WDO Challenge 2020 Mission Statement: The WDO Challenge is held to encourage riding your Ducati and participating in the Ducati community. Challenge Guidelines: This is a merit-based challenge, with prizes being awarded to the top points earners. Guidelines on how to earn points are listed below, you must be a dues-paying member in good standing to qualify. Prizes will be awarded to the top 8 points earners with First Place being added to the WDO plaque at MotoUnion. The Challenge Coordinator will keep a running total of each member’s points. There are four ways to earn points: WDO Meetings – 8 points possible Ducati Dinner Rides - 5 points possible Motorcycle Social Events - 3 points possible Scavenger Hunt – 25 points possible WDO Meetings are typically held on the 2nd Saturday of the month at MotoUnion 3:15pm. Exceptions apply but specific dates, times and locations are in the calendar at WisconsinDesmoOwners.com Be sure to write your name legibly in the WDO Ducati book for meeting credit. Ducati Dinner Rides will leave following the monthly meeting from MotoUnion unless otherwise noted, typically kickstands up at 3:30pm. A point is earned for each Ducati on the ride. (A Ducati includes any bike that has a Ducati engine or frame.) It is not necessary to participate in dinner, although it is kind of the idea. Ducati Dinner Rides give us the opportunity to ride in a group and experience scenery around SE Wisconsin. Restaurants are chosen for their proximity to good roads and ability to handle our group for parking and seating. Be sure to write your name legibly in the WDO Ducati book for ride credit. A Google map of the restaurants with website and additional information is available here: http://www.wisconsindesmoowners.com/Home/map Note: if you get a message asking for permission, log out of any Google account to proceed.

Scavenger Hunt is just what it sounds like, go hunt for each of these locations and take a picture of yourself with a motorcycle in front of the location. It must be clear that you are at the location by using an obvious landmark or sign at the site. The Google Map has pointers for each photo op. File photos from previous visits will not be allowed, the intent is to visit the site on your Ducati in 2020, however non-Ducati motorcycle photos will be allowed. Locations were chosen for being interesting Wisconsin landmarks, places with tours or relatively near good roads. Points for the Scavenger Hunt will be tallied by sending an email to The Challenge Coordinator here: Challenge@WisconsinDesmoOwners.com with the name of the location, your name, a picture of you with the bike at the location and the date you were there. Please send your photos in a timely manner after they are taken. Entries must be submitted by December 1, 2020. Accommodations will be made for those who do not have the ability to submit digital photos.
