Are people camping on site or is anyone interested in a hotel room?

I'm going to drop my sign up form in the mail today. They need to arrive before Wednesday so it should have plenty of time.


Thanks,

I'm planning to freeze my butt off, camping. As this will be my first Hammer, what's the camping situation like? Is it all field, or will I have access to some trees, as I'd much prefer to sleep in my hammock as opposed to the cold, hard ground.

Is it a mistake to run fresh tires? I have an M59 and S12XC coming. It's that, or whatever half done tires I have sitting in the basement.

If you get there early enough on Friday you'll get a spot in the treed part. Late comers and big RV's get the field. Swing by the pop-up and I'll have a beer for you. Phoo and I are sharing a spot, with Godzilla. As for tires, it depends on your comfort level. There aren't any rocks!! But, there is a couple sections of deepish sand. :whoop:

Last time I rode in Jersey, directions were explicit: if you see water, go around, it might not have a bottom.

Ditto on the water. Sometimes, they are *really* deep. And sometimes, they *were* really deep before someone filled it full of cinder blocks and logs. Not in a malicious way, mind you, but so 4x4s can get through. But on a bike it doesn't matter the intent when you're flat on your ass.

It can be really cold at night, so whether you're in a tent or a hammock, you'll want to make sure that you have something under you to absorb body heat. Before sleeping, they usually have a HUGE bonfire that they feed with logs from a front loader, with a band. Last time, they also had a serve-yourself beer tap on the side of a firetruck. That may be a regular thing.
