Cant wait for this one, its going to be awesome!!!!!

[music_maj_34]

Count me in again! Can't wait!! :bigthumb:

Just a head up to anyone that has never been there... bring plenty of extra water!

Kinda of a long hike back to the parking area if you forget anything.

Also, there is not many places to get out of the sun. This time I think I will bring a long some sort of canopy.

I don't recall if there were toilets anywhere in that area. Maybe Mike can answer that?

Not trying to discourage anyone from going... just wanna make sure you are prepared!

By far this is one of my favorite comp locations!!

Is this in the same location as the event on June 16th? I'm going to try and make it to this one too,,,

[muddyfox]

Yup, same place.

Hahah, what would be "cool" to you? (I'm open to suggestions)

[johnglazer]

I'll be there.

edit: hey mikey, when are you coming down? Where are you staying?

[mikeyr89]

I'm not sure where to stay yet. Last year when I went down I stayed in the hotel that was a cool shape, like a minute ride away from the parking area, but it was expensive, and I'm not sure if I'm gonna stay there again. But I'll find out for sure whenever the date gets closer.

I'm in for sure......this is a comp that you will not want to miss......its worth your time to take a quick stroll on I-95!!!!!!!

Why? was it tooooo easy :hsugh:

[mikeyr89]

Awesomeeeee
Thanks Ryan for putting that together! I also like the picture that Jay took (the one on homepage of biketrials.com)

Will Bizport sponsor us again?!
Shoot me a pm with details!
Thanks,
-Mikey

[templarbond]

I think $25 is too high for beginners.
Maybe $10, just to get people in.
??

[va_tick]

not a bad idea....maybe $15.00 depending on the amount we get for sponsorship....dont want to have to come out of pocket really.

[mikeyr89]

If you compare this to other events, $25 is cheap, but looking at it for beginners having a lower price, that is a good idea I might consider. Also if the sponsorship does pull through then that is looking more like a possibility. As of now lets not change any thing and leave it at $25 all arround, but I'm going to consider changing beginner. Thanks for the idea
