Title: Mountainside Offroad Park: Pictures and Trip Report
Post by: Chris Hyde on June 07, 2008, 11:43:10 PM: Ok guys, this is the bottom line. This place rocks!!!! It is very nice now in its starting stages, but is going to be MUCH nicer as time goes. We got the Royal tour today from the park owner, Bob. He was so cool and I will do anything I can to support him. The place has so much to do and something for everyone. It is officially my favorite place to wheel and I will be going back again and again.

Here is the full set of our pics (Thanks Juan for taking them!!)

95* outside and an ice water soaked towel around the head works wonders. I think we all did it, but mine was a bit extreme. Mike, Tony and Juan just put them around their necks. :D

Title: Re: Mountainside Offroad Park: Pictures and Trip Report
Post by: DOUG on June 08, 2008, 01:56:09 PM: The pictures don't do it justice, nor show the steepness that really exists. The place is great, with a lot of climbs at all levels. He told us that only 1 vehicle has ever made it up Bad Egg, and it took 1.5 hours and some paint off the corners that we saw on a tree. It was very hot, dry, and dusty. We have over 80 photos that include vistas and the newly cut climbs, like Bad Egg, from top and bottom, from which you can only see half way at most. There were climbs we did that were 3 and 4 side by side, so we went up one, around, and up the others. The slick rock faces are cool, and there are many. More to come after th are all uploaded.

We all need to discuss the next ride. Maybe we can talk about it at Tellico or we can figure something out before then. Chris will have to organize the July ride. I won't be able to make it. I'm going to Las Vegas towards the end of July. If it's an early August ride, I probably won't make it for that one either.

I know there are some people wanting to do River Rock and a lot of people interested in Mountainside. These seem to be the front runners for the July/August run. Personally I hope everybody decides to do Mountainside and then River Rock. I won't make the first one and really look forward to another exclusive weekend at River Rock so I hope I don't have to miss that one.
