Rodman Dam Ride '06

Jeffgre · February 07, 2006, 09:17:47 AM

I'm still in. I guess we are meeting around 8:30 or 9am in the pit correct? I'll have my group who just wants to go on a good sized trail ride. Nothing fast or crazy. I've downloaded the new trail system but have no idea what I'm looking at. Looking forward to stopping by the ranger tent and getting an idea of which way to go to keep us in the allowed areas.

The coordinates for the approx. location are
N29.50151
W81.81543

Come across Rodman Dam Rd. from Hwy. 19. Do not come up FS 88. You will probably get stuck unless you have 4wd. Trust me.

Keith-
Yes, that's right adjacent to the pit. I assume we'll play in the pit for a while and then hit the trails.

No one has said anything about the time we are meeting. According to past rides it seems its around 9am. That is what time my group will be there. If there is anyone staying at the campground that would be willing to carry some fuel to Rodmans could they reply by tomorrow so we could exchange some information. We stay in hog valley, I have enough fuel to make it to Rodmans & back, but not enough to do any riding while I am there, (Banshee 409 loves gas). I will have a laptop with me but I don't know if it will work up there or not until I get there. I would appreciate it.

There is virtually no cell service in the forest. I am bringing my FRS radios.

I will have 5 gals. extra on the trailer, and if you wish, I can bring another 5 gal. can with me.

Kurt I thought you were not going to make it.
I have a few more people going with me. Might break down and let the kid ride also.

dirtyface · February 08, 2006, 09:49:41 PM

I am down in Davie fl. I want to go. I was there last weekend at scrub and delancey had a great time. Nowhere to ride down here but the holeylands. looking forward to it.

I have a person coming up to adopt one of my rescued dogs, and wasn't sure which day. They decided on Sunday. I'll be there.

cfrhinorider · February 09, 2006, 03:30:38 PM

Ok, its Thursday two days to go. Is everything still the same, 0900 hours at Rodman Dam? Who are we looking for? Are you going to have a sign or something we can identify you by?

Busta Nutt · February 09, 2006, 05:48:57 PM

I'll be the one with a beer in my hand

Busta Nutt · February 10, 2006, 06:44:03 AM

On my way

ATVXtreme · February 10, 2006, 10:52:23 AM

Is this ATV only or can motorcycles ride this too??? I feel left out.....

Ida_Mann · February 10, 2006, 12:20:13 PM

it's not like your gonna get kicked out for riding on two wheels instead of four,,,,,I usually meet people in the parking area, and I will be in a '03 F150 with a 12' enclosed trailer behind it brewing coffee ;-)

I'll see if I can find a pic and post it of my ride so I can be identified.

Ida_Mann · February 10, 2006, 12:26:32 PM

it'll look a lot like this, but with a shorter enclosed trailer.

cfrhinorider · February 10, 2006, 07:45:11 PM

What is the quickest way to get there coming down 316. Should I go to 19 north to 77?

GSPKurt · February 10, 2006, 09:38:36 PM

Take 19 north to Rodman Dam Rd.
