About Hyder Seek

Since 1998, a small group of long-distance motorcycling enthusiasts has met at the end of May or in early June for dinner in Hyder, Alaska. Hyder Seek 2007 will mark the event's tenth year.  170 riders attended in 2006 - the largest group to-date.

The original event celebrated the culmination of Ron Ayres' 49-state ride. Since then, the Iron Butt Association has instituted a somewhat exclusive "48 States Plus Alaska Award" for riders traveling through all of the 48 contiguous states plus Alaska. Ron will recognize riders who culminate a 49-state ride in Hyder in time for the festivities, and he'll pay for their "Hyderization". Last year, 13 riders celebrated their arrival in Hyder entitling them to the Iron Butt Association's Award.

You certainly do not have to do the 49-state ride to attend Hyder Seek! Riders needing an excuse to make their first trip to Alaska, or repeat Hyderseekers who can't get enough of the beautiful scenery on the way to Hyder, are most welcome to register for Hyder Seek 2007.

Hyder Seek 2007 will take place on May 25 & 26. The fee is $125 per person. Your fee includes two dinners, a nice commemorative shirt, and eligibility for some wonderful door prizes. We're accepting reservations for up to 200 riders, almost as many slots as there are rooms in all of Hyder and Stewart, BC. Please secure your lodging early or plan to sleep with the bears! The deadline for registration is April 1, 2007.
