Thats my plan also,they are calling for 1ft of snow on long range for the eleveth or twelvth i seen.🫰

Our group of 4 saddlebagged for over 30 years together. Worked great only booking 2 rooms (adjoining where possible), easier to get table for 4 at restaurants and only one vehicle and trailer to deal with. Got so that we only had 2 guys who would lead and the 3rd & 4th guys always rode in same position. We even had different riders that brought different maintenance items like antifreeze and tools to save space for necessities LOL. Great times and memories.

8 would be too many for me. too many people to keep on the same page and too much likelihood of something going wrong

8 is too many in a group.     Its like trying to herd cats.     I did a Gaspe tour a few years ago with 8 guys and we were struggling to get 200kms on in a day because everything took so long.     Gas stops were taking 45 mins.   Smoke breaks, pee breaks etc....    6 is my absolute max now.    

I am going to try and that way next Thursday or Friday for a short rip.   TWN is now calling for some snow after the warm up this weekend so the trails should be ok.     We are going back on the 21st for a season ending ride as well.
