CORE Tour 2015, Oct 24-25

WrenchMonkey · 09-25-2015, 07:29 PM

CT15 is coming up quick! We scheduled a little earlier this year: Four weeks from now, October 24th and 25th.

Haspin Acres had been a tradition for years, but this time we've decided to mix it up a bit.

We're going to start at Dirty Turtle Off Road (Bedford KY) on Saturday morning, wheel all day, and camp there Saturday night.
They have cabins available with heat and electric, bathhouses, and a nice general store.

Then Sunday morning we'll pack up and head east, to Mud Madness. This is the old Hills N Hollars in Lockport KY.
This should be less than an hour's drive, and a lot easier than last year's Haspin-DTOR trip.

Any and all are welcome, front and rear tow points are strongly suggested.
Post up and I'll put a roster together. Look forward to seeing everybody out there!

- - Specifics and details - -

Times:
We'll meet at the Union KY reststop (71/75 South, milemarker 177) at eight, which should put us at DTOR about 9:00 or 9:30

Sunday, we'll try to get up and gone by nine, to hit Lockport by ten, in case someone wants to meet us for the back half.

Facilities:
DTOR has cabins that sleep four comfortably, up to eight if you're hard up. They're sparse, but have heat and electric.
They also put in bathhouses that looked really nice last year.
There's a general store with some sxs parts, snack foods, and apparel.

Mud Madness has a barn where they take your money. And maybe a portalet.

Prices:
DTOR's weekend pass is normally $35, but I talked to Stephanie, and if we bring a decent group, she'd let us do a $20 day pass.
That will include primitive camping and bathhouse access. Passengers are $5.
The cabins are $60 for four, plus $5 a person over that. They do need to be reserved, with a deposit.

Mud Madness is $15 driver, $10 passengers.

Addresses, Distances and Drive Times:
Dirty Turtle Off Road: 93 Bucks Run Road, Bedford, Kentucky 40006
Mud Madness: 2740 Harpers Ferry Rd, Lockport, Kentucky 40036

Union Reststop to Dirty Turtle: 53 miles, 56 minutes
DTOR to Mud Madness: 36 miles, 56 minutes

If we head to the backside towards mud hole hell we should be fine. Robert do you happen to remember where the bees are?

What's up with bee hill?

itbrokeagain · 10-02-2015, 08:22 AM

Lots of bees. But hopefully with the cool weather they won't be an issue. It was a very good climb. Yes I think it was where you broke the spring hanger

Should be a really nice group! We've got another 14 "maybes" over on facebook, so we'll have to wait n see exactly how many turn up.

itbrokeagain · 10-21-2015, 07:42 PM

I can't figure out why I have no rear brakes. I guess I blew out the master cylinder when I blew a front line at windrock. I have pulled so much fluid through that system there is no way I have air in there
