$3 per vehicle on the trail. Been there twice this year. Both times a week after rain. Several places with deep water and deep ruts.

Yeah, rain causes issues on the trail there.  we'll play it by ear, see how conditions look that day, :idea-007:

Headed into Bankhead this Sunday to show my dad around. Need me to pre-ride anything?

Sunday, ya say??

[Fencejumper09]

That is the plan but nothing in stone yet. It is all pending if they can stick around until Monday morning. If they have to leave Sunday afternoon then we will probably just hit the Cahaba Wildlife Management Area.

I will keep you posted!

Looks like we won't be riding Bankhead Sunday. Dad has to head back to South Carolina

Looking forward to this. Looks like a 50% chance of rain Saturday as of right now but maybe we will get lucky!

Melony and I took a scouting drive, in the jeep, today.  I've got a few roads on the route that are not in the "Free State" rides.  We'll be riding a few dead-ends, we couldn't drive to the end in the jeep, but they seem to be well traveled by hunters.  We also-ran ride the 2 down to the river if we all want to.  There may be some folks that have never been down those 2 roads( :lol-049:).......

Also, maybe a stop at the natural bridge recreation area, it's a free area with a cool natural bridge that's easily seen from the top, if we don't want to hike to the bottom.

We'll also be passing by the Flint Creek trail if anyone wants to do he loop, a $3 fee for that. 

Options abound....lol.....

I have to work Friday, but Melony will be here, y'all can come anytime Friday.

So I officially retire (semi), and this ride STILL falls on a shift I have to work! I might make it Saturday, possibly even Friday night, but I'll have to cut out Saturday night and be at work Sunday morning. Maybe I can work that out. I'd hate to miss another one!

It seems that I'm going to have to miss out on the ride this year, but I thought I would make sure everyone is aware that the 18th is the opening day of gun deer season so be on the lookout for hunters; especially those who like to shoot at sounds.

Not looking good for getting off work Friday to drive up there.

WELL, dang.....that's good news :thinking-022:

We may skip a couple of the dead-ends and just ride down to the river. :bike-038:

Breakfast menu Saturday morning will be biscuits and gravy, with 10 pounds of bacon on the side. :drooling-2:

Looks like I will be coming up Friday but have to leave after the ride Saturday!

Looking forward to another great ride, too bad I actually have somewhere to be Saturday night!
