Cuz if your pile breaks down in the middle of schoolbus everyone is screwed

Kurtuleas · 09-24-2008, 11:43 AM

Where is the "becuase I am 2,500 miles away" option?

McCracken · 09-24-2008, 12:44 PM

I got an open seat. get your ass on the plane

edit: I should have posted another option for "nothing, I'm going".

nlatto · 09-25-2008, 07:36 AM

Can't go because of other obligations on the same weekend. Otherwise I would go.

McCracken · 09-25-2008, 07:54 AM

Anything scheduled for spring? I'm wanting to get out to Wilkesboro for Merlefest again.

McCracken · 09-25-2008, 09:16 AM

We have the Spring Fling on April 3-5. Maybe, just maybe we'll have all the trails open and it should be best weekend of riding in a long time.

offroadrocktoy · 09-25-2008, 09:18 AM

This is my vote!
I will be there Thursday staying at Crawfords site #6.

That might just work. Merlefest starts April 23. Could spend couple of weeks visiting friends in Hickory and over Triad way. For now, I'm afraid I'm bacon.

it's on then. don't let me forget

Kurtuleas · 09-25-2008, 09:41 AM

Dale, if you are serious about going back there this coming Spring, please let me know!

I have a friend that moved there from Disco this summer, and I would like to wheel Tellico..

Of course, that is if the economy is still alive in the next few months...

McCracken · 09-25-2008, 10:00 AM

Y'all definitely let me know. We'll hit a few places if you're up for it. We'll slap every park in the face within a couple hours of the house if you want. There's up to 5

redman_30_06 · 09-25-2008, 09:56 PM

I am going to try and make it down either Friday and Saturday or just early on saturday.

If you need another empty seat for someone let me know, I can always take my junk.

ftoy507 · 09-28-2008, 09:44 AM

MB bike week is an annual event for my wife an I. I have always missed this event due to MB Bike week. Now they are trying to stop bike week and shut down Tellico, whats next?
I will bring the family in for leaf season, camping, and casual wheeling. Then try to make another wheeling trip with my son and off road crew before Christmas. (hoping for snow)

Wes in TN · 09-28-2008, 03:17 PM

You need to add a "because the trails were way too crowded before, I can't imagine what it will be like now" option. I'll be there but I'm most likely leaving the rig at home.

frazier2209 · 09-28-2008, 06:56 PM

I'll be there.

Just wondering. Can't go, Jeep-money-school.

BigGreenMonster · 09-28-2008, 08:01 PM

i stay away from that place during major events. there are just too many people! i cannot stand traffic durring rush hour. waiting 8 hrs to get up school bus fits right in there too.

yeah but if they flew in then I doubt their trucks would be with them. I live 25 minutes from the airport so it would be easiest to come from the NC side. You're right though. I used to go that way when I lived in K-town.
