No, last year was about 100 miles or so, and they had a gas stop well within the range of all of the bikes. Dont remember the mileage.

I will be there for the Harescramble (not the dual sport ride).

Not gunna line up anywhere near a day rider this time.

trigger - how much actual road riding was done? The GPS map didn't appear to be much legal road mostly trails and fire roads. I would love to attend this but I haven't got my bike converted yet.

Can anyone give me an idea of how this DS compares in difficulty to Hancock?

Thanks a bunch!

FYI, 6.45 hours from central CT.

I really dont recall, can someone else chime in???? I ride alot so it all kindof starts melting together. BUT,,,, This DS is 100 miles, I remember great single track, and the the hare scramble section was awesome.

To me, any opportunity to ride an organized ride ( that is fairly close to my home) is a no braine, whether its 10% road or 60% road.

easier, does not have the long uphill ( and downhill) dry rock streams

Thanks, trigger03!

My partner and I are keeping an eye on the weather and hope to get up there.

Well me and about 15 others showed up to ride the Dual Sport.

What a great ride it was today!!! With LOTS of NEW trail; much better than last year's ( http://rochesternet.com/rides/Jasper5-22-05/ ).

It's nice having riding opportunites close to home. I hope today's pathetic rider turn out doesn't discourage them from putting on future rides.
