Similar to last year, this event will align with GSMTR event happening June 12-14. It will include plenty of off-road shenanigans and an optional day in the downhill bike park.
We will not actually be attending the GSMTR event, but here's the link for more info. I have a group of friends that attend each year. The energy and vibes of this event make for a really fun weekend to be there. https://stlca.org/gsmtr/
We're going to make a few slight changes this year. There's talk about getting a cabin, or several cabins if needed, instead of camping. Last year, we realized that it would be nice to have certain amenities such as AC and showers.
The initial group will be limited to mid-size trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps. Depending on the turnout, we may plan separate group rides for the full-size rigs.
This is a free event, so you are responsible for park and camping fees.
This is a Class 3 to 4 event depending on attendees.
