377 County Road 1286, Vinemont, Al. 35179

I've got a question for suggestions....

The route last year was a hoot, but the hour+ ride up to the good stuff was not pleasant.  I'm thinking of staying closer to home this year, much like the route year before last. 

Thoughts ???


We'll, more than likely, stay away from Bankhead since our spring ride covers the best of that area.  I'm thinking Northern Cullman county, and southeastern Morgan....maybe work some of Joe Wheeler into the mix for a change.

Some of you are familiar with the area, give me some suggestions.......I may just surprise everyone.

For "Go Fast/Hoodlum riders" I'll try and work in something, but this ride is more relaxed than the Bankhead ride.

NOPE 8).....we've all seen that, several times(although it's an excellent movie), maybe Friday night?? ;).....

Fauss and Halsey is a CLASSIC....if it ain't, well..I'm doing my part to make it one. ;D

I'll be there for the ride on Saturday.  I really enjoyed the ride 2 years ago and doing a similar ride again would be just fine with me.  The cave tour was cool as well. 

Looking forward to this (http://advrider.com/styles/advrider_smilies/wings.gif)

I've only been to the 2nd annual ride, but I loved the route last year. Since I'm on a bigger bike, I don't mind the highway ride to get to the good stuff. It was totally worth it IMO.

How about let's have two rides?  I'll lead a street ride, and you lead the dual sport ride?

That sounds like a good idea, actually I'd gotten a suggestion of a "covered-bridge" street ride...Blount counties and whatever else could be sandwiched in there.

I think it was Mike Ashbaugh that suggested that ride.  Y'all 2 get together and out the street riders together a good route. 8)

Alright, I will commit to leading the street ride on Saturday.  It will be a Ride for Pie!

I am really looking forward to this one and plan to ride up Friday around noon.

Is there any place to hang a hammock?

Hammock might be an issue..... How close do the trees need to be?  I'll look around this evening and see just what we've got around. 

Now that I think about it....We could probably hang hammocks down in our barn, couple hundred yards from the festivities, but it's an easy walk/ride....

I'll take a few pictures tonight and post'em up.

I think I am good for 15 to 20 feet.

It is just a lot easier to pack than the tent (and more comfortable)

Space is the main issue with my current setup.

We'll be scouting/pre-riding the route tomorrow.  Leaving our house around 8am.

Even though the route hasn't been pinned down just yet, I have been doing some preparation.

Got the fire-pit ready.

Bon-fire pile is also ready.

The pool is still open, if someone wants a cool swim.  Plus, restroom facilitiesa available in the poolhouse there.

I'll appologive to the hammock campers, no trees around, but plenty of room for tents.

Speaking of tents, anyone needing one for the weekend....I have 4 i could have setup and ready if needed.

Thanks Al I am really getting pumped for this ride.

If I can park my truck near that telephone pole I can run a hammock between it and my truck!

I will bring my tent just in case my redneck engineering skills come up short!

Thanks again for all you are doing!

I started prepping back in July with a trip up to the bourbon trail! Do you have a preference?

To the HARD-CORE off-roaders....this ride is even more subtle than the Bankhead ride :-[, probably 85% paved roads ::)....I hate it, but it's all we've got without a LOOOONG ride up into Tenn. or riding Bankhead, AGAIN!!!!

This ride will have a few dirt-roads, some very narrow twisty paved roads, a short trail to a cool cave we'll stop at for a break and possibly a little spelunking, bring a flashlight.  Also a trail leading out to Fort Bluff....they're cutting timber along the trail, the trail is much easier now, but the last 1/4 of it is as it's always been....This place has a fantastic view of the valley below.

We'll have one water crossing, wide and long....and I found out today that, even though we've had little rain lately, it's much, MUCH DEEPER than 2 years ago :o .  Plus the road has gotten rougher than I ever remember it being...wish it was longer, only a couple of miles actually.

A couple of spots we stopped at 2 years ago are now blocked, posted "no trespassing" or the likes >:(.....we'll see what it looks like that morning.

Either way...it'll be a good day, with good folks... :)

This is all "Big bike friendly" we were 2-up on the Tenere today.

I can move the street ride to Sunday, if necessary.  We'll be riding some tight switchbacks and bumpy country roads, so I'd rather not have any accidents on my Pie Ride....

I generally try to avoid camping in the rain, unless it sneaks up on me.  Good thing I live across the street.  ;D

I hate rain when I want to be outside.  If this was a dirt ride, the rain would be great.

Street, not soo much.

Camping in rain, meh.  that's why they make waterproof rain tarps.

My plan is to still come in this afternoon hopefully leave bham by 2 or 3.

I will camp tonight under some redneck engineered lean-to shelter and if the ride happens tomorrow I will be ready. I dont have any rain gear so I will be wet but at least it won't be too cold!

Hope to see you guys out there as camping by oneself is not very fun.

What a fun weekend! The weather just made it more memorable!

I hope you guys save those sweet trophies for next year!

Thank you Al and Melony for your hospitality and all the time it took to prepare this ride!

Is that the sketchy bridge we rode over last year? The one where we almost had a man overboard?

Nope, this is an even MORE dilapidated bridge along the route  8)

OK....I'm FINALLY getting around to downloading my videos.....just a series of short vids.....

Headed out on a WET Saturday morning..










A MUDDY MESS





Here comes Winn.....with his outriggers down.






Well...Melony and I had just ridden the Tenere through this the week before, but the rain made us rethink crossing this...it would have been seat deep this day...NO THANKS.


This was the route around the swollen creek.




It was WET before lunch....COLD :o and WET after lunch....still better than sitting on the couch. 8)
