Come on folks, we need to be involved, we don't need another closed park!!!

New Trail Prospecting

 A couple of club members met with Brent and Roy from Windrock Offroad to scout new trails and found some good locations.  Weather permitting we will be riding Monday the 26th to layout a new trail off of trail 39.  This is going to be a day to mark the proposed trail and if approved, hopefully start the clearing in January.  Windrock land management stated that they would like to see 200 miles of additional (4x4) trails cut in the near future, volunteers will be needed to make this happen!  This is our chance to get out there and have an opinion as to how Windrock OHV Park looks like and grows.

New Trails
 Progresss will be underway this weekend again on some new trail blazing. There will be several clubs along with ET4WD club members meeting in the parking lot at 9am. Ron will be riding up to the new trail with one of us for the approval walk!

Charity Toy Run -Brimstone Park

By making the donation that day your Brimstone permit is waived. And as far as riding the Laco ride that again is going to have to change. I talked to the TWRA OHV manager and just like the Mike Norman Memorial ride, it is closed for hunters because that is opening day of rifle season. So we will be taking a differnt route. Also, we have a club called the TN MTN Junkies that are coming and want to ride some obstacles. Their may be two rides again so that the big vehicles can go on the harder stuff.

Windrock New Trail Blazing Opportunity

  Ron, the Trail Maintenance Supervisor at Windrock will be at Windrock at 9am to ride with someone to talk about the trail system and to make suggestions to Brent for new trails, it would be a chance for our people to maybe make a new trail.
If anyone can get involved let's try to coordinate together so that we don't miss out on the opportunity.

Fall Colors Ride - Sand Mines

   The weather was clear and the sun was bright but 24hrs or more of rain the day before made this trip a little more interesting than normal. The trees were in full color which made for a beautifull and scenic adventure. From a soft flop on the hill climb coming in, to full barrel rolls down the v-notch the crew still managed to keep breakage at a minimumm, and everyone made it back safe. This weekend ride had it all packed in. There are plenty of pictures rolling in, so check back soon.
