Rumble in the Jungle Race Reminders

It's only 2 days away - the Campmor H2H Race #7 - the Rumble in the Jungle! The trails in Jungle Habitat are all groomed, marked and ready to ride. All we need now is you! Before you come, we have three reminders for you.

First - we hope you read about our food drive. If possible, please bring a canned or other non- perishable item with you to the race so we can help re-stock our local food pantry. We know times are tough, but we also know we have a great community - let's show everyone else how big our hearts are!

Secondly, esp. for those who are pre-riding on Saturday, there is an airshow taking place next door at the Greenwood Lake Airport. The spectators will be parking in the Jungle Habitat lot on Saturday only. If you are coming to pre-ride, expect extra traffic in and out, and possible parking complications. Just leave yourself some extra time.

Lastly, on Sunday, if you are racing early, then hoping to catch the air show, you must move your car out of the JH lot. Our permit dictates that the gates be closed by 4 p.m., and your car will be locked in if you leave it in the lot. The NJ State Park supervisor went through a lot of trouble to make sure we wouldn't have to deal with air show spectator parking during our event, and we really want to respect their wishes to have those gates locked at 4 p.m. If your car gets locked in, you'll have to call the police to let you out, and no one likes doing that! We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

As a way to whet your appetite for Sunday, have a look at the video of riding at Jungle Habitat made by Art and Ellen White. It's just great - make sure your speakers are on! http://gallery.me.com/ellenandart#100187 . Thanks Art and Ellen - lovely work as always!

As always, any questions, let us know. Other than a bit of rain predicted for Sat. night, our day looks good - hope to see lots of you out there!

The trails actually came out of it ok - it hadn't rained all week, so they weren't too soft or chewed up to start with.

Next year we'll try to order up some better weather for everyone! Thanks for coming out!
