Limited aupport trucks will be available, but if you have a rickety (OK, most of our bikes are pretty rickety, but if you KNOW you don't have a chance of making it to the Krispy Kreme, let alone 50+ miles to the site), please truck it down or leave earlier.

E.J. Karz is a bar and restaurant, and they will be open for lunch and dinner throughout the weekend. They serve awesome roadhouse food –burgers, fried chicken, etc.– at reasonable prices. There might be some other restaraunts around, but we sure don't know why you'd want to eat anywhere else!

1:00am: E.J. Karz' bar closes, 22LSC will provide a keg. Carry-out is available from E.J. Karz. They will be well-stocked, and we imagine Rae will still be surly in a lovable-kinda-way. NO OUTSIDE LIQUOR or BEER is allowed at the site, and we will crack down. Violators will lose their wristbands, no refund. The venue was exceedingly right-on last year, and has bent over backwards to accomodate us. Their one request is that we purchase all alcohol from them. It's a great place and their prices are reasonable, so please cooperate. Do not fear a beer shortage. There will be no such thing. They learned their lesson last year.
