The Spring Rally ADV Route involves more climbing and some trail riding. It will be most enjoyable for riders who are comfortable on more technical terrain (double track forest roads), steeper climbs and descents, and longer distances between resupply points. Low climbing gears and 50 mm or 2.1 ” tires are recommended. The route will be shared with riders when they are sent a confirmation email.
