east TN trail ride anyone?

[B2 Addict]

im fine with the dates. we just need to see if B2 is up for it since I guess he will be our "trail guide" since he knows the place. and also get a meeting place and time.

Man, I'm up for it! If ya'll are willing to make the trip all the way here, how could I say no! Find the best way for each of you to get to Tullahoma, TN. & make sure you want to make the trip, the trail head is app. 30 minutes or so from there. Keep in mind, I only know the trail I have ridden the few times I have been, most of the time I was by myself & didn't want to take any more chances than I already was with no cell signal!

Would ya'll want to make it a day trip or what? If we just follow the trail I know, it would probably take up to 5 hours.....depending. Once we come out in Alabama, (if I remember correctly) it's roughly 45 minutes or so back to Tullahoma. Add at least 6 to 7 hours to your drive time to Tullahoma & back from where you are & that will be roughly how long your day will be.

Tullahoma is closer to Chattanooga, I'm in Murfreesboro so I'm closer to Nashville. I just have to go through Tullahoma to get to Winchester to the trail head. I figured it might be closer for someone coming from the east to just go to Tullahoma & meet there, from the west, people would most likely be coming through Murfreesboro anyway.

Tullahoma is an hour drive for me. Yep, add 6 to 7 hours to your round trip from home, you would be looking at a 12 to 13 hour day. Not trying to discourage you cause I'm all up for going, just putting it in perspective to let you decide.

actually, you must double the drive time ( there and back ) so Mapquest says 3hrs ( 178 miles ) from my house to Tullahoma....

so 6 hrs drive time plus 6-7 hours from there to ride the trail and back...13 hr day.....

sounds like a ball to me....would prolly be too cold to bring a tent and plan to camp...but will pack a bedroll and supplies.....cause ya never know

btw, i vote for Sat. so if anything were to happen.... have Sunday to get fixed...

count me in fella's

[jims89broncoII]

ill have stuff packed just incase also. Sat sounds good to me! Count me in also!

I've got a little list of things to do to get ready the B2 ready for the trip but when isnt there a list!

Alright, so right now it's me, railman, & Jims89!

railman, you are right, it gets cold as he$$ down in the valleys, especially this time of year. Nothin' we couldn't handle, but if we could make it a day it would be cool. I just hate for ya'll to have such a long drive down & back..

If you are willing & can afford it though...

Saturday the 12th is good for me, we can work out times & all & exchange #s. I will ride my pimp van up to the trail head a day or 2 before to make sure they haven't closed it off & find a meeting spot in Tullahoma. I have never seen it closed off, but I will make sure before ya'll make the journey!

I ain't sure how to go about moving it or what not, if railman checks back in I think he does. I gotta get off here a bit, if it hasn't been moved, I will start a new thread in events! Middle TN trail ride I guess?

 

[railman]

i'll start a thread

woohoo.....can't wait...

and Jim, your not the only one who has a list.....
