Layton is correct. We run some roads, mostly gravel, but we need bikes to be street legal looking. I was the one that gave the riders meeting last year and what I said was "we have to have bikes looking legal, we cannot have MX bikes with no lights on the roads and expect to keep having events". The area we run in is growing more and more just like every other little town. So the more we can do to keep towns people happy, the longer we can put on events.
I was amazed at the number of people that were upset with us for not letting them run with MX bikes with no lights. I know it's your problem if the cops stop you as far as tickets go, but people don't understand that the cops will come back to the club and ask us why we let none legal bikes go on public roadways. If that was to happen, you can bet the next year they will be out checking around for the same thing to happen. So if make people have lights and they look "legal" , it justs helps. Knock on wood, we only run a couple of gravel roads and have never had problems for over 30 years, but it only takes one time to wreck an event.
Anyway:
This years event should be about a 25 mile loop with about 4 miles of road. It should be fun for everyone. If you rode last falls or the spring event, this will be different trail and maybe a little more open. For the people that rode the Spring Enduro, it will be the majority of the second loop.
