Curious if anyone has mapped out the routes for the upcoming ride at Wendell SF on May 25th. How long is the advanced route? What does it include?

Also, how's the camping situation? Is it geared towards families or more towards toothless drunken hillbillies? Thanks.

The event on the 25th is actually in Goshen at the D.A.R. State Forest

Thanks for the update. Do you know if the DCR map that's linked on the website is accurate, or are there more trails there that aren't shown on the map?

The DCR Map of the DAR reflects most of the trails-per se, however, the trails are more single track and longer than they appear on that map. There are about 10 miles worth of biker built-biker specific single track trails, another 6 or so miles of trails that have been enhanced by bikers over the years (and are mostly single track)-all in all, there is a good day of rocky, rooty, yet fairly flowy single track fun to be had at the DAR.

We haven't mapped out the route yet-but expect @15 miles of Single track with some dirt road connectors thrown in.

I camp up there with my family several times a year-once in a while we get drunken red necks (a bane to any camp ground)-but usually fairly nice families-the campsite are quite nice and the lake is pretty.

If you have any other specific (or general) questions send them my way! Hope to see you on the 25th!
