Question 1

Should I ride my adventure bike or dual sport?

Accepted Answer

This course is definitely more comfortable on an adventure bike.  The only portion requiring a dual sport is fairly short, optional, and for advanced riders.

Question 2

What is the total mileage of the ride and distance between gas stops?

Accepted Answer

The total mileage is 195 miles with 65 miles between gas stops.

Question 3

How many hours will the ride take?

Accepted Answer

Between 5 and 7 hours including stops for gas and lunch.

Question 4

How will the route be provided?

Accepted Answer

A GPX file will be sent out a week ahead of the ride and roll chart type directions will be provided as well so riders can print their own directions.

Question 5

Will there be a tech inspection/will we check motorcycle licenses?

Accepted Answer

No, we (Cal Poly Penguins) will not check anything; however, the course is not closed to the public during the ride. Riding a bike that is not street-legal runs you the risk of being pulled over. Additionally, it is possible that the Forest Service could be out on the road and have a checkpoint for spark arrestors. People have been pulled over by rangers in the past.

Question 6

What is the terrain/difficulty?

Accepted Answer

You'll be spending about 70% of your time on dirt and the rest will be paved roads. Technically the entire ride could be done in a 2wd truck so it is a mild ride.

Question 7

Will lunch be provided?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we will provide tri-tip sandwiches, snacks, and drinks.

Question 8

What time should I arrive/when does registration start?

Accepted Answer

Registration/check-in starts at 8:30 am! We will have a rider's meeting at 9 am and then we will start the ride at 9:30 am.
