About this ride:
This year's ride will be a 6 day explorer's dual sport ride in the Medicine Bow Forest of Wyoming and Northern Colorado.
Riders spend each night in a motel and stage from three different locations.
This Roulette is a 6 day dual sport ride starting in Southern Wyoming, riding 2 days in the Medicine Bow Forest, then moving to Northern Colorado and riding two more days in the Medicine Bow Forest. Finally we move for the last two days and ride in the Routt National Forest. This is a Dual Sport style ride focused on exploring and discovering the back corners of this Rocky Mountain region. The ride is mostly dirt roads and ATV trails with a few options for motorcycle only singletrack trails. Riders will spend each night in 1 of 3 different motels. Riders will have access to their trucks every evening. Riders should come with top notch bikes in great condition as there are few services along the remote routes. Ride will be self led by GPS. Riders team up together and ride in small groups.

About Roulette:
This is a Roulette style ride. This ride is not for everyone, only riders who like exploring and discovery. This ride is for intermediate and advanced riders only. This will be a bit of a tough guy style ride. No beginners and no wimps. Some of the routes are exploratory in nature and therefore unknown. Some routes may not work out. You must enjoy that sort of thing.

Things to think about before signing up
Is this ride right for you?
This is an explorer's ride. The nature of exploring is that much is unknown, so things can go wrong. The routes are unproven and sometimes don't work due to obstacles or just plain errors. The day can turn long and test your abilities and patience. You will find yourself in the mix of many rider's opinions that know how to fix the problem. You need to be able to find the fun in that. The riding can be fun, challenging, fast, slow, scenic and hard. It is all about the riding.
Are you right for this ride?
When something goes wrong on a ride, would your riding friends say that you are more likely to need help or more likely to give help? You should be in the more likely to offer help camp. This ride is filled with riders that are more likely to give help, so most of the time the riders never need help. Additionally there is all the normal stuff: come prepared to maintain your bike, fix your bike on the trail, repair flat tires, deal with bad weather and rain and make a joke or two.
How does the ride navigation work?
This is a self-led GPS ride; all riding is on your own. You are responsible for your own riding. You will be given a GPS map file and instructions on how to use your Garmin GPS unit. People will hook up in small groups of less than 6 riders and tend to ride together. You are not encouraged to ride alone. You are responsible for your own riding and yourself.

How do I make the GPS stuff so easy?
I develop very high quality custom ride maps for our ride. They come from much of what I and others have ridden. I take the best from all my rides and make new ones.

Note from me, gpsKevin
My goal for this ride is simple: great riding! You can count on great routes and places to ride.
But, in addition, the ride is about discovering new places, meeting new friends, seeing new parts of the world.
Thanks gpsKevin
