| Shawn, there are a wealth of different very good riding areas in north TN. I don't think that should be 1000 miles, but IDK. | |

| Shawn Wilborns is a great place to ride. However it is limited, a lil over 100 miles I believe, on trails. (Sharpshooter if you read this, dont tase me bro!) To come up and ride for a couple of days or longer, you coming so far, drive the extra miles to Windrock. I am sure our trails are as limited as yours and Windrock is something you should do, at least once. The folks up in TN, NC, KY, and WV are truley lucky to have what they have. There is nothing in AL, or GA, that I am aware of, that compares. Someone can chime in who knows for sure but I believe I heard 1500 miles of connecting trails. in TN, KY, and NC. | |

| I just got home from Alabama. I can't believe you don't have any good place to ride. The north part of the state has mountains????? Shawn, We do have great places to ride. Dave is right, we are lucky. If you want to come up here and ride let me know. I will find someone to show you around. Let me see who that someone might be | |

| He lives in FL. R.................LOL. As an Alabama-native, it's pretty closed-minded as far as off-roading goes. Always has been that way, not sure why. |

Yeah pate, I was talking to Dave, I know Shawn is in FL. It is just hard to believe that you can't ride Al. It looks a lot like eastern KY. That is a bummer..... | |

| Shawn, we went to brimstone last year and it was worth every 800 miles one way to get there. We logged 150 miles and never did a night ride because we were alone. We are headed back up again May the 21 for 5 or 6 days to attend the white knuckle event if you are interested. | |

| I aint always been this way in AL. We had maybe a couple hundreds miles to ride less than ten years ago. Hunters and land owners have put the nix on the majority of the riding. Hard to say I blame them with the way people litter and just do basic stupid sh#t. Yes I do live in your foothills and there are places to ride but there has never been anything here like what you guys have. There are a couple of state parks that allow riding but still there is no comparison. | |
