I am planning a trip to Rays the weekend of the 7th. I will probably go up Saturday morning the 7th and stay at the holiday inn Saturday night. Rays has an awesome deal with the hotel room. It is $69 if you ride saturday and check in Saturday night check out and ride sunday. More info here http://raysmtb.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6&Itemid=7
If you dont have a bike it is no big deal because they have rental available for $10 a day and they are really nice bikes that are replaced yearly. If you have any questions ask me or go here http://www.raysmtb.com/
