August 15th. Beasley Ride Discussion Thread

[TJ-xtreme]

I'm planning on going at this point, but it looks like there's about a 40% chance of rain next Friday. Hopefully it clears up between now and then or the trail may be shut down for that weekend.

Looks like we may have a 23rd rig from JF.

Do we have a back up place if it does rain?

[Daniel]

If it rains, I'm definitely sittin' it out, whether Beasley is closed or not. 

this one might be big enough to take some group photos

Where?  The pay/parking lot area...  that's the biggest, most open spot I know of.

Further up 76, where you can get to the other parking lot via FS 93, has an area that is more open and we could get a nice group shot. We can  ride and make our way towards there. Or we could change where we are going to start. Just a thought.

Is there an 'official' place for everyone to meet up?  Reading the thread it appears that some will meet at Waffle House and others at various parking lots.  Would a rookie just pick one of the places and just have his CB on?

I am thinking about going.  Does anyone plan on running 93B.  that is the only trail up there that I have never ran.  would like to give it a shot if one group plans on hitting it. I have never been up it, so if it is not possible on 33s let me know and I want even try it.

[Brad]

i'll try 93b...will/does anyone have an extra fire extinguisher?

[Lhub36]

I'll bring an extra fire ext. if ya wanna use it.

[Brad]
