Mid week arrival

Post by bruce_w » Wed Aug 21, 2013 9:42 pm

I'm planning on arriving Thursday. Will I be able to drive where I want to go inside BM (will the streets be open to cars) or will I have to park somewhere and walk?

You are allowed to drive to your camp site, but will need to park once you get there. From then on either walk or ride your bike.

I am pretty sure that would have been clearly laid out in the survival guide that I can only assume you have not looked at.

thanks for the link. It doesn't really specify late arrivals but does mention "after dark" but that could just mean monday night. I just want to make sure the roads wont be closed to cars b/c I've read some posts saying you cannot drive around during BM??

You can't drive around except to drive in and out. They are not that ridiculous.

Expect a LOT of traffic by then.
Plan on 2 mph.

Hi Bruce,

Wondering if you're still arriving mid-week? I noticed you also made another post about arriving earlier on Monday so not sure what your arrival status is but if you're still arriving Thursday I'm flying in Wednesday night and am looking for a ride to BM either that night or Thursday. I can pitch in for gas and anything else. Please let me know!

Adrian
