BEST P5 route to the RBB campground from the Comfort Inn? I'll be there around 10am in the morning

Does anyone have a map available for the West Side of I-75? I have heard there is an eternal flame and other cool features but I have no clue how to get there?

BEST P5 route to the RBB campground from the Comfort Inn? I'll be there around 10am in the morning

From Comfort Inn turn right go under I75, at Shell station turn left go up gravel road that is trail 12. Take 12 to junction of 12/10/7 trails. Turn left onto trail 10 and stay on it bypassing trails 8 then 14 that will be off to your right, the next trail will be trail 11. You can take 10 all the way to Stinking creek road then turn right and 4 miles blacktop to RRB.


OR you can turn right on trail 11 taking it downhill all the way to a T with Trail 13. Turn left on 13, cross the creek and follow the trail / road to a T. That is also Stinking creek road, turn right and take it 2 miles to RRB campgrounds.

Did any of you guys ride much on blacktop? And if so did you have any trouble with law enforcement? In particular any issues with not wearing helmets? I didn't get to make the takeover had to work, but we have a group going this Friday thru Sunday. The law states all must wear helmets on county roads but many locals tell me they wont bother you if you aren't doing anything stupid.

Uh oh.....


We only passed one unmarked, there at the interstate at 141 and he didn’t even check up. There was also a game warden that pulled in next to us at the Pilot and didn’t look our way either.

I don't even own a helmet.....I guess that's fixin to change.

We were all at the church at the end of trail 2. A cop circled through and smiled and waived. I was contemplating the road back and honestly wasn't sure what to do. I wasn't 100% sure of all the laws. I decided to go for it, mind my manners, and see what happened. I didn't have a helmet but did wear my seat belt.

It's about 3/4 of a mile from the church into Lafayette. Then it's an 8 mile ride down the main drag out to the interstate. A few blocks down the main drag I ran into the cop again and he just waved as I passed. I also passed a group of about 6 razors stopped at a gas station. Didn't look like they had helmets.

I made the trip through town without incident and crossed over the interstate then took old highway 63 up to stinking Creek road and back to camp.

Like ohana said as well as others, don't be an idiot and you'll be fine. Follow the law, don't interfere with traffic, just be cool.

I also made several trips to the gas station via roads and did not have any issues.

I think if local law enforcement were out to get people we would have seen a much different environment but that simply wasn't the case. They have a good thing going there.

WOW... That's a long drive back from the church off 2.
Ya, don't be stupid, stay off the interstate and main hyw if you can and you will be fine. If stoped, apologize, play dumb, and ask for best directions back.

 

[Cuoutdoors]

Lol yea it's a solid 30-40 minute trip by road. I only went that way because I knew it was the only way to get back in time for events at camp.
But yes I always take that approach. Be nice, play dumb, and ask for help. It will get you a long ways.

Yea but I recall we drove back from the Church on 2 Wednesday night and took the long way. I think we left the church at like 11. It wasn't bad. We made it home before sunrise.

My wife and I rode with helmets on around 75. The other two in our group did not, only their kids had helmets. We didnt have any issues either.

Trail 26 By-Pass and unmarked roads.
Trail 2 is a very nice ride. But to the unknown, you have to go up trail 26. The first 1/2 of 26 is experienced riders only. It is a large mountain climb with several challenging switchbacks and hill climbs.
BUT... There is a gravel road bypass.
BYPASS - Once at end of #2 & bottom #26 you will see a white church. Continue on out and to the left. You will see a gravel road. That will take you to the 1/2 way point on 26 and will bypass the difficult sections. Rest of 26 is easy.
23 & 13 are NOT a dead ends, It is just a road not part of the system. You can see the added roads.
