Dual-Sporting the Free State VII....May 13-15

[Al Goodwin]

Wolf Pen camp we like the best....off the road a bit, big area, BUT....no ammenities at all....no toilet or water...

.

[Al Goodwin]

OK....McDougle camp is where we'll be based... Toilet, easy to find, enough room for us.....

Looks great to me!

I am really thinking about riding up there, any chance you all will have some extra room in the cooler for my sausage and beer?  ???

How far is this spot from the closest convenience store? I will need to grab a gallon or two of water.


Thanks for all the leg work!

McDougle looks good. Can you drop a pin on google maps to help me find it?

Looks awesome!

Are you doing roll-charts again this year?

I would be interested in leading a quicker paced group!

[Al Goodwin]

Possible afternoon route.....I'm planning on a longer morning/shorter afternoon route, later lunch(subject to change,,,....maybe not get to lunch during their peek lunch rush....

I'll do an official "pre-ride" this upcoming week, make sure some of the less traveled roads have any issues....

Yes. I'll print off some routes for roll-charts....

AND....If we have as large a group as last year, 28 bikes, we'll need to split up into 2, possibly 3 groups.  I've got a roll-chart holder someone in the other group could use, but only 1...so, if anyone else has a chart holder it's be GREAT !!!!

[Al Goodwin]

ALSO.....anyone with an "off-road" only bike....we could possibly have a group ride Sunday morning at the Flint Creek trail....

16 miles of ATV width trails.....$5/bike...I think...

So....even if you don't have a dual-sport bike, you can haul it, campout with us, and ride here.

Looks like a great day, I plan to ride over Saturday morning again.

[Fencejumper09]

Definitely getting pumped for this!

[griff]

I think we're going to at least show up Saturday evening and ride Flint Creek on Sunday.

Might want to update the first post as it still says the camping is at Bushy Lake. Someone might not read the whole thread.
