BY FARE THE BEST PLACE TO RIDE ON THE EAST COST

C-dale · November 17, 2004, 05:31:49 PM

I've spent some time reading all of your posts and have come to the conculsion that all of you from the everglades to jaxsonville have been missing out on what is by fare the most incredibale place you could possiably won't to ride your ATV or DIRT BIKE. Imagin a park that is privatly owned and is 9000 acres, there are 3 mx tracks, two adult and one kids.(the adult has a 60 ft table top) there is a drag strip a mud pit another 60ft tabletop in the middle of the wood that is uses for tricks.
How about 100 miles of one way trails or the retail store on site that has all the gear and parts you could want. or how about the repair shop on hand or the bike washing facilaties or the resturant that serves dinner all weekend or maybe the clubhouse that is open 24 hours to play pool, foosball or table tenis. Did I mention bike rental, and RV, tent or cabin camping or the night ride.

You won't find better unless I were to buy some land and bring all this to FLA.

If you ride you owe it to your self to make the trip to DURHAMTOWN.COM

It's 1 hour due east of atlanta, takes me 7 hours from tampa. fl. and I go at least twice a year.

I don't work for them I just love the riding and need to pass it on.

Chris505 · November 18, 2004, 10:12:54 AM

Did you go up for just one day???
How was the directions to get there(easy?)

Looks like rain this weekend up there or else i would go

T2 · November 18, 2004, 10:16:09 AM

I went up there about july or august with my son, and we had a great time. I posted the pics on the site not to long ago. The only thing that they can inpove are the shacks they have for rent, but hey your there to ride not sleep. Did you pay the extra money to do the nite ride. That was really a good time, its a guided tour of the private areas and it was about a 3 hour ride, yea I said 3 hour ride and never returned JK

. Well glad to you had a good time up there.

ATOMCRF450 · November 18, 2004, 10:25:54 AM

THE DIRECTIONS WERE VERY EASY,AND I COULD ONLY RIDE 1 DAY. BECAUSE I HAD OTHER THINGS TO DO,BUT I WAS THINKING OF GOING BACK REAL SOON.
THAT RED CLAY UP THERE WILL GET REAL NASTY IF RAINS,SO YOU BETTER CHECK THE WEATHER UNLESS YOU LIKE THE MUDD...

Chillinthemost · November 18, 2004, 04:26:10 PM

I wanna go.

Chris505 · November 18, 2004, 05:28:55 PM

whooa... heading up for the weekend....

i will be leaving here sat morning around 1am... the direction on there site look easy to follow... should i also do a yahoo map?

you said the direction were easy,, even in the dark???

C-dale · November 19, 2004, 04:33:00 PM

I'm glad to see so many of you have had the georgia exsperiance. I will say the directions are pretty easy and the mud is fun if it were to rain. the shacks, well there shacks but like the man said your there to ride and riding is what it's all about. overall I call it the disney land of off-road.
And yes this place is all about the family riding.

I am seriously considering buying a large chunk of land in central florida and bringing the georgia exsperiance to us. I will keep you all posted as to my endever. I do have the investers and the desire and I have been activly looking for land. stay tooned.

Moose · November 19, 2004, 08:09:42 PM

Place sure sounds nice, I'm going to take my son there as soon as I can.

DAVEVOO · November 21, 2004, 07:35:26 AM

hay thanks for the info. we can't wait to go.

C-dale · November 21, 2004, 07:49:17 AM

My best suggestion would be to spend 2 or 3 days there unless you live fairly close and can make it a day trip on a regulare basis. we here in tampa live a little fare for that so we go for long weekend at a time.

tennessee also has a very large park, over 800 miles of trails. were going in march for a week. I'll let all of you know how it goes.

weekendwarrior1 · November 21, 2004, 06:59:01 PM

Is the park that your going to in Tennessee called Coal Creek?

tvman · November 22, 2004, 08:54:35 AM

Thanks for the great info on Durhamtown..

It really sounds like a terrific place to ride. Now, my son is bugging me to go there for a few days..

Guess I'll have to load up and try it out.. Do you suggest staying in the cabins??? Can you drive right up to your door and stuff if you stay there??

tvman

ATOMCRF450 · November 22, 2004, 08:57:52 AM

YOU CAN DRIVE RIGHT TO THE DOOR WITH THE TRUCK AND THE ATV.
IT'S ALSO BEST TO CALL IN ADVANCE TO GET A CABIN.

tvman · November 22, 2004, 11:12:03 AM

ATOM CRF:

I'm going to book it for my break between Christmas and New Year's..My son will have a blast there..

Thanks for the information..

I'm glad you all are digin this place. just wanted to let all of you know that the main reason for exposing this is to see how much interest there is for a park like this. I have been doing my reserch and found that a park like this in florida would be an instant hit. I want it to be a complete playground for off-road ridding like georgia because myself like the rest of you are ok with trail riding but once you get a tast for jumping and drag racing in a safe envirment their's no turning back.

I travel in a camper van so I have my sleeping and living arrangments handled but we did get a cabin that last time we went and although there not pritty they certanly do the job when you have a group that wants to cook and take hot showers when ever, It's all preferance. the camp sites have power and water and there is a community bath house that's not bad.
It's a ride in ride out enviorment.

WE LEAVE HOME AROUND 11PM ON THUR AND ARRIVE AROUND 7 AM GIVE OR TAKE STOPS (FLAT TIRES)ALONGE THE WAY. IF YOUR CABIN HAS NO ONE IN IT YOU CAN CHECK IN, UNLOAD AND RIDE RIDE RIDE. OR SET UP CAMP HAVE BREAKFAST AND RIDE RIDE RIDE. THEN WE PULL OUT ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND HALL A&& HOME. USUALLY GET IN AROUND 7 OR 8. THIS WAY YOU ONLY MISS ONE DAY OF WORK BUT YOU GET 2 AND 1/2 DAYS OF RIDDING.

Drink lots of water and stretch, Once your on the track you won't want to get off and it will wear you out quick.

Then you'll have a perspective on how hard it is to race moto for 3 heats of 20 laps. I dont know how they do it. unless your 15 and fearless I guess.

I'm out

C-dale · November 22, 2004, 01:50:39 PM

yea the place we are talking about is coal creek.(coalcreekohv.com) can you tell me anything about it. we also are going to visit highcountryatv.com I guess it's only 3 hours away.

HOW ABOUT ALABAMA?

ANY PLACES LIKE DURHAMTOWN THERE.

weekendwarrior1 · November 22, 2004, 07:21:13 PM

C-dale, the only thing I can tell you about Coal Creek is that it was worthy of a write up in the December issue of Dirt Wheels Magazine. it says they've got 70,000 acres of trails, hills, and mudholes. Open 24/7/365. Can't wait to go
