Still very early Tim, but at this point it looks like we are gonna have quite a few. Of course, a lot can happen in the time between now and then.


I am working with Baker to line up rides as he knows the area better than I do. We already have a few days planned and there are several options as far as after the days rides are done.


There's a casino just down the road in Cherokee for one..

We are looking into stuff to do for the first week. Probably end up renting a car for the two weeks and a bike for the last week. That way we have a way to get back to the airport to fly home.
