Couple of places to check out.

I called and they say that the end of April into the beginning of May is a good time.  I heard that there may be a women's bike clinic sometime in the spring but two trips couldn't hurt.  The rally campsites are open then but which one? 150, 75 or 50 people.

We have extra camping gear... for anyone who needs it.

Sign me up.  I've got an extra tent if ya need it Rob.

Thanks Mike!   I can fit 4 and am willing to drive if anyone has a hitch rack.

Been there many times and a good portion of the time is a blur. 

Last time there Burak and i had an open course on the HP decent. There was a time trial just starting and we got a clear run all the way down before the racers made it that far. There are many other good and not so good trails nearby. I haven't had the chance to venture to the others yet.

Do go it is completely worth it.

Maybe they meant this clinic: Registration for the 2010 Midwest Women's Mountain Bike Clinic is now open!

http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=9764

Date: Sunday, June 13, 2010
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Where: Brown County State Park, Nashville, IN

The Midwest Women's Mountain Bike Clinic was founded in 2005 and is quickly becoming one of the most popular women's mountain bike events in the Midwest.  We strive to offer safe, responsible and effective guidance to riders of all skill levels, while also teaching the importance of trail etiquette, safety and advocacy.  We feel strongly that our volunteers, coaches and staff will lead the way as advocates for safe, organized and responsible mountain biking.

Check out the new event website at www.midwestwomensclinic.com for more info on the 2010 event!

I have a hitch rack (though no hitch, duh!) that you can borrow should I not be able to make it.

[TheNormsk]

I doubt I would be able to make it in April though I would really like to go.  May would probably be better for me.

Is there anything for non cycling families to do?  Just wondering what my (camping adverse wife) and 4 and 7 year olds could do if they were to come along...

I have a hitch rack (though no hitch, duh!) that you can borrow should I not be able to make it.

1.25" or 2"?  How many bikes will it hold?

[TheNormsk]

Its a Thule 917 T2 for 1 1/4 inch hitch.  It holds two bikes.

I got it for a trade, but I have yet to put a hitch on my car.  For now it is waiting patiently until that day.  Even if I can make the trip, the rack probably can still be borrowed as I doubt I will have my hitch by then.

1.25" or 2"?  How many bikes will it hold?

1.25" = 2 bike capacity
2" = 4 bike capacity

Out of the three we stayed at, I like the one at the end of the circle. Cant remember the number.

Site 1 is by the trail head but out in the open, site 2, then the circle is site 3, and most secluded.
4 & 5 back out.
