Coalmont ride for Saturday 03/31

[Delton]

I didn't get very many pics and no video. Sorry, was too busy hanging on and having fun. We covered a ton of new trails today. Over 30 miles and 8 hours. My best Coalmont trip yet. I'll leave this with you. One of a few interesting moments.

As good a day riding that I've ever had. Saw new country and beautiful weather. Not one trail that didn't push the limits of the Honda. We had a couple of "oh s***" moments and nothing got broken. @GlockMeister if you didn't already know it the Warthogs are damn good in the mud as well on the rocks. I climbed a rock shelf that I would have never thought I'd get up without whooping and knocking. Somebody got a little sideways in on a hill. And it would have been a long roll to the bottom.

I picked up a dumbass hitchhiker on the way to Coalmont this morning and he and Delton really hit it off.

You have no patience my son.

Watching the videos makes me wish I lived closer! Brings back great memories! @Delton i believe the water was deeper when you brought @CumminsPusher , Ang, and I on an introductory ride there! Some of the best riding we experienced in TN! Crystal clear flowing water, mud, steep rocky climbs and descents, and overall incredible views ... and now even more trails I am once again envious!

The water level was not bad yesterday either. We had a pretty good weather event on Thursday and we thought it would be quite high but it was lower than we've seen in the past. Found and rode new trails and still didn't touch only about 1/4 of the area.

Wish I could have been there! Has anyone mapped the coal mint trail system yet

Coalmont? Yes, Lifetime Trail Maps Home has it. Real easy to follow. On their site it's called "Coppingers Cove" on their site.

Lol, stupid auto correct! What color is the latest trail you are exploring as indicated on this screen shot of their map

 

[Delton]

That place is huge no doubt. Even bigger than I thought it was. For every trail Don had in his map there was 2 unmarked. Gonna be fun exploring all of them this year.

Here is the first video. We were moving down a pole line to get to another trail when @Manwell decided to make things interesting!

I love how you don’t want him to start tumbling down the hill into your rig so you pull off to the side farther down the hill

Love watching you navigate a trail, you always seem to pick the right line! Unless you edit “wrong lines” out, lol

Yes I moved so he wouldn't take me and the bone with him. I don't edit those out because I got everyone else watching me so I'd never get away with it! I'd get @Delton saying, "where did that video go with you flopping on your side?"

A little preview of @Delton in a video I'm working on.

Craigs machine must have been tired...it looked like it tried to lay down again

This the rut @Delton got into by trying to straddle it. Craig and I went around it.

That's four videos and I have a ton of footage left unused. I may put together a couple of more today.

Awe good ole Pucker Rut. There is one in every town. It is easily identified by paying close attention to the operator. In this case @Delton was without seatbelt and took his hands off the wheel and cage and if not for the “Pucker” factor he would have surely tumbled. May his seat R.I.P.

Thanks for the Videos, like always quality production!
