    Default Camping & Racing

    The family had lots of fun racing(novice) at Sylvan. I am going to make an attempt to hit all the races this year and do some camping at the same time! Feel free to join us. Schedule reminds of the way it was 10-12 years ago with PAMBA and FORC driving the bus.

    Already booked a camping cabin at Spring Lake.
    Will camp at Jubilee State Park. Looks like the place is a bit neglected and wont fill up.
    Comlara, the CORBA race looks like a great campground with swimming pond and great lake for paddling.
    How great would it be for us all to get back and camp at Farmdale!?

    Hope to meet some new folks, and reconnect those of us that used to do this a DECADE ago?!?

    Later,

    Farmdale was always a great time. It's on my calendar for this year.

    There's a race at Farmdale? How do we learn more?

    Backing out of the fest... Little interest from others, increasing chance of rain, and public info about the fest itself is lacking (is it even happening?). Downhill race has also been cancelled according to inside sources. Heading to Dubuque instead if rain stays away.

    We are not going either. I am not feeling well enough to race, camping only available for one night, no downhill race to watch.
