A little pricey, but sounds like fun.

I did this with Jqueen, his brother JMQ2, Tireman, and Kerry Bertsch in 2018.

I'll be riding the Acadiana 400

I'll be riding the Acadiana Adventure 400 Sept 29 and 30, camping Saturday night. It's been a while since I've done any group riding, so I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to come along. https://www.acadianadirtriders.com

Dang, I like the map on the website for directions to the campground. Used a ruler and everything!

 

[my6]

If anyone wants to meet up and ride this together let me know....

 

[jbird710]

Google Maps doesn’t show the roads and is probably why they did the drawing.

 

[my6]

All Signed up for the 400.

If they getting our weather. No dust!

 

[my6]

I've been looking at the weather report and at this time it shows PM thunderstorms on Wednesday then its sunny weather with lows in the 50's and highs in the low 80's for the weekend.
Does it get any better than that?

 

[woodsguy]

@my6 you using this system? Someone on FB is!

 

[my6]

The roll chart info came with the gpx route. I’ll be utilizing DMD2 on my tablet.

That's interesting, sure seems like lot of trouble.

I’ll be utilizing DMD2 on my tablet.

That looks neat!

Is that the system you had on your dirtbike a couple years ago(or more, lol) when rode the Eastside? Remember some kind of tablet looking deal.

Ha! Forgot all about that day. Yeah I was experimenting with it then. I’ve upgraded to one with more memory now. I’ve also upgraded to a 14/6days 300 but my knees aren’t happy with me when I do the Whoops at Sam. Now Kisatchi is much more like it.

 

[woodsguy]

Ha! Forgot all about that day

Thanks, lol, where's the love.

 

[woodsguy]

Oh and my knees hate the whoops. My legs too.

Day1 230 miles in the book. No mud, two hard bottom water crossings. Gravel roads, lots and lots of gravel covered roads.
