Well we're half way to GSSE 2014!

We've been talking about it for a couple of years and the idea is getting some traction with the core group so we wanted to present the idea to you guys...

We would like to move GSSE 14 to Golden Mtn Park in Sparta TN..

Since we held GSSE-W there a few years back this park has rapidly become my favorite place to ride.

The there are trails for everyone from open diffs to bounty hills..
There are bunkhouses available inside the park as well as pavilions with power, running water and close proximity to restrooms and bathhouses…
The park is approximately 550 acres spiderwebbed with trails.
Parts stores are less than 20 minutes away..
Almost every time we've been to GMP we are the only ones in the park and pretty much have run of the place..
rules are a bit more relaxed and the wheeling is positively badass!

check out the park website at http://www.goldenmountainpark.com and let us know what you think of the move..

What we'd like to do is have a pavilion rented for the group as a central camp/hangout/garage. Those that want to camp out can pile in and around the pavilions and those that want bunkhouses can do that too all within the park.. the group won't get divided up the way it tends to at Harlan..

The main reasons for moving away from Harlan are that nothings changed up there in forever, most of us are burnt out on running the same trails.. travel times should be the same or less for most of our regulars.. GMP offers quite a bit more privacy for shenanigans and all the trails are super close to camp so no hour long drive out to lions den just to do one trail and come back..

The only downside to GMP is when its wet, you best stay in camp because the mud is the slickest substance on earth but it dries out pretty quickly and its easy to get a lot of wheeling done once it dries out..

To me the only downside to moving GSSE away from Harlan is not having an 18/hr day full service restaurant in camp.

That said GMP f-ing rocks and this will be an awesome event. GMP has amenities galore (think abandoned summer camp) with tons of awesome trails in a nice compact area without being completely on top of each other.

I'm all for GMP. I've been wanting to check that park for a while so this would be as good a reason as any. Is it too early to say roughly what the dates would be?

I haven't made it to one yet, I'm going to try plan for it. It's early enough to be before we have to move one of our kids to college.

I've put in a request to reserve Pavilion #3. We'll have it Thurs night thru Sun morning. Here is a link to info on it:
http://www.goldenmountainpark.com/rates/pavilion-3/

There is enough room for everyone to camp at or around this pavilion if you want. The nightly rate is $70. We will take donations based on attendance numbers. You will still be required to pay the daily riding fees.
Rates:

So is there gonna be some sort of collective meal or something?

Pearce
07-28-2014, 08:41 AM
If you bring it.
No, not ordering in. But there is a charcoal grill. When we are at GMP everyone usually has enough to share with the group and give us some variety.

ATL ZJ
07-28-2014, 12:00 PM
How many grills are there if people want to cook multiple things at once?

zjeepin

There's a charcoal grill at the pavilion.. sometimes theres a propane one as well…sometimes.. I'll have my camp grill and stove as usual

How many heads are we talkin about now?
was thinking about bringin yummy burgers but didnt wanna either leave someone out or spend too much.
I dont see Travis me or Seanzy in Pearce's last list, though maybe his list was just rigs

ATL ZJ
07-29-2014, 05:37 PM
I think there will be a dozen plus. There are others also not on the list.

IMO if the number of attendees exceeds the number of meals it doesn't make sense for everyone to try to bring an entire meal for all attendees. Maybe a part of a meal but I wouldn't expect anyone to spend their whole life savings feeding an army.

I was also planning to bring some burgers and veggies to grill and share but I'm sure they won't be as yummy as yours...

Pearce
07-29-2014, 08:53 PM
I think cam's numbers are about right. There are a few that said they are coming now that i didnt post up. Bryan is out and Grant is still unknown. The only thing I didn't buy for was lunch, so if someone wants to grab some stuff that would help. I can also always save left overs, or cook hot dogs. haha


Also, at the request of GMP please bring your waivers filled out. You can download them from their website.
And the pavilion is PAID FOR. $210. I would appreciate some donations once we see how many show up. Thank You, Drive Thru :cool:
If anyone has folding tables that may be a good idea to bring. Or we could steel some from the other pavilions. Table space is a good thing to have.
Finally weather is looking fantastic!

LOADED AND READY TO GO!!!
