AMA National Dual Sport at Windrock / Coal Creek, East Tennessee

June 14th and 15th there will be a round of the AMA National Dual Sport series at Windrock Park (formerly known as Coal Creek) in Oliver Springs, Tenn. (just outside of Oak Ridge). The trails will be a combination of ATV trails, Jeep Roads, and very little pavement. The advanced sections will be single track. The campground has cabins, RV sites with full hook-ups, and tent camping also. For camping info contact windrockpark.com , or call 865-435-1251.
The ride is over 2 days, with 100 miles on Saturday, and 70 miles on Sunday. This is going to be a very "trail heavy" dual sport. Knobbie tires are highly recommended, don't try the advanced sections without them. It is a dual sport ride, not an adventure ride. From what I am hearing from the guys who made the route, you may not want to bring a big BMW on this ride.
 2 day pre entry is $100, day of the ride $110. 1 day pre-entry is $55, day of the ride $60. A  $17 Windrock Park permit is also required. If you ride you will need a route sheet holder for your bike.
