Already put in my days for vacation this year, so I can't. Next year I will make every effort to go. Is the web page you listed the official one for the event? I have to put in my vacation request in December/January so the earlier I can get the dates for next year the better.

Eeek... dont say that. I'm still awaiting my ticket. :(

Hmm... 50 spots left this morning, and yes, whats in the mail will probably top it off... (crosses fingers)


BTW, anyone on the way from Dayton is welcome to ride for the price of 1/2 the gas if you can fit in my teeny car...

anything that this http://www.soeast.com/faqs.htm does not answer can probably be answered with an email to Dave mbw@soeast.com

either way, move fast... there are few spots left.

Sorry for the late post. I had fallen off of the internet for a few months. Life sucks sometimes.

Well, I went and I guess the best adjective I could use would be Wet.
Two days of thunderstorms do not make for good trailriding.
On the bright side, It cleared up Sunday, just in time to drive home.

Personally, I found the organizer to be lacking in any useful info for newbies to the event. He tended to describe things by saying "those of you who have attended before knowwhat I mean / am talking about / where its at" There were a few things to cater to the noobs like an information session on trail in the area (did not include minor details like <i>directions to the trailhead</i> in many cases) as well as guided group rides (Ick, I like to ride alone alot.)

Honestly, I found the staff at Blue Mountain Sports to be far more helpful. They were able to direct me to several beautiful trails within riding distance from downtown JT. In return, I spent a crapload of money there ;)

Overall, I had fun, got wet, and rode a bunch. It was a long drive for me (560+mi) so I'm not sure I'll go back.
