At this time there are no women registered but there was two last year. There are multiple cabins so there is a cabin that can be designated for the ladies if you dont want to bunk with a bunch of guys.

Is a master list of riders that are attending going to be posted and then we can sort out riding groups and starting meeting points?
Yes, I will out something together end of this week/weekend that gives you almost two weeks to plane groups, I think about half the folks are already linked2 up. The routes will be available see and download through trailforks app on June 1.
In fact I will cross post this to the FB only users as well.... can any groups please list the riders they already are teamed up with (dont repeat the group if somebody already posted (Your name)
I would go first but... I can't ride ;(

I don't think my old Garmin 60cs is trailforks app friendly.
Will there be a gpx file available also?
Yes, on Trailforks.com you can download it when it is published via gpx, kml, etc. I will message all when it is posted.

whoo hoo! looks like I've snuck in for this ride. As Lagbc has suggested, weather depending, I also will be camping up in the nahatlach somewhere on the friday night (though approaching from the north). Any others? as the bears are quite hungry this time of year and they could quite likely have no trouble eating more than 2 of us...

Question for all the experts out there. I have my next set of tires (kenda k270) but I would like to finish off my old tires (kenda k760) on the too long days. I think they will make another 1000 km, but not sure how these soft tires hold up on a 500 km day. I’m leaning towards changing them as most of the flats I have gotten in trucks on gravel have been when tires are getting worn out.

Its really up to you if saving 10 bucks worth of rubber is worth ruining a weekend ride.
BTW those Kendas dont look that bad to me, but its your call
I would ride those tires just carry a spare tube, I would offer to help fix a flat but I can't even ride right now ;( I'll see you up at the camp though, if you want to drop the new rubber off in Abby I will haul it up and you can change it there if you want.

I'm in the same boat, I got an E07 rear near end of life on the bike. I usually change them out if going to an event, so now I have about 3 tires sitting around with some life left in them, but they never manage to go back on the bike to get finished off.
I think this time I will put on the new Rally Star E12 rubber for the ride then swap it back to the E07 after the weekend to finish off the remaining tread in town.
