Come see why the Rattlesnake Enduro was chosen as the 2007 EotY. This year, we have trail not seen in some time - along with all the great accomodations the town of Cross Fork and Quiet Oaks Campgrounds offers. I've riden all the sections earlier this year and came out with a big smile.

Please come up with the family and friends to enjoy our 9 cases of artillery to cause mass explosions in the sky on Saturday night too!

For more information concerning the club, Quiet Oaks and surrounding area, please patronize our website at http://www.ber.us/
