Chattanooga Area Ride This Saturday Oct 20

[DriftDragon]

Where to meet guys? I don't know the area.

[DriftDragon]

And as if I actually care but will I get hammered on my gsa?

[Sr. Jman]

Can we all do 5:30 at the trailhead? I think that will give us enough time to have some fun. If anyone wants/can go early they could just loop back and meet the rest at 530. Thinking out loud here.

As far as taking the gs, I don't really know as I haven't been there in years. I think it's pretty muddy and rutted with some steep rocky stuff that can be avoided with a map and some patience. Maybe Doulos will chime in here. He's been there recently.

Calling Doulos....

See you there Jman.

[Sr. Jman]

Ok, word is that a gsa should be able to run this assuming a decent rider. I say come on.

It's GS-able, but a few sections are a bit rough.

This is a redundant question. GS's can do everything. No need to ask.

There are two gravel access roads in the 'park'. The rest are double-track ATV trails. Most of them are pretty well groomed. One or two have a couple of rocky sections, there are a couple of steep bits, but you should be fine. It is pay-to-ride, so bring your $4.00

I'll be there for sure. I may show about 430ish, ride for a bit, and circle back to the parking lot to meet whomever shows.

[MrTwisty]

I've already got the bike loaded with my riding gear. I'll change from my work clothes to my riding gear at work and go straight there, which should put me there somewhere around 4:30 - 4:45. I'll be riding the DRZ because the KTM has a candle for a headlight and it may be dark on the ride home.

While it is true me asking "will I get hammered on my gs" is a redundant question, did you have to say it was?!? lol. Hope to see you guys there if I can find it in time!

How come you're not coming Tn3Sport?

[DriftDragon]

That was fun!: clap

Thanks guys for the invite. I think that may be the first time I left work early to meet anyone for something fun in six years. I normally travel so much during the week I don't get the opportunity. I really enjoyed it! Great job leading us Twisty! Thanks for watching out for me everyone else!

[MrTwisty]

Great ride today, and a bigger turn out than I expected. The only pics I got was at the water crossing. I'll post them up tomorrow. It was a cold ride home and after a hot shower, I'm ready to go night-night.

Great job keeping that GS upright DriftDragon.

Hey now, just wanted to offer up a wave of the hand & say hey, ya'll were nearly in my back door (Mt. Eagle area), looked like it was a great day for a ride, keep on post'n & give me some motivation to get my bike back in run'n shape.

Good stuff ya'll.

[MrTwisty]

Okay, as promised, here are the pics I took of the water crossing. Unfortunately, this was the only time I got the camera out.
