Just wanted to throw out my :twocents:
I really like the idea of doing some sightseeing in the area. As much as I love riding trails, if I go this far, I want to see some local scenery too. Hell, maybe find a whiskey distillery somewhere? :yup:
I'd also appreciate any advice from guys who have wheeled out of state before. What to pack, common tools, parts, etc.
Dave, there are a lot of ideas and plans I'm working on, so your thoughts are definitely welcomed. I plan on putting some sightseeing rides together, but they might stay at the park. As we do pre-runs I will be able to get a better idea of things.
I'm also willing to assist with some good stops that people might want to make to or from Windrock, coming from various locations.
As far as tools, parts, etc goes, I believe there have been a few threads of that nature, I'll see if I can't dig it up. As far as tools, I tend to carry a full socket set, torx bits, cordless impact wrench, adjustable wrenches, pliers, and ZIP TIES!! Some people carry more, some less. I've never really carried parts with me, but mainly because I couldn't afford spares at the time and never really played too hard. It's also a good idea to bring extra fluids (oil, gear oil, ATF, coolant) and a fluid spill kit.
