Maybe its crazy maybe not. But what do you guys think about trying to organize a big time trail ride. A lot of the clubs have one like the Lone Star Roundup for texas, as an example. What if we organized one and started something up. I'm sure a lot of people from like Ga, NC, and other areas around the south would come, and maybe some straglers from further away. Could be pretty cool thing to try and put together and we do have some reasonable areas around.

Good idea, Mr Pig. I'm up!
 
where would we do it? don't have a huge orv park nearby, really....

and i don't think mtn estates would be that prime of an area, ha ha


i'm down, and think it would be cool, but we'd need to find someplace that would draw some people, maybe do it jointly with the guys in ga (rusty seals...)

What about burrels ford where that huge field is JP Ghen Chuck and I were riding through the mud on the one end. It right at the bottom of the trail. And its supposed to go all the way to cashiers which has to be like 15 or 20 miles. Ride it to cashiers then have a poker run type thing back or something. Then there are still a couple other trails right around there.

Well it seems like there is a general lack of support for this idea so I guess it will be scrapped now.

Uhwarrie.


Let's get over GSMTR and plan this out. It's an excellent idea!!!
 
I will mention to some of the guys here in NC, think it's a good idea, depending on the rigs Uwharrie might not be worth some guys to drive to, not as challenging and much smaller than tellico. Keep us posted

Uhwarrie would be ok but I really think we could od it in the upstate. It wouldnt be as hardcore as tellico or anything but that makes it a little more accessible to guys whose rigs aren't as built up. And we have some fun places to go that I think could make for a good outting. A little wheeling a little relaxing around the fire with some beverages and some good company. Get the upstate name out and maybe make a few dollars or something.

I like the idea, but I think we lack any real places to host much of a crowd............but I think this is a good idea more along the lines of it could anual trail ride for the club. We have I believe somewhere around 50 memebers yet I have wheeled with about 1/10th that on a regular basis. We need a designated wheeling/ camping trip............ compared to what I have seen with other clubs our members for the majority are not much in to the off-road action.......I personally would like to change that. Monthly meeting and getting together to shoot the breeze is fun, but these are landcruisers..............they are meant for more than sonic drive-ins. We all know the Mafia is going to be out there on the trail as is Marshall and Alex, we just need to get the others out there as well.............. with the elections up coming we need to get some one in there who is more off-road oriented, just my 2 cents..................
 
I like the idea of a southeast trail ride. I think the goal should be to get as many cruisers together as possible. Meaning a medium trail ride, think about our trip to Mt. estates...took us all day and didn't get very far. Don't get me wrong I absolutely loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat. But I think if we are goin to get a large group together the goal would be to go a long distance, and enjoy the campfire and beer at night without destroying the mechanics on our vehicles. So I like Rudy's idea, have a fun run where we can have a good ride and enjoy ourselves at night around the campfire. Just my thoughts. Chuck
 
yeah you are right but where do we have it??? mountain estates, not likely, the hushole it private property now...........large events there would be asking for trouble, the idea of the trail ride from bruells ford to cashiers, nc has the most potential but I just don't see people driving from other clubs when they could be in Tellico in about the same time it takes to get here.............and Tellico offers a superior experience, I am not trying to kill the idea, I just don't see what we have to offer.........
 
I think the point of it would kinda be that its not in Tellico and its more accessible to everyone even if there rig isnt built up. Because lots of people like to go out but they dont want to slam against the rocks either. It would be just a fun mildly challenging run, as much for the camping and socializing as for the wheeling.
 
well the problem is tellico offers terrain like that also it ranges from mild to wild.............. but I see what you are getting at. I believe that the bruels ford to cashiers holds the most promise........get it going rudnicki, I'll back you
 
I think you and I and anyone else interested will need to make the run one weekend this fall and check it out first hand. All the way up to NC. Evaluate the possibilities, and down a few beverages to help us think about it properly.
 
put me on the list and keep me posted, I like th idea
 
no problem pits................ it will be this fall for sure, all us clemson guys are away on summer vacation...........plus the colors will be kick ass if we wait till fall
 
Dont forget to mention that you want it to be cold JP. I see your hidden agenda.
