ctoogood 15 Posted March 17, 2022 Would you consider this a big Bike ride or more for a smaller plated bike like a 350 or 500?? Thanks for putting this event on!! Cheers, Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 573 Posted March 17, 2022 It is big bike friendly. Not any really technical sections, so larger bikes and newbies will benefit from the route layout. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctoogood 15 Posted March 17, 2022 Great. Thank you!! I look forward to it. Cheers, Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motoed 1 Posted March 17, 2022 Perfect bike would be a KLR650, DR650 or XR650L, that said, big bikes will be fine. Smaller bikes that can run down the highway at 55 mph should be good. The dirt will not be that challenging, so pick your bike accordingly. It will be a long day, so it should be comfortable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctoogood 15 Posted March 18, 2022 Haha. Got it and Thank you everyone's for your input. I'll dust off the KLR 650 and ride it proudly. I'm thinking I'll strap on all my camping gear too and make it an adventure ride. In fact how do you sign up for tent camping at Pico Pio? SP? Or do we just show up?

Cheers, Chris There is enough space for 20 tent campers to set up, already reserved and it is free. If you have a RV or something like that, you will have to pay and reserve your own space.

ctoogood 15 Posted March 18, 2022 Thank you Dirt Dame. So are the 20 spots first come first serve or can we sign up for them? Looks like a nice place. I've ridden by there many times but have never stopped. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 533 Posted March 18, 2022 We really don't think there will be many people camping overnight since the next day Monday is a work day. You'll probably be fine. But then again, we may add a line on the entry form to reserve a tent spot so we have an idea of how many people plan on camping in a tent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1114 Posted March 18, 2022 Route was pre ridden on a 1250 and a 1290. If you can navigate some rain ruts you will be fine. It’s an adventure bike course as opposed to a single track. Anyone one who rides there dual sport off road with camp gear should be able to handle the route fully loaded. disclaimer: everything changes with time and weather. And if it gets tough you can easily bail out to pavement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 925 Posted March 18, 2022 It’s scooter navigable. Maybe my Trail 90 will be ready? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
