JB's BMRA Barney Fife Ride 12/10/16
When: Saturday December 10, 2016
Kickstands up 10am
Where: Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area
http://www.barnwellmountainra.com/
5miles north of Gilmer,Tx. (155 miles from Bedford,Tx)
We park at the paved area at the top of the hill, to the right, as you climb the hill, just after the entrance gate. Old roadside rest/picnic area. Behind the 3 cabins.
What: 26.5 mile single track. ADVANCED riders only. Enduro type bikes only. 650's and up will have a memorable (bad) day.
An advanced enduro rider will spend 3 to 4 hours on this, if you don't get lost or miss a turn. (Follow me/crew)
$$: $30 day fee +$17 Boat Sticker (bargain) or,
$60 membership/$15 day fee (better bargain)(still need boat sticker)
BMRA/TMTC has recently cleared the trails and remarked them. In my 6+ yrs riding there, it is by far the best it has ever been.
Advanced riders only. There are some bypasses for the most extreme climbs which I take myself. Some climbs on the west side are too hairy.
Print both maps and carry. Bring your glasses to read if you're like me, old.
I/we ride this almost every week if we're not treking to Draper or Stillwater. When it's between 45° and 90°. Not too muddy, not too dry.
I will update here for future trips.
I hope you come check it out.
Regards,
jb in Bedford.
