    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Due to the size of my group and the rigs, we will be at Windrock.
    A couple guys a have trailers with purpose built rock crawlers (leaving mine at home).
    Parking logistics can be a nightmare..one buddy drives a semi lol

    That's hardcore rock crawling, we used to go to races in toter home.
    Not as cool as just a bare semi, but nice.

    Very slim possibility but I may be completed with some rake & ride gnardog lines when y'all come to town. Point and shoot city-approved "trails" lol

    Think ski resort terrain park. Short stacked run down, easy climb back up

    I'd like to set my truck up for camping and ride from the campsite if possible? Or can someone shuttle with bikes? I'm old and my bike is too. Is the a B group for people that can't peddle very far? I think I'm about an hour and half-ish away from Windrock. We stayed in Townsend last weekend.

    I’m not a good at climbing or cardio, and @tweakit88 is right there with me. We won’t leave you. I think we can be pedaling from the campsite, but should be capable of shuttling as well. I have a tailgate pad for 6 bikes and a truck for 5 people.

    Did my first ride of 2021 on Sunday and a short trail run yesterday. Trying to get back in shape to make the most of Knoxville.

    I just watched a video of some knoxville trails. I definitely want to be in shape to get the most out of it.
    So much to ride in such little time.

    @honda50r, how many miles should we expect to pedal daily? Also, what's chance we get lucky and someone takes us to top of devils racetrack?

    What do you mean get lucky? Everyone can go to the top of it. I assumed we would be riding it.

    based on personal experience and reading the maps the best I can, I’d estimate 15ish miles a day around Knoxville if we shuttle to the trailheads. If we ride out of camp and go literally everywhere by bike I’d assume more
