RFP for date/location of 2019 Vsalon Nomads ride

[Too Tall]

Adding a Poll to collect available dates for a VSalon Nomads ride.

Basic Outline:

Locale will be near Michaux State Forest.
Two days of riding. Offroad day one, Road Day two
RV or Tent friendly. No drop in riders allowed. You must camp.
No support, not a race, group ride. Ride #1 will be a beast, bring legs. Ride #2 is almost all road.
Could get eaten by bears or adopted by hillbillies with bears being the preferred option.

Michaux, my old stomping grounds. I helped lay out the first Iron Cross course...

Does offroad mean MTBs on trails or "gravel" bikes on state forest roads? Or some of both?

I blame you. I did three Iron Cross races. Did well one year, DNF'd the second and slogged thru a third with a pal...who had a concussion yikes. You are part of the reason I fell back in love with this area. OH BTW thanks for that hill scramble pal ;)

Back on topic...let's call it road biking on dirt and gravel and leave it at that. I've been riding a road bike with Compass Bon Jon tires and feel pretty d@mn good about the situation.

Sounds really sweet. Ordering appropriate bicycle to attend 2019 or 2020 event.
Will see if a framebuilder can maybe accommodate *this* upcoming springtime.
I will watch this thread carefully for information as it becomes available. :-)

Something like the "Huntsman" Kris @fortyfour makes would be the benchmark for day one.

Super excited about this. Michaux is my local playground. The riding, road, gravel, or mountain biking is as good as it gets. Beyond the cycling there is a lot to see and do in the area. The Appalachian trail goes through the state forest, along with many other hiking trails. Kayaking on Long Pine reservoir. Gettysburg is close by for the Civil War buff. Looking forward to sharing this hidden gem with some like minded folks.

As far as the hillbillies, this ain't the south, but don't be surprised to see a rebel flag or two.

I might have to give Kris at 44 bikes a call to see what his wait list is like. A Ti huntsman would be a sweet ride for the forest service roads.
