thanks, that sounds like a great idea. I have no extra equipment/gear like a tank bag, I'm new.

Right down to the wire....

Event registration and cheque sent out this morning. Hopefully, it will arrive in time.

Feeling a little cocky at the moment and am hoping to ride the KLR on the B route.

Unless your an expert expert rider I would not advise the B loop on a KLR

That's right, give it a try! Anyone with some off road experience 'looking for a challenge' should attempt the B route, depending somewhat on what bike you ride. We've seen many KLR's, DR650's, GS650's and of course KTM 640's, 950's and Super Enduros on B trails. Bring a riding buddy to help push through tough spots and to help pick up your bike. Bring both route sheets, if it's too tough then switch to C.

Yes. :)

As long as the email address you provided on your registration form is legible, you will receive gps tracks and roll charts to print out and bring to the event about a week beforehand.

Note to all - Roll charts and maps are not provided at the event.

I was told that there are maps of each individual route on your website. So far I haven't found anything that looks like a route map. Has it been posted on the website yet?

We don't post our route sheets publicly. Route sheets are for participants only.

A week before the event I will email out roll charts and gps tracks for all routes to all paid participants. You will print off a roll chart for the route you are riding (or for all routes if you are undecided) and/or download tracks to your gps, and bring it with you to the event.

Note: Route sheets will not be available at event.

You mention route sheets. I don't have any way of reading roll charts. Will there be sheets?

Be happy, Chris

Sorry about the confusion.

Route sheets / roll charts are the same thing.

You will print out the route sheets. 8 1/2 X 11"

Use as is, in a tank bag map pocket or large ziplock bag.

Or cut into strips and load into a roll chart holder if you have one.

Either way, it works the same. :)

Unfortunately Mrs Hopper won't be able to make it this year due to scheduled time-off conflict at her workplace.... I guess she'll still get a T-shirt out of the deal if nothing else...

While flagging A+B routes Nick took his KLR on the B route with Loz and me.He had highway gears and highway tires. It was just like Fooseball...Spin-To-Win!!! I was impressed.
