I can't wait!!!:ride: :banana:

How difficult a rating would you give this ride?

how long is it in miles and time?

The ride will be approx. 90 miles +/- with a lunch/gas around 45 miles. Total ride time should end around 2:30. The gas will be at the start, so bring a gas can. We try to make our rides challenging, yet 100% rideable. We offer a variety of single track, and faster sections to make a ride enjoyable for both beginners and advanced riders. This is not the hardest DS, but it is challenging. Lots of trail.


Not sure if these links from ktmtalk.com will work, but below are a few video clips a rider from the 2008 ride recorded. Thanks again for the video Mack.

Just as a clarification...Total ride time should end around 2:30 That means beginning at 10:00am and ending at 2:30pm (not 2-1/2 hours of riding). Lunch will be served at about the half-way point. Sorry for any confusion. See you there!

We could only get one video to work but it looks good. I think we should be there. Thanks

Would there be someplace to park a motorhome Sat. night at Flint Ridge?

:confused: Just checking the numbers? 4 1/2 hrs to ride 90 miles including lunch and gas. Thats about 25mph man thats a fast pace in the woods. heck I tried and enduro this yr with a 12 or 14 mph and still got 66 points. Just and FYI

There should be space for a motorhome. If you cannot find a spot, there is a campground 1/4 mi. down the road.

4-1/2 hours is simply a guesstimate. Our group typically rides at a pretty brisk pace with few breaks, so I could be way off. Our ride offers a variety of both technical and faster paced trail and shouldn't be considered a road ride. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for the info, you young guys can ride fast and without stopping so we should do it in 5 1/2-6 hr. That will be a good day of riding

We dropped off a load of firewood at the Park for those camping on Sat. night. Also, walked some of the trail today and it looks great! No rain in the forecast for tomorrow so it should be really nice.

I would like to say THANK YOU< THANK YOU <THANK YOU:banana: This was one of the best Dual sport rides we have ever been on. Was it the toughest..no, was it the longest..no. It was just the whole package. Trails were market very well (we did miss a turn or two but that was our fault) just enough street but not too much. Trails were tough enough that you had to work them but easy enough that we just had a really fun ride:thumbsup: We really liked the idea of coming back to the start for lunch as we, and the guys next to us, had some mechanical issues that could not be handled on the trail. Lunch was tastey too and the fruit salad was refreshing. We drove 2hrs and 45 minutes to get there and we will be there next yr too. IMO anyone that missed this ride missed a great day of riding:p
Thanks again and keep it up:ride:
