DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

anybody doing anything like a 777 ride this year? I have no clue how to make a route if i did i would set one up. I would however help someone set one up. I think DAMN could use a good dual sport ride.

stickied and thanks for volunteering!

Junior,

I've had the same thought and being OLD and LAZY I was thinking of contacting Jason and hopefully getting a copy of some of his prior routes with the idea that they could be recycled (Punny) with maybe a few mods. I remember thinking the one that your brother was on was really fun and had a nice stopover with motel option for us OLD folks (and it had that FUN trail up the mountain that we got to do twice because we hit a gate the first time). Also the one where I couldn't get anyone to go with me to try the sort of overgrown trail up the mountain above the sort of frozen mud pit area was good. With better GPSs and maybe updated topo maps we should be able to do this.

What exactly is a 777 ride?

Get to reading! and there where 2 before that one! It used to be the highlight ride of the DAMN year. I have to think that Jay or Ken have track logs from past rides....

Here is part deux, from 2010:

that first ride was truly epic.

We have never been able to match that.

It was the kind of experience legends are made from.

OK I will bite...where did the 777 name come from?

I've heard the answer to this but those brain cells died sometime in 2011.... I think it had to do with being in July (7th month) riding over 7 mountains.....shit, I can't remember. Kyler?
