This is the center of it all. They still have cabins available (need a reservation) and tent camping is plentiful. They treated us great two years ago and are looking forward to having us again.
I am planning on putting together a few loop rides and posting those by this weekend.
If you have any questions, please contact me:
paulbielicki@yahoo.comPlease let me know if you are attending...

Here are a couple of rides I've put together for this week. I know the links are rather long but this is the only way I could figure out how to do this.
And a big thank you to Wayne at America Rides Maps for putting together such great maps. :hello2
The Diamondback (I know this is not the published loop but it still takes you down NC-226A)
