Camping out?

3/27/2014

For those who are coming into "town" the night before and would like to camp out, there will be camping available at the farmstead where the ride will begin and finish.  This farmstead isn't a state park, but Brent and Yogi, the couple who reside there, have kindly given permission to people to pitch a tent or sleep in their car on their property.  There aren't any showers or camper hook-ups available, but there will be a port-a-potty set up on the grounds.  If you wish to have a campfire, you should be fine there too.  If there is a weather emergency you can fine refuge in a barn. Brent and Yogi are both awesome individuals, and they will likely be most hospitable, but please do respect their property and "leave no trace."

Don't expect to find a whole lot in terms of entertainment or fine dining while in Milledgeville, it's a pretty small town.  They do have a pizza place, a couple of bars, and a Casey's (which is really all you need).  Sterling will be the closest "big" city.  If you need food like supplies, make sure you stop at the Krogers on Route 40 as you are heading north out of town.  If you need any last minute bike supplies, Mead's Bike Shop is also on Route 40 in downtown Sterling.  But they do close at 3:00 on Saturdays, so you may be out of luck if you come into town in the evening.

The farmstead is about 3 miles north of route 40 on Otter Creek Rd.  Be sure to look carefully for this turn as you head out of town, it comes up on you quickly.  If you have any specific questions regarding camping out the night before, feel free to contact me.
