Anyone done something like the MABDR 2 up?

[Jonnybow]

I'm really interested in doing portions of the MABDR with my wife, she's a trooper when it comes to touring and being a good pillion on my K16 BUT not sure yet how she's going to be on the GSA. Anyone have any 2 up experience on that particular trek?

If Rob and Joe can do it 2 up you two should be just fine.

I should have known better!!

You may find stuff like this:









The main problem with these areas isn't that they are that "technical", but there is some slimy stuff along the way. And some of the gravel was a bit deep. These weren't the worst areas either. I didn't stop to take pictures of the worst because I just wanted to get through it. 90% or more was hard pack and paved I'd say.

Here's some of the better road surfaces.





Fresh asphalt


One could get some speed on this pseudo double track.

When Tim and I did Engineer Pass and Ophir Pass a few years back 2 up on the GS, I had to walk some of the more "challenging" sections. That may be the case here but it makes a great photo opportunity!

I would think that would suffice here as well. The length of the bad sections aren't great either, maybe a couple of hundred steps at most.
