I checked out this (2006 ride report) event over on Advrider. It looked like a great (wet) time. I'm going to consider the possibility of making the trip. I know it is a little early but anybody have plans to go?

There are a few "challenging" sections, but the ride is design for fun and is for charity.

Bring a big bike like a GS and you will find it challenging. It is mostly dirt roads and trails that are just "fun". Nothing really technical - other than some mud/water roots here and there. >>> NOT an enduro.

I'm planning on putting some knobbie's on my DR650 and come on out for the ride

In what town does this ride start?

[BuckRider]

In what town does this ride start?

Sandisfield, MA (New Boston is the village name). It starts about 1 mile north of the Connecticut border on Route 8 - little Pizza restaurant on the west side of the road.

When you pull into the dirt parking lot, go to your left and you will see a dirt road that heads down to a lower "back" lot. Park down there with everyone else. Registration is inside the restaurant.

[Skidder]

[Skidder]

Just to remind all tomorrow is the ride.
