Daily Riding Schedule
What a Typical Riding Day Looks Like
An average day consists of about 100-140 miles / 160-225 Km, or 6-8 hours, depending on weather and trail conditions.
Schedules may vary and are terrain dependent:
>> 6–8 hours riding
>> fuel stops planned but not guaranteed
>> lunch is often packed
>> return late afternoon
Riding after dark is avoided but may occasionally happen due to weather or trail conditions.
How Many Miles Do We Ride?
The trails can be categorized into 3 types: 10 MPH rough trails, 20 MPH average trails, 30+ MPH forest roads. On an average day, we will see all types, though mostly the average 20 MPH.
Our daily rides average 100-140 miles / 160-225 km
Riding Conditions
Trails can be muddy, rocky, and dusty depending on conditions. The terrains vary widely and the weather impacts trails significantly.
Food & Lunch Planning
We recommend bringing drinks and easy-to-carry items like snacks, meat sticks, cheese, and fruit. Lunch stops are limited, often nonexistent, so it's generally a good idea to pack something to eat for during the ride.
