I do know two people who have gone there and said that the permit is strictly enforced. I think they said that full sus wasn't specifically mentioned, but the permit officer did require a "mountain bike". It would be worth seeing what they mean by that:
They must mean knobby tires. I wonder if they would discount drop bars, even if the bike they were on had 2" Atlantis-style tires. That's the big IF for me. I'm pretty certain that they would not approve a permit for a rough-rider style underbiker bike intending to go off-road with Jack Browns, for example. If I do it someday, I'll try to get away with my 700x40 knobby Hillborne with Bullmoose bars. I'm guessing it would satisfy their "mountain bike" criteria, but I'll attempt to check with someone by phone or e-mail first. Maybe a good way to do it would be to get in e-mail contact with the permit official and send a picture of the bike. I'm guessing that it's fairly common for people to have digital photos of their bikes. : ) -Jim W.
