I read the word somewhere on this forum one time and wondered what it was so I looked up the local (as in B.C. Canada) website and found some info.

I don't quite get it though. Do you camp on the longer ones? Hotels? Keep riding for 24-48 hours? Are there rest stations? Do you carry stuff in panniers or have someone driving as well? Or can it be all of these things depending on the ride/place/organizers?

No matter what, it sounds SO cool, it's now my new long-term goal.
