OPEN RIDE - BEASLEY KNOB APRIL 12 2014: DISCUSSION

sick

For those of us who haven't been before and are in-between stock or locked on 35's.. Is there anything there that's middle of the road?

Ie my situation- I'm open/open on 35's. From the previous comments it looks like it is either 93B type terrain or smooth rolling grades.

Are there bypasses to the more difficult obstacles?

[Krawler00]

You will be fine. The locked guys will try a few climbs and possibly 93B (depending on dry or wet). No worries.

93b is off by it's self.....there is an area you can
pull up to and watch the first section.

The whole rest of the park maybe has 3 sections
with a few rocks and those have a bypass

other than that it is rolling hills

[Warren]

I plan to go either way. Question is would it be worth while to have an intermediate group, like we had at gulches last time?  Are there enough trails that would be considered intermediate (I've never been, so I have no clue)

If not, but there are bypasses to the most difficult sections then Intermediate could go with hard and bypass the hardest sections. (Without being a boat anchor at every obstacle)

After I read thru the thread, I figured I wouldn't be the only one with questions.. Just throwing them out, as I wouldn't want people to skip the ride because they thought there wouldn't be anything fun for them to do out there.


Now, back to a serious conversation.. Does 2 extra cylinders really make that much of difference??

If you have zero cylinders, 2 extra could make a significant difference.

2 cylinders more, always more horsepower and tq. On this coast wheel speed is key a lot of times and power achieves that. More rock with solid ground, not as important.

Warden, this park isn't like gulches or morris mountain, this is a government run piece of land. Almost everything at Beasley is vertical trials, no rocks. There are a few v-ditches & slippery sections (all slippery) if it's rained. There really aren't any bypasses because there aren't obstacles like at other parks. If you get stuck then everyone behind you is stuck.

I read the post, it was the discussion after that made it seem that it wasn't worth the trip, if you didn't fit into the first group. Just clarifying, so that i have a group to ride with  //;D//

[DOUG]

You need to go  if ONLY for 93B.

Rocks, ledges, stumps, wet, steep, roots, you get the picture.

[Lytles_fjc]

For the guys in group 2. what kind of recovery gear are you bringing?
ill have my long strap, hilift with recovery kit, and chains (only used if it comes to that //SLAMIN//)
also basic hand tools.

That should be enough to keep things going when someone gets suck and as usual well be happy to assist when the time comes.
