I know for fact I cannot make this ride in it's entirety. I would love to know more about how it goes and could do 2 or so days. not trying to be a cheap skate but what would prohibit a guy from just tagging along for 2 days without paying. ( I would bring my own gear,food and camp would not dream of using any resources others have paid for) I have done the moonlight ramble and notice many wait outside the start and just ride along. I pay every year because I believe in their cause, but inthe above mentioned case I just want to meet some people and budget the time for the complete supported ride maybe next year.

I believe you can sign up for 1 or 2 days, and pay a reduced fee. The one problem I see with your plan is that they do give everyone a rider tag that you need to display on your bike(or person), so you come into their camp without that, and try to set up to camp, you might be questioned about that by someone with DNR and they may ask you to leave. They often camp at schools or other non designated camp sites, and I presume they(DNR) pays for this, so just camping with the tour group w/o paying is not a good plan. However, I don't see anything wrong with simply riding the trail and camping or lodging elsewhere on a schedule that coincides with the tour to get a feel for what it is like.

PS, FYI, the tour this year is June 16-20, and it starts in St. Charles(not official yet, but last year started in Clinton), but they have not announced the intermediate stops yet, but that should be avaliable in a few weeks.
