Tons of stuff in the works but nothing final yet.
There is always a road race up the Memorial hwy. that weekend that brings in like 400+ roadies.
We want to have a festival to celebrate the start of the biking season in Lake Placid/Wilmington. Kind of like the Sea Otter without races).
Now that we have the dirt jumps (maybe have a competition there) and the new x-c trails (group rides), we want to have the bike manufacturers set up demo days too. Now throw in some live music, beer, trials shows and a couple of bike films. Also anything else we can think of to make this a true festival.

I have been in contact with some pros we want to get here, but I will wait till it's final before I do any name dropping.
