I have said this many times - probably not in public, however. Million 
Pines is one of the best rides anywhere. Wesley does a fantastic job. 
The entire ride is on private land! The people of Soperton, GA welcome 
us and allow us the opportunity to ride in their community. This is the 
true spirit of community and endurance.

As far as the food - none better. As far as Southern hostility - none 
better.

Great ride and great people.
