START TIME MOVED TO 9AM - PLEASE BE EARLY AND READY TO RIDE IN THE MAIN PARKING LOT BY 9AM.

We'll be joining http://www.sharemtb.c... for the Hurkey Creek Memorial Day weekend camping and riding festivities.

If you would like ShareMTB to handle all of the camping arrangements for you, sign up at one of the following links:

$60 - Hurkey Creek for ShareMTB members
$70 - Hurkey Crek for non-share Members

If you sign up with ShareMTB, you'll get all of the following: 3 nights of camping, one dinner, one breakfast, drinks and a t-shirt.

Otherwise, if you would rather make camping arrangements yourself, or are just showing up to ride, read on.

If you've never been to Hurkey Creek, I'll tell you it's worth the drive from LA. Situated near the top of the 74 Hwy between Hemet and Palm Springs, and right across from Lake Hemet at approx 4500' elevation, this area is absolutely beautiful this time of year.

On Saturday, we'll be riding a cross-country loop that starts and ends at the campground where we'll be camping Saturday night. Plan on starting the first loop at 9AM. We'll have lunch after the first loop, and then do another loop. Please allow a lot of flexibility on start times! This isn't a "show up and ride" kind of day. Rather, it's a whole day adventure if you're not camping, and an all weekend adventure for the rest of us.

Also, other MTB groups will be riding there so you should have no problem finding somebody to do the loop with.

NOTE: On Sunday, if everyone is feeling up to it, we'll do the Thomas Mountain Loop. You can read about that trail here:
