So my friends an I are planning to do the ADV route on the Big ADV bikes on Saturday.

 

Sunday they plan on doing the hard route on their enduro bikes. This route is not Big ADV Bike friendly route.

 

You can do the ADV route on Sunday, if you can not make it on Saturday. You can ride any route you wish on a street legal enduro or ADV Bike.

 

Just message me and I can give you my contact info if you want to join our group. So, far there are 5 of us, two on T7s.

 

You need to have a spark arrestor if you don't have the stock exhaust, current, AMA membership, and pay the ride entry fee.

I great time with my ADV friends.

 

Two of them were on Dual Sport bikes and both completed the Very Hard trails in the allotted time. They started from 6AM and finished their ride at 8 PM, 210 mile (336km).

 

I didn't camp overnight in the mountains. I rode up straight from home in the AM to try to hook up with some ADV friends.

 

I registered and rode the ADV routes (4 GPS track sections) trying to hook up with 5 other ADV friends. I had sporadic cell signals, so I wasn't able to get all their texts where they were having breakfast. So I took off by myself onto the first ADV route. Before the ADV Sweeps started on the ADV trails at 9AM. I took off onto ADV route one @ 8:30 (really late), and caught up and passed a group of ADV riders, near the end of stage one check point.

 

My GPS was giving me grief at the start of GPS ADV route 2, it kept saying to do a u-turn, I was beginning to doubt I was going the right way. I went for a several miles solo and I eventually turned back to the start of the stage 2 track, to shut up the GPS. lol

 

That's when I ran into this same group I passed at the end of ADV route 1. I attached myself to the group as the sweep. I figured their lead's GPS was on track. I didn't know whom I was riding with still. I was safer with in a group.

 

At our first rest break, when we began to take all our helmets off, that was when I then recognized whom I was with. I ran into the ADV group I was planning to ride with this whole time. lol We all look like the other ADV riders when riding on the move and all the dust.

 

A quick break when we just hit the first section of pavement on ADV route 2.

 

 

ADV Route 2, after a miles and miles of uphill elevation change in a very rocky sections.

 

 

 

 

About 2/3 of they through the 2nd route. Beak time with a great view of the lake.

 

 

 

 

Almost 500 riders participated. About 80 riders completed all the hard section routes. 2021 Big Bear Run 210 mile (336km) Hard Way Routes.

 

Dinner and banquette after a long days ride.

 

In one of the lines for steak, chicken and fixings for dinner 7:30PM.

There are about  a dozens or so GPS tracks you can do. There are Hard tracks for the Dual Sport bikes. The ADV bike track are a little easier (4 GPS tracks) for the heavier bikes. You however can do any of the tracks.

 

Here is my buddy Jay doing the DS Hard trails:
