organizing a ride in tennessee (june 19th)

matt we can meet in ringgold at the truck stop so we will have plenty of room to park i will get the address and post it later it is on hwy 41 just off i-75 exit 345. also there are outhouses but i would go in there with a loaded 12 gauge (it looks like snake heaven) but there are plenty of trees like most other places we go. food is prob. 15 or 20 min. away i usually pack a cooler. and the layout is one main gravel road that is 11 miles long and has trails that branch off both sides and 95% of them come back on down the main road it is a great setup.

That sounds like a plan, and I have no shame I can do my biz in the woods if needed. I will pack a cooler as well and yeah if you get the address I will plug it in to my gps and head that way. Thanks for the update! MuddyBuddy you should come! Most of us rode a couple of weeks ago and we had a lot of fun, so you should definitely join us! Gstaats are you coming on this one?

What is the closest hotel to the trials?

Pooing behind trees, a picnic lunch, and beautiful scenery closer to me than windrock and brimstone? IM THERE!!!!

Think I might if nothing goes wrong

Sounds like a nice ride is in the making. I might need to turn Pates place into my summer camp.

sounds like a good ideal yank.

Big R i sm not sure what the closest hotel is but as soon as i find out i will post it for you.

Thats awesome! Cuz when nature calls we must answer!

just got in from prentice cooper today. last minute decision to go there today and man was it great the perfect day for riding. no dust about 65 this morning and 75 around 2pm today found some new trails today one was only about a 1 1/2 miles long but it took 3 of us about 30 to 45 minutes to ride it some pretty nice rock crawling hill climbs. didn't have much time to scout today but there is some motels within 10 miles of the trail head but they were off Hwy 127 so not real sure what they were there is also several fast food resturants like BK and Krystals near the walmart all in the same place. and there is a nice picnic shelter in the middle of the park.

ALL IN ALL A GREAT DAY OF RIDING TODAY DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE.

Sounds good, come on the 19th!

hey guys one thing is it takes a good 45 minutes from ringgold to get there so we either need to meet around 800 or meet at walmart in chattanooga on Signal Mountain Rd @ 0900 then we would only be about 10 miles away. does it matter which we do? might be easier to meet at the walmart and be real close to the trail head. the walmart address is 501 Signal Mountain Rd. Chattanooga Tn 37405 let me know if you need any more info and if we can get a running list of who is going to try to go. thanks

Walmart sounds good to me!! My buddy might also be bringing his prowler with me ill let you know when i do!

That sounds good. What time are we saying we would meet there? Also what is the terrain like there? Is it a lot of mud or is it just trails and rocks?

0900 am at walmart will be good and it is mostly trail and rock but there is some mud but not much that i have found so far. as a matter of fact i have only found 1 deep mud hole the rest are not bad but fun.

308 miles 4 hours and 55 minutes.

sounds good, that should be fun then.

Rhinorider259 are there any hotels near the Walmart? Do they allow camping in the park?

i will have to find out what hotels are there as soon as i can and they do allow camping in the park but it is primative only i believe.

I thought you may have been out of town. Hope you had a good vacation. Guess the oil hasn't reached there yet? How many do we have for the ride?

possibly 4 or 5 of us from the club and a few people i know local on atv's i would say bare minimum 6 machines maybe up to 10

Cool I may be bringing someone also.
