DURAHAMTOWN SPEED RIDE!

[dreth]

Im trying to get a group ride at durahamtown plantation going for the weekend of October the 7th thru the 11th, which is columbus day weekend! i figure we head out friday after work, drive straight there, catch a few hours sleep, then ride saturday, sunday  and drive home on monday!

the temps should be in the mid 70s to low 80s which will be nice! we can rent a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, living, dining, full kitchen, washer and dryer mobile home for $150 a night and split the bill. or a cabin that sleeps 8 for $120 a night but it doesnt have a full kitchen or washer and dryer. food is served on site for $6 for breakfast, $8 for lunch, $8 for dinner and all meals are buffet style and all you can eat. or we can take food with us and cook in the mobile home!

the price to ride is $25 per day and a night ride is available for an additional $15.
i think that is all the costs involved with the exception of fuel!

SO WHOS IN???

I'm up for going in October, that's just the one weekend I can't.  My wife has a scrap book convention all w/e and I am watching the kids.  Columbus day is not a holiday for me anyway, so any other weekend would work.  The leaves may start changing in Oct. something I miss living in FL.

Alright that should be some good dates for a speed ride. What happened to Labor day weekend was it booked up? Anyway you can pretty much count me in for the ride. Do we need to book the shacks in advance or what.

I hope we can get alot of people from here to repersent Florida, it will be a great time so lets go and ride.

WE are DOWN Dreth! Me, Wifey and possibly some more. They rent quads there so I may make it a family vacation,  . Those dates are perfect as well. If we leave at 5PM from work in Miami we should be there like 1 or 2 am right?

[quads_only]

I may be in!  some of my guys might want to go too!  keep us posted.

Dreth, didn't you go to another riding spot in GA on your last out-of-state trip?  Was Durhamtown better/more fun?  We went in May and had a blast at DP-can't wait to go back.  Wife says one trip a year-next trip will be with her and my son-but probably not Durhamtown, or even a place to ride-

map quest says your looking at a 10 hr 52 min. drive

i just spoke with the folks at duraham town and they said in order to guarantee the cabins we want we will need to book them the 1st week in september! so there is time for everyone to make plans, save, and get ready

[dreth]

This is not just a speed ride but we will have a few rides over the weekend that will be a very fast pace! so if you had a question about bringing kids or not, i say bring em! they have a little something for everyone! tracks, trails, mud, pee wee track, drag strip, beginner trails...................................all trails are 1 way & marked very well so you can ride at your own pace and not get lost

any questions, comments, ideas or suggestions are welcomed.

I'm not trying to piss on anyone's parade, but, that could be a very challenging night drive for those who've never been. The last 20-30 miles gets interesting(once you pass Ocoee). I'd recommend that you drive up during the day. But, it's well worth the trip!

i figure that on my way up( friday morning) i can take down the milage to each turn and call back with the info! and anyone who can leave early friday morning is more than welcome to.  plus those that can caravan up as a group will have each other to find the way. it is tricky but can be done with a little help from each other

[lawn_man mx]

this  sounds  real good.  man  i need  a mini  vacation!  soon  we  mostlikely  join  you  guys    will  check  my  work load ...........

[T2]

Well You know I will leave fri morning as well. And as Dreth said it ait no party without Ride1Rob in the house cheering us on to go faster. Yea boyz if you cant hang in the front move on over and let the BIG DOGS on through.

[Ride1Rob]

You guys are crazy. Anyone that wants to ride w/ me has to be crazy . Then again... anyone that wants to ride w/ you guys... ? Guess I must be insane. Three Loonies I guess. I think we could possibly have a 4th Loonie as well (Felix).
