Western KY DS riders between the rivers

I have been hitting LBL roads hard trying to map out a Rally for next year.

I may do a run from Aurora this weekend.

What's up Richard, I too have been hitting up LBL... I've got a little mapped out but most of the trails out there run east and west and usually dead end in one of the lakes. I was trying to find some more dirt roads down there versus gravel/pavement.

I saw the camping trip pics. I was jealous. My trips have been all business.

Just started a "West Kentucky Dual Sport" Club on Facebook, so if your in the West KY, Southern IL, South West Mo. region give me your name and I'll add you to the list. We will hopefully be doing rides and camping whenever anyone can. I am usually pretty tied up with family stuff so I'm trying to get my friends some people to ride with when I can't make it.

Little Egypt Off Road (LEOR)is between Marion and Harrisburg IL, at Crab Orchard(the town, not the lake). They have around 1000 acres of land, it is mostly coal mine spoils. There is a motocross track and a kiddie track near the parking area, and several miles of single track trails that are pretty challenging.

Thanks Ross! We'll have to check it out. Is it easier than Turkey Bay? The rocks up there don't play nice with me!!

West Paducah here too.

There's a small group of us from the area who ride dual sports that meet Saturday mornings around 8am at Little Castle in Lone Oak. We're leaving for Arkansas Saturday morning for a week so we won't be there this or next Saturday, but will the next (June 30 I think) but you're welcome to join us. We usually have at least 6-8 folks there.

Bump....
Join the guys for breakfast at Lone Oak Little Castle around 8am this Saturday if you wanna!

PM me if you have questions.

I'll be there.

Had a good time meeting the new riders this morning, thanks for the invite. Hopefully we can all get together and ride once it gets below oven temps outside.

Ya'll come on back now, y'hear!?

I'm from Clinton and would like to meet up with new riding partners in this area. Feel like a new rider, bikes been collecting dust last few years but I'm itching to ride again. Is the Little Castle meet happening this Saturday? Not sure at this point if I'd be able to make it or not but that's my plan.

Yessir, the guys are meeting around 8am. I'll be out of town and will miss this Saturday. The waitresses and cashier can point you to the Saturday bike table if you ask (they usually sit over in smoking section.) If we can ever get some rain we're hoping to do some dirt rides soon.

Sorry for cross-posting, and I know that several of you are already aware, but for those not yet:

***THE BEST OF LBL(NORTH) DIRT AND GRAVEL!***

Where: Central Welcome Station Parking Lot

When: 0930 Saturday Feb 9 (Kick stands up 1000)

What: 100 ish miles of the best dirt and gravel the North End of LBL has to offer. See map attached! We will be riding the yellow loop on the east side of the trace going and the west coming back. I'm a mountain biker and I can do the whole loop drinking water and snacking on a protein bar. We will however get near to Grand Rivers and could easily jump off the loop and eat lunch! There is something here for everyone. The big bikes don't have to do the jeep trails and could meet us at the next connector. We will inevitability make some wrong turns along the way, but those just make it all the more fun! I will have some maps to hand those that come. See you there!
