uh... priorities? Riding sweet-ass place on your last opportunity of the season for $28, or spend all your $$$ to "upgrade" some components? Damn son. ;)

damn and all this started with me just saying that i'll be up around there the 16th because my GF got me jets/49ers tickets for my bday and i was thinking about hitting up mtncreek on saturday. it will be SWEET to have locals to ride with!

hey dan, any chance my bike can get a ride home with you? i'll be in NYC saturday night and i don't think i want to stash the SGS in the car. i can pick it up anytime since your not too far away from me... i'll give you a few fo-tees as bike transport payment ;) just make sure you don't drink too much so you can ride on sunday :thumb:

I paid $300 for mine at Mt. Airy Bikes in (duh) Mt. Airy, but that was 3 years ago at least, might be more expensive now.

weather...

On the East coast you'd never have fun if you stayed inside every time there was a 30% chance of rain in the four-day forecast.

Rain sucks though.

I worry for a few reasons..............

1) I may be going now some plans have changed (those of you in the know my bud is not coming)

2) Camping in the rain SUX

3) last time was there I kept making mental notes to myself saying "Holy Fuk, this would be insane if it was wet"

and
4) I am a sissy!

Have you tried Paris? I think he may still be selling a 2.5" 4 bike sport works rack.

yeah, he PMd me... but my wussy exploder only has a 1 1/4" hitch. :nuts:

and regarding rainy diablo.. will is my weatherman. i believe only him. camping in the rain DOES indeed suck, and perhaps we will have to find an emergency budget hotel room and stack all 45 of us VASA's in there. we'll figger it out...

if anything, i plan on heading up there friday right after work and can check out local conditions and weather reports and give you guys updates... or we can all just ride and ignore the rain while we are slipping (getting punished) on those rock gardens!

keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't rain too much :nope:

okay... here's the camping lowdown;

Beaver Hill Campgrounds: $29 per site (2 adults & 1 tent per site) $12 each additional adult. crazy expensive. we'd probably be better off in a hotel

High Point State Park: $15 per site (6 adults, 2 cars)
~17 miles from mtn creek, no alcohol in NJ state parks

Stomes State Forest: $15 per site (6 adults, 2 cars)
~20 miles from mtn creek, no alcohol in NJ state parks

Days In McAfee: ~$80 per night (however many people we can sneak in)

Wawayanda State park: full

i'm leaning toward High Point I guess... we should reserve a campsite or 2 ASAP though.

who's definitely going? my count is:
corey

julio
dan
sarah
dave

will, kalan & brad will already be up there... am i forgetting anyone else?

last time we visisted the Beaver we just paid like 30 bills for like 5 of us. Maybe we got lucky or maybe its the time of season they really don't care?

Steve

It is looking like I and T will be going. Will know better by the end of the day.
