ROLL CALL .... post that you realize you are 2 weeks out from a trip and that you are paying attention.
THESE EVENTS ARE IN PLANNING AND DISCUSSION RIGHT UP TO THE GO DAY -- THE CONCRETE HAS NOT SET COMPLETELY YET UNTIL IT IS OVER. I am still plugging in names as people show interest, this gives us a tool for seeing who is really going plus the folks who are going can start the refinement process on dates and activities.
So far we got the following items left in the rough order of doing them. Adding something is easy,
talk it up some, put a firm date to it and we will see if folks are interested by if they sign up for it.
Kickstand Lodge June 14-18 Dave, Oldfeller, MM, Stewmills, RaleighGuy, Badwolf

For East Coast beginners, this is one of the closest (and the BEST) Southeastern trip possible. Some have argued the area is the BEST BIKING IN AMERICA and I might have to agree with them.
We also have a 1 day (2 man) prequel of sorts planned on June 12th with Oldfeller and MM going and checking out the Santeetlah Lake free camping, since
until you have actually done it you really can't speak to it pro or con.
So, MMRanch and Oldfeller meeting at the "HUB" in Robbinsville on Monday June 12th.
Dave is going to the KSL on Tuesday June 13th...... He might even be able to leave after work on Monday the 12th and get into the are before midnight and sleep in the Deals Gap parking lot.
Badwolf and Stewmills are arriving late on Thursday, June 15th.
