or, Much Ado About Nothing,
or, To GT or Not To GT?
April 1 through November 15, 2025
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more – Henry V
Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot. Take thou what course thou wilt. ― Julius Caesar
TeamStrange Grand Tours are all about having an excuse to get out and ride. In the past, our Grand Tours have also been a little educational, such as the Love & Merci Grand Tour in 2017. So, to have a reason to ride somewhere with the excuse that you’re becoming more cultured while doing it, this year’s Grand Tour will take you to places or people named in the works of William Shakespeare.
Your entry includes a Grand Tour flag and sticker. Entry fee is $50 for one or two up. GT flags and stickers will be mailed around March 15, and thereafter, upon sign up.
Finishing will earn you bragging rights and an Official Grand Tour finisher pin.
There is a minimum required number of locations to visit to be a finisher. You may also visit additional locations to collect points. The top finisher in points will be declared the TeamStrange 2025 Grand Tour Champion and will receive a commemorative plaque to document this amazing feat. We’ll also declare Regional Champions in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the Rest of the World, who will also receive (lesser but still nice) commemorative plaques.
To be a finisher you must visit at least 12 Shakespearean Places between April 1, 2025, and November 15, 2025, whose names match our list of Shakespearean Places, and properly document each visit with a photo of your motorcycle and your rally flag and a sign showing that you are at one of the Shakespearean Places in our list.
Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t. ― Hamlet
