GOIN' COASTAL - 2025 USCA Rally Registration is OPEN

Many special activities unique to the Maine coast are being planned. Just trying to fit everything into a three day rally is a challenge.
Details on Fairgrounds RV and primitive camping will be forthcoming soon. The fairgrounds administrator retired in December, so we need to confirm with the new manager that agreements and details set up with the retired manager will be honored.
Looking forward to a busy sidecar 2025, see you in Topsham.

I...be...registered for the 2025 USCA National Sidecar Rally, along with my Boss Monkey.
The process for registering was easy peasy, and was done quite well.
Not 100 % certain that the Boss Monkey and I will actually be there, as we have a lot going on this year, with several trips to Europe, etc, etc, etc., oh...and Blah, Blah, & Blah.....but we will always register and support the USCA National Sidecar Rallies.

What about camping and the RV spots at the fair grounds and how early can you arrive.

Aaaahhhh! The mystery of it all...
Illegitemi non carborundum est!
A couple things. I'm Suprise it wasn't on the registration. What you are riding there, if you plan on camping there and where you are coming from.

I agree, those things are important information that most other rallies have included on the registration forms, as it saves the Rallymaster a lot of time afterward, if they can build a Excel spreadsheet in advance, to know....how many people are wanting camping spots ?....how many H-D's, or Hondas, or BMWs, or Ural, or....whatever are going to be there, and...WHO rode or drove the longest distance to get to the rally, and it is also nice to know how many participants we have from each state.
I would find it interesting if we saw that 3 riders from California showed up, or...that no one from Vermont showed up, etc.

Once registered, post up here where you are riding from to the rally so others can join the fun and safety of a caravan. 🤩 😎 🤗

All signed up. 😎
I'm trailering my rig from the Eastern side of Utah (Roosevelt, UT). Haven't picked a route yet (but probably not far off I-80 from Laramie, WY east), and not sure when I'll be heading out. Traveling with a fairly young dog. So there will be lots of stops, and i drive rather slow (think farmer on his John Deere).
The trailer is an open utility trailer with a full bed width of 83" and length of 122" tailgate fully closed. Can handle pretty much any sidecar rig. I'll be carrying basic hand tools & DMM, along with at least a gallon and half fuel container, air compressor, tire repair kit, etc.. So, if someone breaks down along the route, feel free to reach out to me. Email, text or call. Glad to be of assistance if I'm anywhere close.
Not sure if the new E&F will be out by the rally, so here is my contact info:

My plan is to leave Olympia, Washington at the same time and date as someone that is leaving from Mars, Pennsylvania, and to get to the Rally in Topsham, Maine before they do ...because the Martian's be "moseying".
I feel it's only reasonable and respectful to give others a 3,000 miles headstart.
If you see, or possibly just feel, a streak of white lightning pass you by, good probability that it was I.... driving a Pearl White Subaru Outback, towing an all aluminum BearTrack trailer, with the BattleWing Galactica on the trailer..... running.....to assist getting this convoy up and over the Rocky Mountains, then gliding down the eastern side....all the way to the Big Muddy (Mississippi River)
There shall be no stopping...as we shall refuel inflight.

If there is "white lightning" anywhere near said Suby, please keep the sunroof closed. 😉

So, I am new to the USCA and the forum... as well as fairly new to sidecars. I bought a used Kawasaki Concours14 rig last July and did almost 4k miles before it got to be too cold and dark in my off work hours to ride it.
My wife and I are registered for the rally and will be reserving a hotel room for the trip probably tomorrow.
We will be riding the Kawasaki up from Massachusetts; so it is only about a hundred miles or so for us to get there. Looking forward to it!

We'll be moseying our way from Mars, PA (north of Pittsburgh) in the motorhome. Towing a trailer with two rigs, for sure the Goldwing and not for sure on the other one. My bet is on hubby's V-Star rig. Most definitely re-fueling and sightseeing stops along the way.
Planning on camping at the fairgrounds. I sent an email and left a phone message, but no reply yet. I figure after the holidays I'll hear something.
Looking forward to our first national rally!


If you are looking to reserve an RV site for the Rally, call Tommy Rhoades at the Fairgrounds at 1 (207) 440-0286. He is accepting reservations now.

I just made our reservation for a full hook-up site by calling Tommy at 207-440-0286 He said it is his last "Hoo Rah" and he's helping out until the new person takes over. He also said there are plenty of tent sites.
