Hello! Thinking about the June BAM as a first bike tour. Any opinions +/-? I can't find much discussion of this online and want to make sure it is a fun/well run event before paying for registration... Thanks for any input.

Big Bam is well run, Greg is a class act, I have done multiple rides, albeit the trucks take your gear, have showers ready, on the rides, be self sufficient. Many start off thinking they'll offer water/snacks etc, and if they do great, but don't count on it. Katy is a great shaded trail, good in summer.

Thanks for the info Dano! Think I will dive in - I hope there are lots of other people joining in...

Any other comments/suggestions?

I've done Big BAM on the Katy twice. Unfortunately I won't be there this year.

I highly recommend the tent service with Pork Belly Ventures. It's an extra cost but it's sure nice to pull into the campground only to have your tent already set up with an air mattress. They also take down the tent in the morning. Also includes other things such as drinks and a nice charging station.

Sounds great! I'm signed up but guess I'll lug my own tent. For $70 a night (to set up and break down a tent) I'd probably look for a rooom!
