We have no idea (or control!) as to what models and sizes they bring on the trailer, unfortunately. They go from event to event, and I know they sometimes swap models in and out, so ....

No rain date. we are on for Sunday. I'm sure it will dampen attendance, We will ride in the rain, but if the hurricane swings inland and we get a state of emergency, all bets are off. Luckily, Jungle handles rain well.

Been tweaking the rides, to avoid conflicts and get everyone back in time. I want to see who can ride the King of the Jungle route.

Ride Guide
Because I said so.
Introduction
In order to minimize conflict and insure riders have able time to demo bikes and visit vendors we have put together this quick ride guide.
All routes are on Trailforks at http://www.trailforks.com/region/jungle-habitat/routes/ You can use the trailforks app, or downlaod a kml or gpx file from each route page.
Demo Loop is Ditch Witch to Warthog counterclockwise. Should take approximately 20-45 minutes.
Beginner Rides
Designed for true beginners, this loop avoids the rock gardens on Warthog while providing a longer ride than just Jungle Junction.
Ditch Witch to Warthog, Exit Warthog at quad trail, cut diagonally across the parking lot to the quad trail used in the races right next to Warthog. Ride this quad trail to Jungle Junction, Ride anywhere in Jungle Junction but make way to Safari 1. Ride the road up to Tiger Pen, enter Tiger Pen here or for an easier ride just off the road in the pen. At Tigerfish Rocks head towards Boon, but turn Left before the fence, Ride along the baboon fenceline to and make a right onto Safari 1 road and ride down and right turn into Snake (part of the singletrack race course between the roads). Turn Left on Safari 1 and left again into Jungle Junction. Make a right and exit through the tunnels.
Kathi
Kathi, for your beginner rides with instruction, you might want to stay on Warthog and head through the rock gardens.
Intermediate Rides.
Intermediate rides cover some of the best trails in jungle. This ride is designed to avoid blocking the advanced riders by immediately heading up Otter Slide. Otter Slide will be sued as a filter to separate faster for slower riders to split into two or more groups. DO NOT ride Rhino. If Rhino is added chances are the advanced ride will catch you and you won’t be back in time.
Look for blue flagging.
Ride the tunnels immediately to Otter Slide. Use Otter Slide to filter riders into one or more fast/slow groups. Tanks, Cages, Tiger Pen, Boon, Junkyard Dog, Dump Truck Hill, Boulderdash, Safari 1 to Lower Chute shortcut, Shute and back.
Intermediate Self Guided
Same as above but they can add in Rhino or Warthog. Fish should be good after the morning advanced ride goes through.
Advanced Ride
The Hammer ride or Tarzan King of the Jungle. This ride hits pretty much every trail in Jungle. There’s lot’s of advanced climbing. #noslackers.
Ride Ditch Witch to Warthog, Otter Slide, Rhino, Tanks, Cages Tiger Pen, at Tigerfish Rocks, make a sharp left onto Goat, across road to Debacle aka Lion, sharp left along road drop in on right along Fence line to a right Safari 1 Road, make another right to Hippo, Ride Hippo up to Fish, Ride Fish up to Boon, Boon, Junk Yard Dog, Dump Truck Hill, Boulderdash, Hippo, Safari 1 road to Lower Chute, Shute and back.

We agree, jumpa, and they have been there in the past - just circumstances beyond our control this year. ::::sad face::::
There is loop specifically for demos. This is to free up the fleets for other riders. When they go out on group rides the bike is gone too long and others cant throw a leg over them.

Because group rides are at at least an hour and a half. That's too long for our vendors, it doesn't give other people enough of a chance to demo the bike. Demos shouldn't be out any longer than 45 minutes.
