JonnyRides Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 SO I heard summer is the best time for this as it is about as tolerable for beginners as can be. I want to take a couple of new riders as well as do the ride myself. Looking for any pointers, tips, or possible ways to stay on the dirt as much as possible.

HeavyHustler Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Do you have the GPX files for the route? Or are you tracking the sun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRides Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Honestly either way would be great haha, GPX or getting lost but heading in the correct direction, as long as the sun is setting on my right I think it would be good haha I would however appreciate the files 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss118 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 We're doing this from North to South the last 2 weeks in July. We'll be running pretty light, 3x990's, 1x1190, & 1xHonda AT. We'll be carrying our camping stuff, camping most of the way, grabbing a room when we get too rank etc. I have a few sets of gpx files from various spots around the interwebs and other forums. I'm generally a Klim Badlands setup, but given the heat and majority of this is offroad I'm thinking my Leatt Airfit and a jersey will be the plan. The Badlands does not pack down at all, so I'm thinking of a packable rain jacket like the Scott Ergonomic DP Rain Jacket. My only concern is the 3000km blast back home will be mainly on pavement and I would prefer more abrasion resistance. Given that the CDR will be a decent paced affair, I could just stick with the Klim and it does move enough air as long as I stay moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyHustler Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 How long do you think this will take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss118 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 We're planning on 9 days down and 4-5 days back. Total distance is around 7,000km give or take a few hundred. Back will all be secondary highways. Down will be the CDR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
