So, who's going? I suppose I'm one of the organizers, and I guess as the
only forumite who's doing organizing, I'll be the one to make the
official thread. There's a lot of information available from
www.blackhills.unicyclist.com, which is the main website. It SHOULD be
updated with the Sunday trail description as soon as I can get my
brother to do it. I think one has been written up, and I will post it
here.
Lodging has been arrainged at 'Lake Park Campground and Cabins'
(http://www.lakeparkcampground.com/) , but we didn't manage to make any
reservations. I'm not sure if they are sold out for that weekend yet, as
business heats up for tourism around this time, so if you want to camp
there you should probably make reservations ASAP.
Chances are that there will be some kind of good ride to do Friday
afternoon or evening. The details of Saturday's ride are on the website,
along with various pictures. More pictures of both Saturday's and
Sunday's rides can be found in my 'gallery.'

As for Sunday's ride, it is a total of 11 miles. It's mostly fast
singletrack MUni, so without very many technical areas, so everyone who
has one is encouraged to bring their 29er. The trail has an overall
vertical drop of approximately 1700 feet, with some uphills scattered
throughout. The highlight of the ride is a 2 mile medium grade descent
into Bulldog Gulch. The descent is mostly covered with hand sized loose
rocks, which make the ride very interesting. After descending into the
gulch, there are two small stream crossings, followed by some smooth
uphill. after many switchback contortions, the trail finally drops down
toward the highway, which it passes under, and continues mostly flat to
the bottom, where there is a large parking lot.
We have arranged to get a bus shuttle for this ride from Jesse Hansen of
Rushmore Bicycles. This will probably cost around 3-5 dollars, but would
be very handy, because everyone can leave their cars at the bottom of
the trail and ride the bus to the top.
We have designed tshirts, which will be available from anybody in my
family. You can get them when you register. The prices are to be
determined, but I'll post them, as well as pictures of the shirts in
this thread later.
