Can't make it this weekend. We're having a missions seminar all weekend at church.

You NEED to go to Loretta's with us the 26th!

I was considering maybe getting together with you guys, but now I'm skeert! :scream:

I will be in Harrisburg IL for 5 days that weekend visiting relitives. I always bring my bike and hit Crab Orchard, but will definitely make TB for 1 full day.
I will keep looking here for updates, and plan to be there what ever day you think you will do the most riding.

I think it would only be a 1 1/2 drive from say Marion Il anybody know for sure.

I am going Oct 25-28th just to let anyone know.

 

[david.dowdy]

Pretty cold then :scream: But if you can handle it Cory so can I. It would be nice if we could setup some sort of course. We need a new chapter called Turkey Riders and have a logo of a motocrosser riding on a Turkey :aj:

Just an idea!

I was thinking more along the lines of the "Turkey Bay Assault Club" :thumb:

Temps. should be in the 50's at the least and could even be in the upper 60's. That's not cold! That's PERFECT riding weather!! :yeehaw:

Aimee, you and Eddie better come down here...and bring gnarlykaw with you!

jsned, Saturday will definately be the best day. And yes, Crab Orchard is about 1 1/2 hours away.

Hey Dave, the least you can do is spell my name right! :silly:

 

[david.dowdy]

I dont know many of you cause im kinda new here, but Ive been looking for a good excuse to go to Turkey Bay, maybe this is it. Ill be at Loretta Lynn's this month for 4 days with out the family so if the weather is nice ill head to Turkey Bay that weekend with the family. I dont think my kids will let me take two bike trips that close together without taken them to one of them.

[IrishEKU]

I'm leaving for Clarksville in about 2 hours, I'll be at Turky bay at about 0900 on Sat. See ya there Corey, I have your cell and home #'s programed and I will call you this afternoon for updates :thumb:

Phillip

 

[IrishEKU]

CAL,
What happened to you on Sat? The rain too much for ya? LOL, I had a fairly good ride, only about 30 miles or so, before I called it quits out of worries that getting too soaked would lead to a major cold.

[CAL]

Check your PMs.

 

[IrishEKU]

CAL, check my ride report, there a few notes of intrest in there for our riding style :|

 

[MADisher]

So what's this place like ? Can you compare it to anything in eastern KY ?

Would this be an adult ride :D or can my son keep up on his XR ? Or will there be other folks trying to keep up with thier kids ? :D That we can tag along with.

Turkey Bay is hilly and rocky. There are areas for just about anyone. There are easy areas that are good for beginners and kids, and there are areas for the not-so-faint-at-heart. The thing that makes Turkey Bay user friendly is that there is usually 2 or more lines to choose from. Almost every hill has multiple ways up...some more challenging than others, but they end up at the same point. The trails are very open. There is VERY little single track. At the pace we ride, most trails are 2nd to 4th gear trails. Nothing that I would call "tight" and not really anything wide open either.

I personally don't know of anyone else bringing their kids, but I would never discourage you from bringing yours. The riding pace all depends on the skill level of who all shows up. More than likely we'll have every skill level between beginner(IrishEKU ;) ) and A class Harescramble racer(Wheelie4strkB :thumb: ) at this ride. Any time you get a big group together, the pace usually stays fairly slow. If it goes like the last big ride we had, we'll go out for a couple of "big group" loops, and then the faster guys will break off for some more challenging terrain and a faster pace. We're not out to show off or make anyone feel bad. We just want to have a good time.

Doh! I just noticed that jcramin will probably be bringing his kids.
