Oak Mtn Trip - Jan 30th or Feb 13th?

[Loggahead]

Itching to go ride OM. Anyone else interested? I know several of the usuals have the IDIDARIDE this weekend so the possibility of the Jan 30/31 may be difficult for some...

At any rate, Im game for either the weekend of Jan 30/31 or Feb 13/14

[carl]

Feb 13-14th is bad, that's valentine's day weekend.

I concur. I'd be down with the 30th though.

Anyone up for a March/ April trip to FATS?

Yup. I also want to hit Raccoon Mtn sometime this year.

Oooops on the 13th/14th... I hate Valentine's Day... just another phony holiday to take my money. I know, I know, men are :pig:s right? hehe

30th, Im good for! In fact, I'd prefer it then!

I got march 25th-28th off and April 15th-18th off if anyone wants to plan a trip then

You can crash at my place for the FATS trip. It is about 2.5 hours away, but you can hit other stuff around the ATL

what's more romantic than taking the little woman mountain biking?

[Loggahead]

Im game for another trip around March or April as well.

So, what about next weekend? Carl, Dave, and I are in, anyone else for OM on the 30th?

[Maloney]

I have to get everything prepped to move, then move and get everything unpacked before making any trips. I'd sure enough be game for a day trip any time that I'm home.

Eric, the other thing to consider about FATS is the March/April time frame is before the trees come out of their dormant state, and if you have any rain at all (common in the spring time), then they close the trails for several days. The last two trips we've taken there, we've gotten really lucky and been able to ride but both times were a little nerve wracking because there has been rain in the forecast. It might be better to push that trip back to May or so. Just something to consider.

Where's Oak Mountain again? Also, what kind of trails/terrain does it have?

[VT Scott]

Just south of Birmingham. Hard pack, amazing single track, bombing fireroads, heart pounding climbs. 17 miles of real mountain biking.

I may be in for om. And for the trips we need to pick some dates and have a back up plan or two.
