Memorial Day Fun Run

[SMRTIC]

OK guys, here's the scoop. The Memorial Day Fun Run will be May 25th-27th. This will be the 6th consecutive year that we have held this event in Oklahoma for all downhill disciplines. Now recently I moved to Kentucky, but I still wouldn't miss this awesome weekend for the world. The event takes place in Southeastern Oklahoma on the Talimena Drive. The road is a scenic byway that runs along the top of the Kiamichi Mts for over 50 miles. There is very little traffic to control and the pavement is super smooth. There are runs of all types represented from technical runs, to speed runs, and long runs. We always stay at a great campground at the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge on top of the mountain. I already have several sites reserved and it will cost next to nothing to stay at this great location with full facilities. We will also be renting a box truck to haul everybody and there equipment around in. After the long fun days of bombing the hills, we usually end them by sitting around the campfire, telling stories, and even watching DVD's. (Yes there is electricity at the campsites!) Typically, by the time we split up the campsite and truck expenses, this weekend only costs about $40 a person. You don't want to miss out on this! Oklahoma City and Tulsa are the 2 closest major airports to fly into.

The camp sites are reserved at the top of the mountain. This has always been a great weekend of downhilling. Butter smooth pavement and up to 16% grades.
