide what that was worth. Not everyone can chip in, and that's fine. If you can, it goes straight back into the road.
