This is my current plan for those interested in riding up from Birmingham! We can meet at Big Number 1 or somewhere along the route.

I would like to leave by 10:30 am for a 2 hr ride to Chef Troy's Talk of the Town in Houston for a delicious lunch. Plan to stop shortly after lunch in Moulton for gas and restrooms.

I currently have us routing through the NATRA property for a little bit of gravel. We can modify this plan when we get to the area if we are just ready to get to camp.

This should put us arriving at camp by 5pm which would leave time to set up and run to Hohenwald for supplies if needed (cold beer)!

I can create a separate ride if we need to discuss more details or just PM me!

Really excited for this one!

I'm dirtbike-less at the moment, but I may meet up and ride to lunch on the Versys.

Good Deal! I bet @KevinB could handle it on the Versys anyways!

Is there a GPX file of the Dirt Devil? I like to be prepared if I end up separated from the group!

What's next on the list??   You had quite the collection when I looked at the Husky last year.

My mom fell and broke her ankle this morning so I'm out. Gotta stay local and help her out for a while.
I hate to miss this ride, but family comes first.

Have fun and take lots of video and pics for those of us stuck at home.

Well...I've got a couple of dirtbikes,  they're just both T.U. right now. :)

My 450 is at the dealer awaiting tear down. Will need a new cylinder/piston at the least,  complete top/bottom rebuild at the worst.

The 200 is in better shape...stripped head bolt and leaking coolant. Hopefully just needs a Helicoil and head o-rings.

We'll keep everybody together... waiting at turns and such.  Also, it's not going to be a high-speed ride.  We're going to enjoy the scenery, help people through the creek crossings (if they need it), and generally have a relaxing day.

In case I confused anybody by talking about the other campground, let me clear it up...


  • We are camping at Meriwether Lewis campground on the Natchez Trace.  I will try to get close to the bathhouse at {35.524817, -87.455400}.
  • The ride will start from the campground at 9:00am.  The late start is to accommodate people who may not be able to camp Friday night.
  • The first gas station will be Plowboys, which is 34 miles from the campground.   Route: https://goo.gl/maps/fjfVcWJ9u3A2
  • From the gas station, it is about seven miles to the start of the Dirt Devil, where Ken will take over.  I will ride sweep to make sure that we don't lose anybody.

There are some other waypoints in the attached file, e.g., gas at {35.913617, -87.331283}.  If you have a Garmin, it should be easy to load the attached route and waypoints.

What we've got here, is a failure to communicate.  Strother Martin as the Captain in Cool Hand Luke.

If I go on this "night ride", can I bring my teddy bear?
