I have this weekend off and might be tempted to go riding in ONF.

There are some features there that not too many folks know about. I can give Sullydirt his fix on hillclimbing - sand hills are even more fun than you know! There is a little "practice pit" that I know where you can MX until your hearts content.

I know it's short notice, but I am not working this weekend.



BTW, thank to those of you that have sent PM's to me asking me to return to this site. I am going to give it a try and see what happens.

I must have missed something Marty, but I'm up for this weekend. Just tell me where and when.

Oct 7th will be good too!

I was kind of thinking right around this area:

There's some water crossings




Lots of sand. It's not too deep, we have had rain this week. Of course the water crossing might be a bit deeper!


We can meet up in Paisley. Perhaps on Sunday?


Let me know.

I wish I could join you Marty...I added a 2nd job (teaching college) for the time being, and -- being new at it -- it consumes all my free time, such as this Sunday when I'll be constructing my first exam (ever).

Can you come out and play with us on Oct. 7 also? please o please join us, we should all meet!

I would love to commit. However I, like you, teach at a local college on most weekends.

Happens that we have some construction this weekend, so I get the weekend off.

I don't mean to hijack Charles, I'm still up for the Oct 7th ride. But, this weekend I'm ready to get outdoors. The weather has been great. My buddy's from Miami and Jax are joing me Saturday Morning. The plan is to go to Hardrock Cycle Park, after we have some fun rifding the roller coaster we're going to camp at Alexander Springs. Our GF's and dogs are going to meet us late afternoon to camp, and Sunday morning we hope to meet Marty for some OCNF trail riding.

Anyone intersted? Stiffler?? Finger Mullet? Deej? It's not that far!

BTW, finger mullet, the guy from Miami is trailering his bike. If you're interested he has room for another. Just let me know he's driving up I95 Friday evening, he'll probably pass your exit around 6:00-6:30.

Alexander Springs is just north of some of the great riding!

You're less than 2 miles from the start of "Paisley Road" - FR-538.

Heck yeah!
