Just a sweet trail ride, usually in places no one but locals or private land owners have access to. No racing, just run at your own pace. Some of them have lunch stops in the middle (RI thrill and Chill used to) Think I'm going to do a bunch of them next year.

I have been riding NETRA Turkey Runs for over 45 years. NETRA Turkey Runs are *non-competitive* trail rides. They are generally from 65 to 110 miles long. The event flyers will generally say whether gas stations are on route, or if you have to bring your own gas can to put on a gas truck (which the organizer will drive to a spot on the route). It is *highly recommended* that you have a route sheet holder (RSH) - as you will be provided with a route sheet that will have mileage (in tenths of a mile) on the left side, and directions ("R on Tar", "L on WR" - woods road, etc.). Bring scissors and scotch tape. You will need the scissors to cut the route sheet page into strips, and the scotch tape is needed to tape the strips together to load onto your RSH. (I also run a continuous strip of scotch tape down the back, to prevent it from ripping in case it gets wet)
Some riders will be very fast - move over for them quickly. Others will struggle. I usually try to stop to help them.
There may be "Hero Sections" - Beware! Some of them can be very difficult - especially if you are not accustomed to such long mileage.

FYI - I have seen some riders attempt to follow other riders, or the tracks of others, and get lost. Some organizers use the bright orange NETRA arrows and arrow generously - but some arrow sparingly and it can be very difficult to know where the turns are if you do not have an odometer and a route sheet.

If I can get the lower control arms done on the GX470 I"m going... but it all depends on time. Right now... its tight.

Not gonna make it either

Sounds like a dual sport ride for the east coast

It will take a lot of preparation, and a lot of money but life is short and this will be one of your best memories as long as you don’t get hurt. Do it.

I'm pretty tuned up for next year though.
See you in'22
