RIDE PLANS :

FRIDAY:  park opens at 8am...members will arrive throughout the day to set up camp and wheel.  There will be no structured Friday rides.  Get together with those that are there and work out wheeling plans.  Camp fires and what not Friday night at sundown.  GaTR ride rules apply to all that come Friday and wheel as a GaTR club member. 

SATURDAY:  9:30am(Alabama time) riders meeting.  We will break into groups of like wheeling capabilities and head out to hit the rocks.  The park is not too big so lunch can be back at the camp sites at 1pm.  After lunch we can re-group, stay in the same groups, make bigger groups, smaller groups, whatever may seem to make the wheeling better.  Wheel for the rest of the day.  Camp fires and more what not at sun down.  Maybe a little night wheeling if a group feels up to it.

I'll be on the easy to slightly moderate trails since I'm in the WJ and still at 2" on 31's. I am up for some that are a bit more difficult but have to pick the lines very carefully.

Looking forward as well. Only been to Choccoocco once last year and one of the guys got sick so we cut the day short. We only got a few of the trails in but we did do Rubicon in the WJ. That was a lot of fun.

Yep, it was a trap...and I fell right into it.  I thought it was too easy, and it was!  Oh well, I had a good time, and learned what I need to address before Hale.  Today has been not too bad, but not what I intended to do.
