The Berkshire Trail Riders Association presents the

Come ride the Berkshire trails! This is an event for enduro bikes and trail worthy dual sports. Knobby tires are a must. The route will be mostly on single track trails and rugged woods roads. We are cutting some new trail just for this event. Hero sections will be marked for the most challenging sections. Think NETRA Turkey Run or AMA National 2-day Dual Sport type terrain.

Anyone interested in cabin rental for this event let me know. These are rustic cabins at a summer camp and there are a lot of different options. From bunkhouses that sleep 10-12 to cabins that sleep 4-8. Electricity, indoor bathroom and showers. Prices are very reasonable IMO.

You need to bring your own pillows, sheets, blankets, towels, soap and shampoo.

ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING IN THESE FACILITIES.

The prices listed are for the cabin/bunkhouse/room for the two day weekend (Friday and Saturday nights).

I am taking reservations now. When you reserve I will need to know (via PM) your name, number of people in your party, planned arrival time, and cell phone.

Each building here is some what unique. I will do my best to match your party to the right lodging.

In general, the bunk houses have a large open area with single metal frame cots (everyone sleeping in the same room) and a second smaller room for hanging out or sleeping. Each building has it's own bath room (toilet, sinks, shower).

We have six rooms for rent as well. These rooms are all in one cabin, known as "The Condos", and all share a bathroom. So if you are solo, or just two people, this is an option to consider. Just know that you are sharing a cabin and bathroom with others and need to be respectful of that.

The 2010 BTR Mudslinger Enduro was a great success this past weekend.

Now BTR turns it's attention to this DS trail ride (Turkey Run for you NETRA folks). Hope many of you will join us for a great 2 days in the Berkshires.

No, sorry Janet. Primitive camping as they say. But there is a nice lake right there. There will be Port-a-potties for tent campers and day visitors.

(The cabins have showers, toilets and electricity ... hint, hint )
