Trail 39 Bypass or Not

2012-02-21T16:05:18Z

A couple of club members went up to Windrock trail 39 and cut a couple of bypass trails near the hard rock/mud hill climb going towards Cadillac Hill as part of a continuing effort of the new trail build. It turned out to be a winch fest and the video Matt Pavel created and is posted tells the story well.

Coal Creek Gas Lines - Safety Reminder

2012-02-10T16:15:56Z

As per our recent conversations with Ron the trail supervisor of Coal Creek. He wants us to be sure that we remember that we need to stay off of the gas lines which are found all around the park and the trails we often ride. There are reported to be exposed gas lines on trails 15, 21, 22, 36, and some others at Windrock. The land managers are working to cover the lines back up but until then, if you see anyone on one of the lines get them off of it! We all need to be proactive here to ensure we prevent any possibilities of an incident.

New Trail Prospecting

2012-01-01T02:44:45Z

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.

Charity Toy Run -Brimstone Park

2011-11-17T19:32:12Z

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

2011-11-16T23:34:21Z

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

2011-11-02T15:06:30Z

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.

Windrock & Our final Test / Tune Club Trail Ride

2011-09-27T16:09:17Z

The weather was perfect for a sunday drive so we dicided to go four wheeling. We took off from the parking lot right on time around 9:45 ish, after a few bolts were tightened up. We hit up trail 16 first and everyone had a great time so then we explored a few different connectors before we shot over to the Windmills for a scenic look, and they were really moving that day. You could hear the turbines generating power as they whirled around and around. Next we headed to the other side of the Mountain for a ride on Trail 4 and then 19 I think. As the sun was going down , we were headed back down to the parking lot when we decided to split into two groups. A few went down trail 21, while a few went up 15, and then back down. Trail 19 survivors called it a day. On the way down 15 a broken track bar and bent shock we were forced to perform a trailside recovery. All in all it was another awesome day out in the woods with the ET4WD club. Next up is Dixie Run!

Trail Closure Action Required

2011-09-04T19:48:00Z

Squally and Little Buffalo is gated, and has been for a while. This has been done by the land owners. This road closure is illegal according to "plat of survey" and Deed where Beemis Logging Company deeded the road as a "PUBLIC motorized right of way". We need to get this re-opened!
