Thanks, Jamis! you can link to the festival site through the PAMBA site. It is in a work in progress and is changing daily with information as it becomes available.

Should be a good time. Trek, Giant and Ellsworth will all have demo bikes available. Guided rides at all the area trails, etc. More info to come, but please check it out.

I'm in. Got a old riding partner on the fence. and I beleive the Nortsida Ridaz are going, or some of us...

Feeling like a lazy lil bitch, so signing up is a great incentive to get in shape.

All remodelling work and no play makes SOGOAK a fat crabby dull boy.
