Well, looks like I'm going to go riding with a couple of friends at Cherokee Creek Cycle Park this saturday. cherokee cycle park (http://www.cherokeecyclepark.com/) I believe it is $25 a person for the day. Is is south of US79, just east of the town of Milano, on Highway 36. Or north of 21 near Caldwell if you are coming from the College Station area.

I'm hoping to talk Whoa into joining us. He's been watching the Dakar coverage and is itching to try the dirt again. Anybody else is welcome to come along. There is road that winds around the place that almost any bike can ride, and the rest are side loops of varying difficulty. I wouldn't try the loops on a fancy dual sport, but a skilled person on a big DR or KLR could do all the easy and maybe some of the medium loops. I'll have the spare dirt bike along if somebody wants to give the dirt a try. It's an easy to ride, low seat height, electric start bike so don't worry about it being too much to handle.

Just give me a heads up if you are going to join us so I can keep and eye out...or make arrangements to travel out together.

The more I think about it the more I think I need to clarify the comment about DR's and KLR's. Tourmeister would probably give it a try (think upside down GS), but if you aren't comfortable in tight stuff on a tall bike then you might consider my loaner...at least to check the trail out first.

That's a pretty good place to ride, I went there last year and had a great time. The trails are one way and have some very tight sections. A full loop is about 23 miles or so. I rode it on a CR250 with no real problems. If you have bark busters you will use them, if not you will use your knuckles.
The manager will lead you around at any pace you want if its not too busy, they are great people. Check on their web site for discount coupons, we saved $10.00 per rider that way.
Man, I sure would like to go back again.
