Georgia Bronco

Looking to put something together or tag along for a trail ride the weekend of the 31st. Looks to be getting warmer as of now (but that likely could change).

Will be looking to make a trek up to Chattanooga once Haley road opens back up in Mid March. If anyone knows of any other worthwhile trails between there and Atlanta let it be known.

I've been thinking about a ride and that weekend has no football, so could be nice. If Chatt is too far for some, maybe some trails around the Blue Ridge area? The trails I mentioned a few weeks ago still hold and should be decent. I just want to get out.

@JF Bronc

@JF Bronc Saturday works for me, I think i got confused yesterday thinking we might do it today. Completely open next weekend

@JF Bronc

@JF Bronc Saturday is preferred, but if everyone else feels Sunday is best, I’m there. Will be fun to wheel with you guys again.

@MadMan4BamaNATL

@MadMan4BamaNATL I'd prefer Saturday myself think I'm having to travel that following week for work so like to have a buffer built in.

@MadMan4BamaNATL

I’m down for either, if we are going farther out I just need a few more details as I expect that will be a whole day trip if not longer and need to keep the wife informed.

Also picked up a GSMR radio and got it hooked up and installed last weekend, so I won’t need to borrow yours @MadMan4BamaNATL !

Also started looking into coilovers, and will probably pull the trigger on that once tax money gets back, so I’ll be more on an even level with you guys =)

@TheI3lindMan

@TheI3lindMan not sure but they were the ones that just had the recall issued against them!

@Rspayde

@Rspayde what are you rocking now? Standard?

@TheI3lindMan

@TheI3lindMan yup just stock Hitachis! I'm probably going to be harvesting the springs from the badlands takeoffs I have and going the Bilstein 6100 route or possibly the badlands vertex system but need to research the latter more.

We'll be doing a segen6 haley rd ride probably a week or two after they open. March 15 there's a Beasley knob trail repair day (I figure haley will be packed on the first day anyway)

Worth driving over to some of the scenic spots in Prentice Cooper if you haven't been in there before. (Go west to east on Haley).

There's also the big fork area nearby with some pretty sizable rock ledges that are fun

Alright so who is putting this route together? I am likely looking at camping out near wherever we will be starting Friday night since the weather looks to be pretty warm this weekend.

@Rspayde

@Rspayde Well, I have a route and will send you the first turn in and trails marked. We can alter or do someplace else altogether; doesn’t matter to me, just want to ride. Looks like sunshine, so hope to have some peak views.

@MadMan4BamaNATL

@MadMan4BamaNATL Sounds good to me. I am assuming there are camp slots out near where ever you have the start.

We could just do down old bucktown and cashes valley worst case scenario. I know where I can find somewhere to sleep out there.

Could you forward to me as well. I'm going to have some guest with me I need to communicate with =)

@TheI3lindMan

@TheI3lindMan Cool, once we settle on a route.

Ok, so Ryan and I have a route. To keep the meet up easy, we'll meet at old faithful Nimblewill Church and head in through FS 28-1, keeping right and heading up Coopers Gap, then over left, to Rock Creek which also connects to a cool loop with views in 69C. Let me know if any of you use GAIA GPS, or TrailsOffroad App for some waypoints and to help with Nav. If we come back down and if enough time and energy, Old Bucktown Road can be on the menu as well.

A 9:00am meet up time for this Saturday, February 1 sounds good as well.

@Rspayde

@Rspayde Did you really go camping today? Pretty wet, so just checking.

@MadMan4BamaNATL

@MadMan4BamaNATL haha nope had my gear ready to go but kept my ass in the house. Will be up tomorrow though.

@Rspayde

@Rspayde I’ve camped in the rain before; most recently Dec 2023 with some buddies. We made it work, but was interesting. I slept in my Bronco and didn’t bother with the tent. lol!

Sounds good. I’ll be there at 9a

@JF Bronc

@JF Bronc hey man, you still coming?
