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
BBA Ride Summary
Two day GPS guided routes
150+ miles/day
Optional hero sections
Gas at 40ish mile intervals
Multiple lunch options along the way
The main routes are tours of classic Berkshire maintained dirt roads with as little pavement as possible. Lots of twists and turns on loose dirt/gravel roads, blind corners and water depending on recent weather. Obstacles such as blindingly beautiful vistas,oncoming rural traffic, the occasional dog in the road and where to stop for lunch should be expected.
The optional hero sections are rated from I to V with I being the easiest and V having significant challenges with varied levels of consequences.
Days typically start with easier hero options and difficulties advancing as the day progresses.
Riders new to the BBA are strongly encouraged to arrive early or get up early to do some laps on the Hero II Amazon Loop located on property.
Advanced riders can test their skill on the more advanced trails also located on property.
