Weekend Dirt Tour Planned

Alex and I are planning to do a riding/camping trip this weekend involving riding from Bozeman to Alder, then through Butte, around Helena, and over to White Sulphur Springs and then back to Bozeman. We are trying to do it as much on dirt as possible. He will be riding the KTM 625SXC and I will be riding my XR600R. Hopefully we can find some good routes as most of our planned route has not been travelled by either of us.....

Strategy is to go ultralite in the packing dept....no tent, no stove, minimal clothing besides riding gear, mostly just tools and a sleeping bag and pad, and food. This will allow us to rally at a good speed through rough terrain. Should be at least 400 miles total, and I am betting we can do it with less than 50 or so on pavement.
