Golden mountain ride this weekend

Deleted member 1632 · Jul 22, 2024

I didn't want to create an event in the ride section as it's not my event and I think this section gets more eyes anyway. Who's going to the Golden mountain ride in TN this weekend? Anyone down for an irate meetup?

Awesome weekend! The park was 98% trail rigs/bouncers and buggies 1% gaykay/JL/gladiators and 1% SXS :smokin:

. It had a very old school, park wheeling in the early 2000s vibe.

Was glad to see Sam too. Had been 1.5 years since I had seen him last, and our son enjoys him and the yeller buggy.

It was great to be back there. Supposedly insurance for off-road is going through final underwriting so should be good to go soon.

For sure. Yeller probably has more trail miles than most road going cars do.

Best ride I've been on all year!

T'was great to be back in the friendly confines of Golden Mountain again! I didn't bring the buggy since I woke up with an eye swollen shut Friday morning and just bummed an open passenger seat with a buddy. Went up Friday evening with the family to hang out, eat supper, and see some friends again for the first time in a few years.

Went back early Saturday morning and rode in a group of two Jimmy Smith buggies and had hit or seen all the "big name" trails/obstacles by 10am. After that, we just went out trail riding and avoided traffic jams until 4ish. They called it quits for the day since nothing was broken and we had ridden nearly everything there minus some short trails and just wanted to avoided any potential traffic jams if possible. They loaded up and head out. I wandered around for a bit to see a few more folks before heading back to mom's to replace the started on her truck.

Was a fun trip, with great traction, minimal dust, maximum humidity, and a great turnout. Supposedly the offorad insurance is nearly good to go, so hopefully the park will be back open for normal riding soon.

Enough typing, here are some pictures.
