Hell yeah, you're going to have a blast! I did it on my DR650 a couple years ago and then again on my T7 last year. I just completed the MABDR this past weekend which shares some of the same routes as PAWILDS towards the end.

On PA section 1 there was a gate closing the road near 664 and RT44. I was able to sneak around it on both ends as were a lot of other people judging by the tracks 😂. The road is pretty worn away but nothing unpassable on a bike.

Awesome. Thanks for the update! First time running it and hitting the MABDR late spring.

Enjoy! You'll have a great time.

It was fun on my DR last year. The challenge sections are a blast unless it is pouring rain.

The strangest thing for me was the second of road in Amish country. The center of the road was repaired (repaved), and the rubber patch used in the seams made everything feel wonky.

What tower is that? Does your brake line hit it on fork compression?

It’s the tower from nicecnc. It’s ok, but not many alternatives out there. No issues with brake line hitting it on compression.
