Our ride was taken from Dockingpilot's original ride back in '09 when he and his crew from NJ rode it with help from fellow adventure riders in Maine and the New Brunswick Dual Sport Club. GPS tracks are available in his ride report.
If you are going to ride it let me know as I would do one section differently next time.

Thanks for the link...... Looks like an amazing trip. I'm looking for a ride to do this spring but only have 3-4 days to fit it in. We're planning on the TLH in September and can't get another week or two of vacation to pull off the whole trp in 2013. I live in Maine and it looks like I could do part of the trip in the time I have available in the spring and maybe the entire trip the following year. I'll check out both RR's in detail and the gps coordinates. Thanks for the great pictures and I appreciate all the information.

Thanks
Rob

[QUOTE=Nice_Rumble;20241252]The WR could have made it through the rocks but I think it was actually easier going to the left through the woods. No rocks to hit.

The Rotopax was carrying 2 gallons of fuel not water.[/

Hey Skip

Looks like a good trip. Was the 250 a good choice. When is the next ride? I need a dirt bike. See you next spring.

There is no perfect bike for all situations but the little blue bike persevered.
Next big ride is The 2013 Colorado Adventure Motorcycle 1000. Get a bike and join us.

That was great to read. I grew up in Maine (Orono) and spend time at our family camp in Elsworth. There is nothing more eerie than hearing loons screaming on a rainy summer night at camp.
The more time I spend on this site, the less time I can see my self working.................Now I have to add an other ride to my list.

Nice RR guys! Glad you enjoyed some of the thousands of backcountry roads we have in NB. Come on back any time!
I'm gonna give that Sunrise trail to Ellsworth a ride next summer I'd completely forgotten about it.
