How many SSers are planning to be there?

Neil, Jose and Justin are a given. Anyone else?

So, to confirm, we all need adventure passes to park at the meeting spot? Also, there is one group meeting at 7am and another at 9am? This threads getting long so just clarifying things.

Each car in the lot needs a pass.

7am at Loch Leven: closer to the bottom and climbing up to meet the rest of the group.

9am at the trailhead: The main ride with most starting here (and meeting the nut jobs who started at 7 and rode up to the trailhead )

I think I'll be there and if so I'll be on the SS and likely joining the 7am group if I can motivate. I'm running 32x21, but I might switch to 32x22. There's not a lot of flat riding, so you're either climbing or you're cruising down down fun singletrack.

I'm not a strong ss rider but I've done the Loch Leven route on my ss and it really was very easy. SART is a perfect ss ride for people who are used to riding ss. I have a new crankset and wheelset on my squish so I'm going to bring it. I'm still undecided about riding Loch Leven though as I don't want to get going that early. But if I wake up as usual (to damn early) I'll probably join the climbers.

Done SART once and it was a blast. I am 90% sure I'm in. If someone wants to carpool let me know. If not I have no problem heading up there alone.

I'll be riding my SS which is my only bike: 26" 32x18

So is the 9 am ride the one where you ride down SART then ride back up the fire road back to the cars? If so then I'll be doing the 9 am ride.

From the first SART ride I did

The 9am ride starts at the cars and rides up and turns around and rides back down and up the fire road to the cars.
According to my GPS on the last ride with Neil at SART it was 30.8 miles from the car.
