Multi Prentice Cooper Ride 5/26/2018

[Mudder]

I would suggest May 5, Chattanooga is hosting a huge Triathlon on May 20, many people come a week early to train. Rooms booked for miles around. May 13 is Mothers day. Funny how Little Debbie Snacks is the sponsor for all those athelites, guess its the carbs! LOL

Just read this. Mother's day is a deal breaker for us. We will have to catch up next time

Good point, I can’t tell from the site where they are going to be running the race, but if all those runners are out there running it’ll be miserable trying to not run them over.

Momma ain’t gonna be happy if I don’t treat her right for Mother’s Day, and if momma ain’t happy....

Looks like Cinco de Mayo it is. Maybe we can get Dos Equis or Jose Cuervo as a sponsor?

 

[Mudder]

Route does not look like it runs near Prentiss Cooper, it goes southwest from Chattanooga. May 5 looks better for me, or earlier. Weekday would be best actually to avoid congestion.

Cool it’s a 3hr drive for me can you recommend a local hotel where my stuff won’t get stolen?

trailer full of goodies is a risk at any hotel, but you're welcome to stage it at my house and pick up on your way out. I've also got a small camper in the backyard you could use for a night or two. we've been joking about putting it on airbnb.

Yeah hotel is not ideal, but I was hoping maybe some of them had good and present security since there are parks and other tourist draws near by. Might take you up on that, 3+ hours of driving then a full day of riding another 3+ hours of driving make me just want to crash in a hotel overnight. I've driven from AZ to AL straight before and I just don't want to do it anymore, took me a week to detox from the case of RedBull. All the long haul truckers out there can do it but I don't want to.

Count me in

 

[ohanacreek]

With the takeover and all the prep going into it I let this fall between the cracks and let some things get scheduled that weekend. Is anyone still planning on 5/5 or can we move it to a day later in the month?

 

[Mudder]

I am in, whenever. Even a M-F.

 

[joeymt33]

Just plan it, I’ll hopefully make it.

 

[Pioneerlife]

Im interested in joining in on this ride if its still on?? Any chance everybody is gonna try to rendevous at a time and location that sat morning?
Edit
I know its short notice but me and the wife are gonna go ride 4/28 (this sat) at P.C. With the group ride being next weekend and us not ever have being there, we wanna go see what it has to offer. Anybody free and wanna go ride?

 

[Mudder]

Understand park was closed 4/28 for turkey hunting. Just found this. “Prentice Cooper State Forest and Wildlife Management Area will be holding managed turkey hunts on April 3–8, 11–13, 19–21, 24–29”. Whichever date is picked, heres contact info from website. They used to have paper maps, don’t know if they mail/still have them.
