Today was the Americade Dual Sport Ride. I had a route sheet in advance and was able to get it all in the GPS before starting. It was about 95 miles on the first leg, finishing with a lunch stop. 
The 2nd leg was about 48 miles back to Roaring Brook.
I am a real NOOB on a dual sport so while this may not have been the toughest route in the world, I had a blast and learned alot. I skipped the 2 small "hero" sections and probably wisely so.. Both a 1200GSA and a KLR went down over the logs and broke some plastic.
There was probably around 20 bikes in this event. I was the only F650 GS, though there was also an F650 Classic. I also saw several KLR's, a half dozen larger 1150 and 1200 GS's, a single Vstrom 650, 2 KTM's, and smattering of other more dirt oriented bikes from 250 to 450CC
I am really looking forward to more of this riding and hope to find some nice areas in NH to ride also. The West Virginia SMR by the MTF is coming up in a couple weeks and I will be riding down for that... Both the seat and windshield need some work for distance riding but that will have to wait a while.
