August 15th. Beasley Ride Discussion Thread

[Dustin88]

I am also bringing my quad so If anyone else wants to bring a quad that would be sweet!

The Chevron is good.  How long will it take from there to get to the WH by 8:30?  Got get smothered and covered...

Since we have so many vehicles should we think about splitting up and start at different ends of the trails? Just a thought.
93B is the only one that some will not be able to do.

I would say we have to have a least 2 groups.  if 30 jeeps make it up it would suck to try and do that as one group.

Man, I want to go to this so bad.
Honestly, I'm a bit worried...I go to the Beasley Knob page & it says "Difficult to Most Difficult" & me being such a noob I'm worried about messing something up on my daily driver.
Anyone got any advice for me?
Like, what if there's something I'm not comfortable doing?
I just want to learn the ropes before I go out trying something way out of my league.

No worries! Beasley is not hard in anyway. Just hill climbs that are slow and steady. We will look out for you! I just called the ranger station and we are a go for tommorrow! Should be a great day. As for the extremely large group... we will figure it out when we all get there. 10am latest we are hitting the trails. If you are late, we are on ch.7 {letseat}

Come on out.  We were all newbies once.  It's all about driving style. 

On the trail, always pick a spotter, and listen to him.  Don't hammer it, use finesse.  We don't practice "if parts aren't flying, you aint trying!"  lol.  Well Larry does.   

Don't try anything you are not comfortable with.  Build up over time, a little more each time you ride.  A stock Jeep is very capable in the right challenge.  Beasley Knob is probably the most stock/newbie friendly place around if it's dry.  If it's wet, I hear nobody's good. 

So Livingston, NO DOORS?

Nothing could possibly be out of the norm on your first wheelin trip with your stock daily driver....

.....just be careful when ya "bump it"



So WH at 9AM.... is this what time we are going to be getting grouped together and heading to the trails? So if we want to get breakfast, arrive early?

Ted and I will be heading up and spending the night there. 200 miles/4hrs away, 8hrs total and a full day of wheelin is alot for 1 day, did that last weekend with Aetna, taking it easy this time.

 {ehm}  If you want bfast get to the waffle house early. We will be leaving there around 9:30 or so since the trail head is about 2 miles or so away. We plan on riding at 10am from the pay station. This should give us enough time to air down, disconnect and be riding by 10. If you are later than 10 follow the dust and get on ch.7. The trail system is less than 11 miles long.  {salute}

Weather is going to be beautiful tomorrow. Me and daniel have to figure out who is driving....

[Krawler00]

You'll be in  8==D boys Jeep right?
