Nothing special, and I'm sure most of you have been here. I couldn't find a riding partner on Saturday but kdtrull suggested checking out Kinlock Falls because it is a fairly short ride from where I live. Bankhead Forrest is a really beautiful area! Anyways, a few photos from the trip:

Looking forward to exploring more of Bankhead!
Looks like fun! I love riding through Bankhead!
Thanks for sharing!
I have toyed with the idea of doing a dual sport group ride in Bankhead to see a couple of waterfalls, but I don't know how many people would be interested. Most of the waterfalls there require hiking and climbing to see them. As far as I know, Kinlock is the only waterfall that does not require a hike.
I love that forest...
That would be fun! The only issue I see is having to hike with my helmet and riding gear as I don't have a way to lock it to the bike!

I made a long cable lock for about $20 using vinyl covered steel cable and ferrules from Lowes. It's long enough to run through the sleeve of a jacket and my helmet.
I got a few looks hiking around the falls in my riding jacket. :)

Parker falls near that one also.. bout 1/2 mile in though. Scenic grotto area. Rode over there couple times this winter on my DR350
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Great photos. I'm sure it was a perfect day to get out and nice to have quality destinations for a short hop from home.
Great report, BamaPhill. I hope you consider joining the Dual sporting the free State in April!
