Hey everyone,
I have a few questions about how the fest works.

I'm very new to trail riding, I don't even think it's been a full month yet. I would like to catch the MTB 101 at 9 am. I've already pre-registered online (free T-shirt! ). How early do I need to get there? I'll be driving down (over?) from Nevada, IA so I do have a bit a trip ahead of me.

The Bike Demo rides and the group trail rides start at 10 AM. Are either of these a hit or miss type of event or can I go on one of the group rides and try one of the demo bikes later in the day?

To go along with the group rides:
How fast are the fast and half fast rides?
Are we able to bike to the other trail systems, will there be a shuttle service or do we drive there?

I think that's all I have for now.

Thanks!
Jared
