Any suggestions...or takeaways from previous rides.

Looking forward to it! Like previously mentioned, the less tarmac the better and not against some more technical sections that will challenge my DR650!
BIG NEWS - This event is back on!
This will be a Trailforks event and the route will be loaded up on Trailforks June 1, you can use the app to Nav or download the gpx to use on your own GPS.
I will not be leading a mass group, recommended groups of 5, the registration will be limited to 25. Five people for each cabin that sleeps 20 so we are well social distanced. Camp Chef will put out buffet BBQ dinner Saturday and breakfast Sunday as well as a Make your own lunch station.

I'm stoked to see DSBC doing this event and hopefully future ones this summer.
I as well would like to know what full range is and if we need to register to get the GPX since that would help me figure out fuel.
As well do you need to be a DSBC member for this event cus if you do, I've been wanting to join this year and regardless please let me know how to become a 2020 DSBC member?
I have very little to look forward to this summer and this might be one of the few things so thanks.

OK, I will try to answer these questions and prevent a few more hopefully.
This is a social ride and any proceeds after costs go to support at risk youth to attend summer camp
Cost is $150 (you must be a DualsportBC member to participate in DualsportBC events, https://forum.dualsportbc.com/pages/membership/)
Includes;
Bbq Dinner Saturday with 2 drinks (Soda/Beer)
Bunkhouses sleep 14 plus, they will be limited to 5 bottom bunks this season, mattress is high quality foam not thin foamies; Bedding/pillow (Sleeping Bag) is your responsibility.
There are Hot Showers and a gorgeous lake to swim.
Breakfast is provided
A build your own lunch buffet will be provided at breakfast for Sundays lunch.
The ROUTE/RIDE....
NOT a lead ride, you are encouraged to make groups of about 5 or less riders (sense a group size here?) That means about 5 groups. The route will be published on June 1, we will be amending depending on snow levels so can not release it now.
Gas - You hopefully will need enough fuel to go from....
Harrison to Boston Bar
Boston Bar to to Princeton
Princeton to Silver Lake (Peachland)
and reverse.
Route via Trailforks - This app is very good and has tons of features, I am adding overland ADV/Dualsport routes to it, the route for this event will be published in Trailforks under the Events setting on June 1. You can download the GPX to your own GPS if you want.
This is big bike doable, I changed this language from Bike Bike friendly because there are a few technical sections so plan your riding group accordingly. 650 and smaller with C+ skill should be fine. Watch some Kookipi videos that show the climb to the summit from west to east, this will be a good measure of the more difficult sections form bigger bikes.

I think the biggest stretch is Harrison to Boston Bar. Fuel up there , then Tulameen or Princeton for the next, to get to destination.
If my thirsty 990 can make it so can you. No need to pack fuel.
