When: Wednesday, Aug. 22  Monday, Oct. 8

Where: Talladega Nat'l Forest

I'm going to haul the KTM to Coleman Lake in TNF...should be there @ 9:30am. I'll be making a loop to Cedartown for lunch, exploring dirt roads and anything else that looks interesting along the way (maybe @ 2 hours each direction).

 Dang, hate to hear that.  :(

But look on the bright side...I spent the morning cutting grass so I would say your day has been better than mine.  :D
What we've got here, is a failure to communicate.  Strother Martin as the Captain in Cool Hand Luke.
Endeavor to persevere! Chief Dan George as Lone Watie in The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Ugh. That's  the kind of thing I do, I've gone climbing and forgot the rope; canoeing and forgot the paddles, backpacking and forgot my tent poles.  If my riding gear gets back from Idaho ( ups has it) in time, I may try to join you, I know all dirt around Cedartown.

Are you going next Wednesday?

KevinB

If there's some interest, we can do it this Wednesday.

Just discovered my rear wheel bearings are shot...probably won't have a chance to work on it by this Wednesday.

Okay and where do you park when you go? I use a Honda Civic to tow and I'm just wondering if the parking spot is easily accessible.

KevinB

I parked at the Ranger station at the intx. of FS500 / US78 last time I went. I was going to use the parking lot at Coleman Lake next trip.

FS500 to Coleman Lake should be doable in a Civic...it's a well graded gravel road. Google Maps shows it quicker for me to use Co. Rd. 61 north from US78...don't know what type of road it is, though.

Okay and if go on another Wednesday let me know and I'll try to join youyou.
