Bonktoberfest

The annual EarthRiders trip to an IMBA Epic trail system is the weekend of October 10. Bonktoberfest will be travelling to the Mt. Ida, Arkansas area this year. In this area there are well over 100 miles of single track to ride. The well known trails in the area are The Womble, Ouachita, and La Vista. There are many other smaller systems in the area as well.

We have an entire cabin complex at Fishing Village reserved for EarthRiders. The cabins will be $25 a night per person to ER members with a limit of 25 cabin beds available. Overflow can tent camp for free or you can tent camp if you aren't into the cabin thing. EarthRiders is supplementing some of the cabin costs and that is how we are able to offer them for $25 per person per night. ER will also be picking up the tent camping fees. The cabin's won't last long. You have to be an EarthRider member for first dibs on a cabin spot.

I know that there is already of a group of at least 15 riders going this year. This will be a lot of fun with new trails to explore since we have had the event at Syllamo the past 4 years. Get your kitchen pass approved and head on down with us in October.
