Hey all -

Time to put this camping hash on the calendar - 4th weekend in October (Sat. 10/24) will be our trip to NC.

If you want to reserve now, there are plenty of sites we can get for just 2 nights, but to make it worth your while biking wise, going up on Thursday isn't a bad idea.
www.reserveamerica.com Search Davidson River.

If you don't want to commit to a site now, there are plenty of first come sites, but because it is in the height of the fall leaf color season, Davidson River will most likely be completely filled by Thursday evening, it was the last year few years. It was really hard to get enough campsites. And basically, if you want to camp, you have to help with getting the sites.

If we can get enough people to commit - reserving some sites would be a good idea.
Sites 34 - 41 are all together and available at this time.

So, start working on getting 2 days (10/22 & 10/23), or at least a day & getting up early on Friday.

More details onteh hash when it gets closer.


Just a side note, this is the most bitchin riding I have ever experienced, hands down. It is a long trip and for those of you that dont camp out you will miss a really fun time. Last year Glen and Young Robert went and definately pushed to the limits but a definately repeatable experience the leaves were in full turn and part of the trails only open this one time of the year for the leaves changing. This is a not miss trip if you have the opportunity. My brother was a mtn bike camp guide up there and he knows the area really well great biking!

Alot of peeps on the Moots forum live in Ashville and ride SS up there all the time.. dont know if its the same exact trails, but terrain should be the same.. Might have to walk a few times, but you did OM SS without breaking a sweat..

Wow, that trip would be awesome. Unfortunately my household goods will be on a slow boat to china by then...or at least Germany. I am keeping one bike to ride till I leave and then having a friend mail it to me, and I doubt the MTB will make the cut. Likely the cross bike since I can ride the short loop at UWF on it and still ride road too. On a side note, I looked at the world cup MTB calander and three races will be within four hours of my new house. All porcers are welcome. We are getting a 5 bedroom house (yes I got one from my bikes and indoor trainer...yeah me)so we will have plenty of room for guests. Tour de France will be within four hours of the house too.

If you really wanted to go then I have a Vintage Bianchi BASS, recently serviced and ready for a ride, I am taking mine as a single speed but I will carry an 18 rear cog for the second day of riding, not so much for the hash will stay with my quite comfortable 32/16 for dupont state forest.

Any updates on this? Did anyone reserve any campsites?

Due to my current financial situation and my bro being injured, I dont see myself getting to go, but I strongly suggest others go for a great trip. M
