I might be up for it, if my ribs are healed by then. I'm thinking I must have broken something, as it's taking so long to heal. So I'm a definite maybe.
im out due to work and family. ive been traveling to ride quite a bit the past two months and will probably be limited to day trips for awhile.....but you never know.
I really want to go back, but its a bit too soon. We have a little one on the way and I think I'll get put in the doghouse if I take many more 3 day trips :)
Monk, deer rifle season is still going on until December 4 in Oklahoma. We might want to wait until after that to go back. We could hit Gilmer or Lake Murray instead. Maybe even Bells.
Lake Murry is alot of sand with some wooded trails. Most trails are quad wide. There is some roots, mud, and rocks.
Gilmer is more technicial with a mix of trail types. I really like Gilmer. There is some fun single track mixed in but you have to look for it. Most of the single track I found is in the back part of the park. There are some hills, from nasty to clean and easy. Check out their web site for some maps. It is not as technical as Munster but since Muster is closed so do a little exploring.
Barnwell is cool (gilmer), Murray is cool for a day, pretty easy nothing technical, fast sandy berms. Whats cool about Murray is you can ride down to the lake in the summer and swim, and night ride ALL YOU WANT. You can night ride at Barnwell for about 2 hours. Very cool land, Gilmer is a AWSOME PLACE, even the jeep trails are alot of fun, some rocks and hardpack, very little sandy areas. But alot of various terrain, you could spend a WHOLE WEEKEND and love every minute of it! Its about a 30 mile loop with the single track included, and a very senic ride. Hit the Jeep trails if your looking to haul! Plus they have a free shower, and electricity that you pay for. Great facility and awsome trails, but Muenster is number one in my book.
I've talked to the Forest Service, to several folks who own cabins and little resorts inthe Kiamichi Mountains, and to the people at the Muse general store. Most think the deer hunters would be pretty irritated to have us out there. And if we ride into Muse for lunch, we're likely to run into some irate hunters who might flip us a bunch of crap, and I might have to kill two or three of them, so I'd just as soon wait until after deer season. I'll probably go to Bells Friday with my daughter, maybe for half a day. Then Saturday, I think Scotty and I will head out to Barnwell Mountain. How's that sound to you, Monk? Then we'll make a Kiamichi trip early in December.
Barnwell sounds okay. Are you guys going out there Friday night to be ready to ride in the morning, or are you driving out there in the--ahem--morning on Saturday?
I definately want to try something new, and based on AJ's recommendation, Gilmer it is.
I've got clearance to be gone from Thursday night through Saturday night. So, I'll see if there's anything else going on on Friday. I'll start another "after Thanksgiving" thread and see if there are any bites...
I plan to work on my bike this weekend. It needs some more TLC since it almost sat for a year. I might be able to get away depending on my progress. IK would like to ride bells since it is aroung the corner. I will see what I get done on Thursday. I have some honey dos waiting and I should probally do a few before she stops cooking for me. I can't let that happen.
Jim, what time are you planning to ride Bells on Friday?
Planning to do Bells in the morning Friday, maybe stay half a day. Monk, we probably won't hit Gilmer Friday night; I think Scotty has something going on that night. So we'll be out there at the crack of dawn Saturday; you know, around 10:30. Just kidding. I really do want to get out earlier than usual.
My bike is still torn down. I need to pick up some parts tomorrow and have some other commitments in the afternoon so my day is shot. I may get out Saturday or Sunday but Gilmer is a long 3 hr drive for a day trip. I will probally stay local.
