covid RIDE 2021

Going to have another “covid RIDE” this year. Almost the same route, with a few changes. Still going to be a small bike route. Looking at May 8th. Just a one day ride will start at Saddlerock cafe in Counsel Grove. Should be about 140 miles total with a fuel/lunch stop in Strong City.  Anyone is welcome to come, if you want to ride a big bike, please know how to ride in on minimum maintenance roads, as this route will have as many as I can find. As we get closer to the ride date, I’ll post any changes. 

I'm gonna request off work for this, hopefully I'll be up for it.
Ride safe,
Jack

That will be great, your going to take which bike? The DR ?

The KTM for sure. Haven't gotten to ride it as much as I'd like. The more technical the riding the better I like being on it. I sold the DR350 awhile back.

This was great fun last year – everybody'd been holed up for 3 months and looking for some reason to get out...I think we had 18 riders? And that was with just about everything still locked down in Morris County. Saddlerock opened up and fed us outside- another reason I love riding Council Grove. I called BGs last week and everythign is open now... new brewery has also opened downtown.  Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the info Dane look forward another great ride this year. I think we will have more riders.

I'll try to make it unless you're going to eject me for 800cc

The 690 likes minimum maintenance roads. It's a bit early for me to fully commit, but I have this on my calendar. I've been hunkered down for way to long. This sounds like a fun ride.

As long as your below 801cc’s, your good. Just kidding. I don’t see a problem.

I am planning on coming up the night before and camping at the lake, if anybody wants to split a camp site.

I'll be there in my RV if you want to stay with me Nick, if you want to tent, I get that too.

That works too. Ill bring my gear and wing it one way or the other.

Three of us camped on the west side of the lake at santa fe campground, there are three open campsites next door if anybody is looking for a place.

Big thanks to Mark B Great route and Great weather.
The big Bike Worked first time out go Big Red Honda.

We had 19 riders and just about the best weather that you could want! About half the group were 'big bikes' (>500cc).

Excellent loop with as much minimum maintenance as could be found, thanks for putting the route together!

No mishaps or injuries just a few normal bike naps, and we were able to welcome a brand new rider to dual sport!
