Attn. Vultures Knob, Ohio veterans

I'm going to be attending a MTB festival at Vultures Knob on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of May. Sounds
like a great time, with day and evening group rides all weekend and Gary Fisher, Trek, and Klein
bikes having demo bikes available. I'm planning on finally giving the 29" bikes a try. Anyway, just
wondering what veteran riders from that area would recommend me to bring as far as which bike. The
choices are my Kona Stinky, Giant Rainier, or my Redline Monocog single speed (which I'll probably
bring anyway). Just wondering what type of terrain I'm looking at, i.e. technical, etc. Any info
would be greatly appreciated.

Whoever named that place "Vulture's Knob" clearly knows NOTHING about biology!

LOL, Fisher, Trek, and Klein! From the department of redundancy department...

Bring all the bikes, and either:
A) Look like a total bike pimp (not easily done)
B) Look like philty poseur scum (that's accomplished with little effort)

If Trek is demo-ing, then you know the Stinky will be overkill - especially since all the photos
I've seen are of wide smooth singletrack. Grab the Ranier and the ABMX.
