Sweet!

Is it May yet?

Looks like I'll be doing the 200 mile adventure route this year.

ALways a good time!

Nice!

Too bad I can't make it this year

hey Maddy...is this going to be the same route that u guys had last year during the fall...also is the camping cabins still available :)
Rudy

No and no. Last year for the BBA, most everyone camped at White Pines (see below). The previous year, was Prospect Mountain (see below). Both areas have limited cabins available.

I posted the announcement early this year so you all have plenty of time to choose which campground you'll invade!

Anyone know how far the ride to Berkshire from North NJ is?

I think its like a 3 hour drive.

I like the Saturday sign-up option, that will make Sunday morning less hectic.

tell me more about the thumper route. how much trail vs street etc. thanks.

we will when we have it on paper! we have approx. 2 feet of snow on the ground up here. we won't be mapping it until Spring.

Sissies...

will there be a gps download available for my new enduro bike?

Troublemaker.

Rode the first 50 miles of the dualsport route this morning. WOW! What a great ride so far!

Suuuure you did. You convert your DR650 to a snow bike?

Let me guess you did the road part in a truck or the off road ona snowmobile

Trucks work good for this when it's too damn cold. That's what I did a few times during last years BBA route planning phase.
