[KevinB]

When: Wednesday, Aug. 22  Monday, Oct. 8

Where: Talladega Nat'l Forest

I'm going to haul the KTM to Coleman Lake in TNF...should be there @ 9:30am. I'll be making a loop to Cedartown for lunch, exploring dirt roads and anything else that looks interesting along the way (maybe @ 2 hours each direction).

Ride postponed...

Halfway there and just realized I left my boots at home. Maybe try again next week...

Bummer!

 Dang, hate to hear that.  :(

But look on the bright side...I spent the morning cutting grass so I would say your day has been better than mine.  :D

Ugh. That's  the kind of thing I do, I've gone climbing and forgot the rope; canoeing and forgot the paddles, backpacking and forgot my tent poles.  If my riding gear gets back from Idaho ( ups has it) in time, I may try to join you, I know all dirt around Cedartown.

Are you going next Wednesday?

[KevinB]

If there's some interest, we can do it this Wednesday.

[KevinB]

Just discovered my rear wheel bearings are shot...probably won't have a chance to work on it by this Wednesday.

[marquez7890]

Okay and where do you park when you go? I use a Honda Civic to tow and I'm just wondering if the parking spot is easily accessible.

[KevinB]

I parked at the Ranger station at the intx. of FS500 / US78 last time I went. I was going to use the parking lot at Coleman Lake next trip.

FS500 to Coleman Lake should be doable in a Civic...it's a well graded gravel road. Google Maps shows it quicker for me to use Co. Rd. 61 north from US78...don't know what type of road it is, though.

[marquez7890]

Okay and if go on another Wednesday let me know and I'll try to join youyou.

[KevinB]

I'm off this coming Monday and will give this ride another shot.
