Breakfast and then leave Old Victoria and head north and back to Twin Lakes State Park. The ride is a very unique event. The tractors will go approximately 30 miles each day with a top speed of 6 MPH. The majority of the ride is on gravel trails with only a small portion of paved road. Riders should be as self suffient as possible. This includes: layered clothing, rain gear, tent and sleeping gear, walkie talkies, cell phones, any tools and repair parts they may need for their tractor. The sponsors of the ride will have a maintence package along with common items i.e. spark plugs etc. based on the information provided on the registration forms.
