BBA Ride Summaries

Explorer Route – Saturday and Sunday
A different 180ish mile scenic loop each day. A more relaxed ride over paved and maintained dirt roads with no significant challenges.

Big Bike Adventure Routes (BBA) – Saturday and Sunday
The BBA is a challenging ADV ride that will test man and machine. Both days start with a couple miles of Hero-I (H-I) that gives you a taste of a typical BBA. The main route will have fewer hero sections than in past years, but it is the BBA after all… H-III’s and above will be identified and routed off the main track.

Best of the Berks Dual Sport Ride – Sunday Only
The Best of the Berks is easier than our Fall Triple B Turkey Run. Really, it is…

It’s a .GPX (NO ROLL SHEET) route for 500CC bikes. We planned the route for average riders to have a high probability of completing it. The route which is about 80 miles of the best trails the Berkshires have to offer. (But not Miller Swamp!)

What to Expect
*A wide variety of technical challenges from mild to wild
*To be picking your bike up, at least once
*GPS routed rides with optional hero sections
*A warm dining hall to socialize and relax in
*To seriously regret not putting on a fresh set of knobby
*I mean seriously regret not doing it

Team Work Makes the Dream Work

We encourage rider teams of four, not to exceed eight, with at least one of those riders being GPS savvy

A Note About BBA Sweep Riders
We have limited sweeper riders to cover the 500+ miles per day, thus the emphasis on team work
