September 11&12 marks the 24th
annual Land Between the Lakes 200.
The event, which is the longest running Dual Sport in the U.S.,
was started in 1987, when Roger Ansel of the AMA came up with the
idea
for the named Trail Ride Series. This event is held each September
in the beautiful Land Between the Lakes National Recreation area. LBL
is 170,000 acres of land between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. The
area is about 8 miles wide and 55 miles long, and the Dual Sport Ride
will cover around 200 miles of hiking trails, dirt and gravel roads,
with some blacktop also. This year, our headquarters, start, and finish
will be at Piney Campgrounds in the southernmost part of LBL. This is
the same location as our 2009 ride.
