You have to camp, it’s part of the experience. As the cadre boys told me when I did it “Trust me.”Who's in for this years Wilderness 101 in July?

LOL My idea of camping is sleeping in a local roach motel. I can barely sleep as it is. Sleeping in a tent and then pedalling for 100 miles doesnt sound like fun.You have to camp, it’s part of the experience. As the cadre boys told me when I did it “Trust me.”
Thanks brother. I seen those places in State College. Was wondering if there was a closer place i missed.Yes the nearest hotel/motel options are in State College which is a PITA and it takes away from the whole scene. I'll be there suffering again this year and am looking forward to it. River beers are the best at the end.

LOLI said the same thing, but to echo what others before me have posted, it is the only way to do it.
You won't sleep well the night before anyway, so whats the difference? Nothing beats Chris softly banging the gong to wake up everyone in the AM.
LOL. Turbo is his bff. He gets to spoon with him!Or we can talk Sven into bringing the camper. That may be your best bet. But then you have to spoon with him...
Or watch your front depending on spoon positioning.Now now, boys. There's plenty of spoons to go around.
Looks like I need a knife & to watch my back...
Hmm Looks like I may have to sleep on the roof of the camper like Snoopy with my bike.Or watch your front depending on spoon positioning.
Longer climbs and descents, and a few more rocks than FC. Never did W101 but just did TSE last week that uses a lot of the same trails.How technical is the W101 course? I've raced French Creek- similar to this?
Wilderness is pretty “easy” for an NUE tech wise. It does have a couple tough ones like “noname” and “baby”. It starts with 30-40 ish miles of gravel roads. Only the Stillhouse climb is steep and bitchy. The fact that it’s a 100 miles is the tough part, not the tech. A 100 mile mtb race is very mental when u get in a dark place. The good thing is well stocked aid stations. It will suck at times but u will survive.How technical is the W101 course? I've raced French Creek- similar to this?
