Lone Chimney Lake-Glencoe OK

[justql]

There is a group of us, Heartland Spodes, that will be riding at my farm on LoneChimney Lake, in Glencoe OK, this weekend. I will arrive Friday night and ride Saturday and Sunday. The place is small 133 acres with 6 1/2 mile loop of tight trails. Some tight technical stuff. Also some open riding, a small little section with some small jumps.

There will be some guys bringing thier kids from 8 years old all the way up. MXers and enduro riders together, Cookout Saturday night, camping also.
Family place, safe riding for the kids, they can ride by them selves. Fun riding for the adults. :)

I thought I'd get in touch with everyone and let you know the plans for this weekend.
I will arrive at farm around 5:30 Friday night. Setup camp, campfire.
Saturday- Ride off and on all day, cookout hamburgers and hotdogs around dark, campfire after that.
Sunday- Ride off and on all day leave sometime in the afternoon.

The place is not real hard to find, it sits on Lone Chimney Lake.
To get there from Stillwater you head east on 51 to 108, go north on 108 two miles north of Glencoe, turn right at Walts Corner head east four miles turn right go south on gravel road 1 mile, turn left go east almost 1 mile, small farm house on left side, only house on left side. You make a u turn to go through the gate beside big garage into the pasture, turn right once in pasture head north through pasture on trail.

To get there from the Cimmaron turnpike, exit at the Pawnee exit, hwy 18 , it's the exit right before the McDonalds.Turn right, head north on Hwy 18, 2 1/4 miles( there is a green state sign that says Lone Chimney Lake)turn left go west 2 miles on dirt road. At t-intersection turn right go north 1/4-1/2 mile or so to new bridge to stop sign at t-intersection. At stop sign turn left head west again. Follow this road west it will turn back south and then back west,(about a 1/2 mile total through the curves) there is a water plant on the left side when you turn west again, go 1 1/2 miles west from water plant. Turn left, head south 1 mile, turn left head east almost 1 mile. Small farm house on left side of road. Make a uturn off of road go through gate beside garage into pasture. Once in pasture turn right go north through pasture.

To get there from Tulsa on 51 head west to 18, go north on 18 and follow the directions once you go past the turnpike.

The farm was my grand parents the Shell's, it is now owned by the Matlocks and Lockwoods. 133 acres of fun. 6+ miles of trials is all but we can run them backwards for a real challenge.
I will be happy to meet you at the McDonalds or Glencoe if needed to lead you there. There is plenty of room for camping, outhouse, open pavilion. Let me know when and if you'll be there. Invite whoever you want, we should have lots of variety of skill levels, so everyone will have someone at their level.. Lots of open riding for kids. Trails are like Stillwater, some tough sections, ask Craig_end or Bswift they've both been there.

I'll email everone with a list of who's coming as I get responces, my wife and two sons, 8 and 10 will be there. The list is not real large, so do invite whoever, good time to bring the kids and camp out in a tent.:)
Later Justin

133 acres. Sounds like the Pondarosa to me! ;) Justql, check you e-mail.

Everyone else. Sawblade has had a chipped tooth on the ole blade the last few weeks. Broke down and went to the doctor and he has me loaded up with meds. Once this clear I've got to go back for a full physical. :eek: Needless to say I'm not looking forward to it! My energy level has been very low, I'm feeling better, but will not make it to the ride on the farm. :(

I'll look forward to all the rib pokin and knee slapping on the board next week.

[BSWIFT]

Doing the bike maintenance tonight. :)

 

[justql]

Mines already loaded, gotta go to a High school play tonight, I'll leave here around 3:30 tomorrow. Smaller group than I wanted but it should be a blast. I'm marking some easy sections of trails with blue arrows for the newbies and kids.

 

[mx547]

my buddy that bailed said that he is 90% sure that he will show up sunday. his kid has a b-ball game saturday. his nickname is mikeok. he hangs out on the extremedirtbike board alot. so add two more to the list.

 

[Sawblade]

Ok, put me down for a maybe. The meds have kicked in, I'm feeling about 90%, and a good group ride is what I need to get rid of some stress. If I can talk the boy into getting up at O god thirty, he may come also.

 

[justql]

Good to hear it. If anyone gets lost call 580-669-2343, Thats the house at the farm, hoopefully someone there can give you directions to the place. Lots of people in the area know it as the Shell place, now owned by the Matlocks and Lockwoods. If you make it to Glencoe the folks at Ross' Station can give you directions. They're my relatives so don't let them give you a hard time about riding bikes. :D If you get close you'lls start seeing red and white arrows.:think Maybe they'll help if you MXer's can follow them,:debil:

 

[Sawblade]

Justql,
Just wanted to clarify that if I make it. It will be for Sunday only. What time is everyone planning on breaking camp?

 

[justql]

I'm leaving my trailer there, I'm going back the following Wednesday, so I'll stay as late as everyone wants to. :)

 

[MikeOK]

Thanks again guys for a great day of riding. My son and I both had a blast. Now I'm gonna go take a few aspirin and go to bed... Justin, I'm still trying to think of something to name that get-off, just give me time...

Mike
