be careful with the beer. the rangers are nasty about it. invest in a wawa coffee mug or something similar to pour your brews into. even a non-clear water bottle will do. DO NOT walk around with cans or bottles. we will get tossed out.

ride is Sunday, 9:30am for campers and day trippers.
A couple of us are getting up there Saturday late afternoon and plan to do a ride around 4:30 before dinner. Also might do a mini night ride too before attempting sleep.

I wanna catch a Sat ride around 11 am or noon before it gets sizzling hot, then hit the lake and swim maybe. I think they swim in the bigger lake. And ride again right when its max temperature. I'm gonna wear long pants too. Hahaha. Sorry got carried away. Did I mention that I will have a beer in a nice camoflage mug....?

no swimming in the lakes but they have a big ass pool. it used to cost $3 to get in the pool, might have gone up but i believe campers get a discount.

That is worth mentioning. All beer must be on the DL. No alcohol allowed. Bring a cup or something to hide your brew!

That was a great time. It's so close too. Not even an hour away and the trails are sweet, campsite was perfect. We will do this again. Maybe in the fall when it's not like an oven outside.

FC was a total blast. I ate like a pig and road myself into the ground. I could barely move this morning, but the Wiss trail were excellent this evening. I just can't get enough

Yea it was a real fun time. The weather was hot but was bearable. It was real fun Yo-Yoing with the 29er dudes! Meaning they would fly up the long climbs and we would fly down the super rocky downs, passing each other at the transitions. Good times! We had 11 people on my 2nd ride on Sat. PMBA was in the HOUSE!
