This. It was a bit of a rainout when we went too (2015) but we got there early enough to miss some of the crowds and ride (and drink lots of Troegs).Get there a day or so early and put your long rides in then. Until Saturday, it's really not busy, and the trails are still multi-directional until Friday afternoon/evening.
Also, ride the stuff on the south/west side, way less traffic over there.
One of the reasons I got tossed into the group going is because of "how cheap it is"...- it costs too much for what you get
You must have dentists for friendsOne of the reasons I got tossed into the group going is because of "how cheap it is"...
Crowded trail doesn't sound the best, but the guys that have gone the last few years had a blast. We'll see I guess...

Interesting point. The guy that voluntold me does ride a carbon Pivot.You must have dentists for friends
figures...IMO it's best to avoid mt bike festivals unless you just want to drink with dentists.
Perfect place for a mobile pizza shed?It is very close to Rothrock also.
I've always loved camping there, particularly when I'm the only person.It is very close to Rothrock also.
I can get everything I need at the State College Wegmans except fire. I can cook a good pizza in a Smoky Joe. To be fair I can cook better things then pizza also. I will work on the fire part.Perfect place for a mobile pizza shed?
Me too. Its that kind of place.I've always loved camping there, particularly when I'm the only person.
which way are you coming down? rothrock isn't too far from what i've been told and is a good ride.Next week already, eh.
@jonKranked Any suggestions on what to do, where to ride on Monday morning?
We have the Monday off due to a holiday, so we will be staying over somewhere Sunday night and heading back Monday. So we have to find somewhere to camp/stay on Sunday. Should have a few hours of ride time available Monday morning.
We're heading down in two groups. I can go with either one. First group is doing the above, staying over somewhere and heading back Monday. Other car/group is taking off on Sunday and staying in Philadelphia Sunday night. Then heading back from there on Monday.
Some of my buddies were down in PA a few weeks ago. They spoke very highly of a place (trail?) called Allegripis [sp?] - one of the best trails they'd ever ridden, anywhere, apparently.which way are you coming down? rothrock isn't too far from what i've been told and is a good ride.

Its May, even if it is 98 degrees won't the water still be balls cold?yea, i was confused by it at first as well.
but it is a pretty awesome trail network. hopefully the weather will be warm enough that you can swim in the lake after riding.
i've only been there in July. was still pretty cold then. feels awesome after a several hour ride.Its May, even if it is 98 degrees won't the water still be balls cold?
Sweet.If you are up for the epic that is pretty cool you get taken out by boat to a drop off point...
it might be a little late to do it, but there are house boats to rent.Sweet.
Buddy mentioned this. Is it first come first serve and limited numbers? What time does it leave? Which day? Details my friend, details.
No house boats for us.it might be a little late to do it, but there are house boats to rent.
Knock off the Coopers Gap epic...which way are you coming down? rothrock isn't too far from what i've been told and is a good ride.
