Gilmer GNCC Feb 19th & 20th

[Mudd Slinger]

Are you ready for a good time. It is next weekend. I am doing my best weasle imitation at work to get some time off. My boy and I are going down Friday night and staying the weekend so he can see the 4-wheelers on Saturday. I hope the weatherman is paying attention and gives us a nice weekend.

Are there any others going down there. I heard some talk earlier.


Email me at [email protected] and I send you my cell phone number (if it works it that remote area).

Where is Gilmer in relation to Dallas?

 

[penguin]

Gilmer is about 145 miles east by southeast of Dallas.
you take the pittsburg exit off of I30 and head south :)

 

[Mudd Slinger]

There is some other FM roads that cut across to Gilmer and there is a little time saved (~1/2 hr). You do not have to go through Pittsburg. You can get off I-30 at Sulfer Springs. I would have to look at a map to find the road(s) again. It is about 2 hours or less from Dallas depending on your location. I can make it from Sherman through Greenville in about 2.5 hrs.

I know about the FM roads, but they are kind of scary in the dark. I was giving the route with the least number of turns and road changes. If you go through pittsburg on 271, once you get to gilmer you make 1 left turn at the golden corrall and it takes you right to Barnwell mountain :)

Penguin, that would be what used to be the Golden Corral, it's been closed for a couple of years now.

I think the race was Feb. 12 & 13, not Feb 19 & 20.

You are right. I'm bummed out. This was like hittting a moving target for me. It was suppose to be the end of month and then I heard it was moved to a later date. I got something wrong somewhere. I even had the dates right on the last posting. I messed this up bad.

Does anyone want to go riding this weekend at Gilmer this weekend. I have a 3 day weekend off.

 

[woodsguy2000]

Mudslinger, I have a rare Saturday off, might make it up then.
Are you staying all w/e or what time would you be there?
I would be making a one day run.

Let me know!

 

[Mudd Slinger]

I am thinking about going Friday nignt after my boy gets out of school at 3:30-4:00. It is a 2.5 hr drive for me. I will be there all day Saturday and pack up sometime Sunday afternoon. Look for a Red 4X4 Dodge PU with a cap. I have 2 Yamies on a black 5x10 trailer. I may put up my big green/silver tarp.

I am not sure of their camping areas so I am not sure where I will be.

 

[GhostRider32]

I am going with a few others, look for my pickup by the pavilion on Saturday about 8am. :)

 

[Mudd Slinger]

I do not know my way around very well. Where is the pavilion as related to the entrance.

 

[woodsguy2000]

Camping is on top of the mountain. Stretches out for a pretty good ways. If you need hook-ups they are in a central spot.
L et me know for sure and I am in.
Have ridden there once and raced last years GNCC.
Have a friend who knows it well and can fill me in. Should be able to hit the GNCC loop plus the 20 mile m/c only loop.

Let me know for sure. 5 hour drive to play by myself!!

 

[GhostRider32]

Randy,
The pavilion is about 200 yards from the entrance, can't miss it.

Woodsguy, I am as sure as I can be i think. I plan on going unless it rains like 10 or 12 inches. in about 30 mins. :yikes:

 

[woodsguy2000]

Good deal. See you then.

 

[Zapped]

I'm planning on making it this Saturday too. I sure hope the rain holds out. Sounds like there should plenty of us to ride with. I'm curious as to what trails the GNCC guys made for us! :ride: :ride: :ride:

 

[Mudd Slinger]

I would like to ride the GNCC track too.

At Last look, there was a 30% chance of rain with moderately cool weather (60s) for Friday & Saturday. Sunday is dry and low 70s. A little mud and rain won't hurt. Riding weather.

 

[GhostRider32]

Sounds like a good ride shaping up. :)

 

[GhostRider32]

Woodsguy,

I know what the rest of these guys drive except you, I drive a '94 F150. What do you drive and when do you plan on being there?

 

[Mudd Slinger]

Do you call it the ghost hauler?

 

[GhostRider32]

LOL, I do now. :laugh:

 

[woodsguy2000]

I will be in 2002 gold 4 door Dodge.
YZ or WR or both and 1 200 KTM.

Shooting for 8:00. Thinking it is a 4 1/2 hr drive.

Meet by the pavillion still.

 

[Zapped]

Sounds like a plan... Gray '03 Silverado Ext cab for me, will be parked next to the GhostHauler!

Looking forward to the "We Show" mud pit! :aj:

 

[GhostRider32]

Mark,

Is that the mud pit with the ledge that you and I got stuck in? You know, the one where my tires would only spin..... :yikes:

 

[Zapped]

That's the one! :cool:

Anyone know of an Anti-Rain Dance? Ain't looking too great for Saturday, good thing it's only a 5min drive for me! :eek:
