you might be surprised. they were having attendance problems when they restricted it to big bikes. They didn't have one last year. they might not fill as rapidly as one might think.
let me clear up a few things. last year the event was handed to MCI who dropped the ball dissapointing everyone. this year they fumbled again and jack recovered the ball at the last second. so OCCR has controll again.
the cc limit was put in place to weed out the hare scramble guys. this event is a big bike adventure ride and with groups of motocross bikes racing each other thru 26 seperate municipalities it became overwelming. some of these routes go right thru small comunities. getting rid of small bikes and 2 strokes solved that problem.
as for filling up, 100 is the easiest # to keep track of over 1/2 of the entire state of nj. it is not like a hare scramble or enduro where you are restricted to a couple hundred acres. the pine barrens is 1.2 million acres and we have to provide medical and mechanical/towing support the entire route..
this event is very popular with entrants from florida to ohio to ontario... it will fill up. it has never not filled up.
it is an event that large adventure tour bikes can ride in and do more than just dirt roads.
the dinner is a buffet banquet with presentations and entertainment. the shirts have always been collared polo type embroidered at the least. sometimes vests or jackets.
if you wanna attend and arent sure of time off all i can say is sign up and back out at the last minute...
hawkin bridge camping is 12 dirt miles
from the start ($2 a nite)
