    From that video, I see that some are running hard panniers and some not. What worked better, do you think?

    I barely remember any real road from last year. My memory is of one essentially endless 400km water crossing. :thumb

    Ok, I'm exaggerating...but it was WET!! Very similar to the absolutely sodden Paris-Dacre run from 2010. Still a grand ride, looking forward to this version!

    On the section I laid out, no subs required.

    You'll have to check with Ted and Flanny about the rest of the course. :D

    Add me to the list, hopefully the stand by's will be able to join in. I don't want Packmule to cross the boarder alone, he may not find his way home.:evil

    If I'm still in the east or can co-ordinate with the trip for load #2, I'd be very interested to join in the fun.

    Drft10's a big goober but his routes in the area are funtastic. :nod

    At least not without bail money. :lol3


    And EC, no. I didn't ride this year (much). Looking to rectify that in 2012. :norton

    Lots of interest this year, we are going to do our best to expand the 60 number to 80 or 100. Its only the accomodations that limit us but we are working on it :thumb

    Looking forward to riding with everyone in the spring (familiar faces and new ones) :freaky

    I'm not on the list for this ride but can you give me the co-ordinates of this trail if it's not top secret for the actual ride. I'd like to add it to my 'places to ride' list.
