They have sports bars there? I thought it was a dry county.
Oliver Springs and Oakridge sell alcohol but oliver springs can't sell by the glass at restaurants.
Also can't sell before noon on sunday.

And if anyone should know...
I'm in!
I see what you mean. If 40 people paid and the trailer could only hold 20, then 20 are getting shafted.
If you are worried about it, then just arrange your own shuttle and no need to pay the $7. However, if there is one thing I know for a fact it is that after about 3-4 runs, the number of riders going back to the top starts to decrease dramatically. We usually never have an issue on there not being enough shuttle space, but we aren't really setup to guarantee dedicated shuttle space.

Isn't there a Hooters around to watch the UFC fight at? They have good wings. Or is this place that JeffD refered to just as good? You can not have a better day than riding the Rock all day and then eating wings while watching Brock Lesner destroy Randy Couture. Well, maybe if the above took place at this other "bar" 
that Doug talked about before.

Uh, the EC doesn't have boob-tubes, but it does have... well you can guess.
Don't know of a Hooters close by. But in Oak Ridge there is are a few crappy chain restaurants. There are a few sports bars as well. Our we could just take over someone's hotel room.
BTW, I hope some of you guys are going to try out Windrock Park's camping and cabins.

WR will be open to atv's and 4x4 action that weekend and any other weekend.
Camping is no longer allowed in the parking lot b\c they opened their own campground but it does have camping, RV sites and cabins for rent.
is there a place to set up tents?
Yes, at the campsite.
any photographers going to be there or should i get the weekend off?
Just wanted to bump this back to the top.
Don't forget we have 20 miles of new technical all-mtn singletrack for all of your non-DH buddies to come and enjoy in addition to all the DH trails you know and love.
Furthermore, we have a few new trail features for you to enjoy. Mark masterminded a new section paralleling the high speed section of the Windmill Trail that is full of swoopy berms and a few new jumps.
We plan on leaf blowing all the trails on Friday morning, so the trails will be buff and so much fun.

Mmmm candy store! Can't wait to get there.
I'm looking forward to crushing Doug's time from the top down. Oh yeah brotha, it's on!
Wow, we got some great bike companies int the South. Just got some emails back regarding donations to our raffle and everyone is stepping up big again. Cane Creek headsets, I9 standard J-Bend flange hubs, I9 DH rims, Specialized tires and components, Maxxis tires. This is going to be a good one.
We have also lined up one of our shuttle trucks and trailers.

If I make it I will for sure bring some shades for the raffle!! Super 8 allows dogs so I think I am good!
Yo Profro - Any schedule for events this weekend? I am bringing the "XC buddy" Along for some REAL fun,
He has an all mtn. bike and would like to hit the AM ride. Also might want to take a few DH runs
on a demo or borrowed bike. Just trying to see when-which day etc. the AM ride and when demo bikes may be there.

Don't know about demo bikes and who will have any. But the local SORBA chapter is leading a trail ride on Saturday. I think they will start around 1, but let me verify that. The ride will be around 20 miles and pretty technical. Not dangerous, but not a greenway ride either. The trail is about 60% pure Windrock singletrack and about 40% old doubletrack.
It is on like
Just hoping the weather holds up! This place is why you own a DH bike in the South...

DO NOT ALLOW WEATHER TO KEEP YOU AWAY
The ground is so dry right now, that any rain we get will only make the trails better. The leaves are still down and we plan on having a big leaf blowing party on Friday. So the leaves will keep the ground from getting too wet. I expect when we blow off the trails the dirt will be in top notch condition. Please, please do not let weather keep you away.

Thanks Doug, How Gnar is the AM singletrack? If you got skills galore can they be done on a HT with a Good Fork and some big tires?
Hardtails are fine. I wouldn't suggest DH tires or anything. Just good AM tires.
Count me in. Should be a fun time 
Hey Doug, what's the deal with your shuttle?
Hey Doug, what's the deal with your shuttle?
A local supporter of mtbs will have a truck and trailer. $7 per rider and you can get in all day. Plus the HGR guys will be running their truck and trailer. I think it will work just like last year. Of course anyone can shuttle themselves.
Cool, i'll prob be up friday. Can help with some leaf blowin
