Hopefully some of the SC guys will chime in on the gulches. That could be a winner too. I would like to see the SHOP but am not sure who all would make it there or when their next open ride is.
Gulches is a nice place. It can be very slick if it has rained recently. I would check their Facebook for big event weekends, as it get crowded fast.

The SHOP and The Flats are both in Marion, NC. Flats is on the east side of Marion, SHOP is on the west side of Marion. Both have a mixture of trail types and allow primitive camping onsite. Flats has a hotel and amenities nearby for those that don't camp. SHOP is farther out from town, and therefore farther to get back to amenities.
Some dates that I already have on the calendar:
- May 13-15. Open ride at The Flats
- June 10-12. Open ride & SFWDA meet at The SHOP
- Oct 8-9. Toy Run at The SHOP.
- Sept 22-25. Dixie Run at Golden Mountain. If you haven't ever been to GMP or Dixie Run, it is worth the trip.
Would love to see/meet some folks at one of these events. Also, if you decide on a Gulches run, let me know. I wouldn't mind getting back down there.
