Leaving around the 30th. Plan on about a week or so. Just have to see what's happening this year. Might be worth a couple of extra days. I try to stay flexible and adapt to what's going on. I've found I enjoy it a lot more that way. No real schedule, just ride, check things out, and enjoy the entire event.
