We had something special... HAD.

When?

[Brad]

it's a whole different experience going down it right after it rains    :

I could not imagine coming down after a rain...  I would have liked to see that... ;D

i slid down the whole thing with both the e-brake and brakes engaged

Still trying to figure out how to make this ride.  Being busy sucks  {boohoo}

Back on topic.....Weather: Looks like it has been raining some up north and in TN, but Beasley is still listed as open. Durhamtown may have gotten and will be getting rain also.
I'll be happy when it cools down, we get less rain and the trees start to change.

[DOUG]

It's not looking good for Beasley, but we will wait and see.  It got hammered by storms last night and this morning.  Same is forecast for the rest of the week.

[Daniel]

I know a nice little storm came through Hoschton yesterday and knocked the power out for a split second.  Fun stuff.

[Richmon]

I hope Beasley is able to hold out.  I am not sure I can manage the drive to d-town with the wife and son.

[Lou]

Well, hopefully Beasley will still be open. I guess plan B is to go to Durhamtown?

http://www.fs.fed.us/conf/rec/ohv/beasley.shtml  open now, less than 1/2" in 3 days. Now that can change real quick but so far so good. chances of rain are going down. We are working on an alternate.

VOTE ONLY IF YOU ARE CHECKED IN TO RIDE AT BEASLEY!!

[Daniel]

If Beasley is rained out, if the back up ride is Aetna, I would encourage everyone to give that place a look-see. It beats the crap out of D-Town. And it seems closer...maybe it's just me.

[Dustin88]

I agree Aenta is a very cool place, its one of my favorite places to ride and I would rather ride there then beasley or D'town.

[Richmon]

I know that I have already checked in and I plan on going but can a stock vehicle run the trails (are there bypasses around the larger obstacles)?  I have only ever been to Mountainside and there were plenty of alternates.
