Plan for the unplannable...or something. I should be there. Working on it, anyway.

I'd love to have a 6" duel squishy to ride down there. Beating someone up the hill isnt nearly as fun as beating them down.

Just started a new job, not sure if I can get the time off.
If I can swing it, I may take a long weekend. Might be able to convince a couple people from down here to come with. You know, share the expense and all.
I'd definately be bringing the Enduro SX, unless you think the XC Hardtail would be better? Hah, I almost typed that all the way without laughing.

My wife is talking to her sister about it right now. If I were to swing it, I'd fly to Altanta and drive from there. Do you guys know of anywhere I could rent something like a Kona Coilair from?
That is assuming that you guys would actually want to associate with a Canadian.

So how bad is the mountain going to pwn me and my '07 hardrock sport if I come? All stock except for BB7's on front, and eggbeaters.
Im in Birmingham so only about a 12 hour drive. Very tempting.

You would do fine. We have not had anyone leave from one of our trips yet that did not have a wonderful time. I thought we were riding ninja style....
