Actually one of them owns about 50 acres down there and you can ride to the trails from his place. It's about an hour west of St Joe's but not sure of the exact location (I didn't drive when we went). I believe we rode through or near the Sutton's Bluff area. St Joe's is great if you stay off the trails. A kid got killed down there 3 or 4 weeks ago when we were there. Seems that happens about once a year down there. We also go to Land Between the Lakes (Turkey Bay) in Kentucky a couple of times a year. The gang is actually going down next weekend but my boy has a school event so we're not going to be able to make it. Actually we might go down and just ride Saturday and come back Saturday night so he can make his event on Sunday. Void Main wrote: No I don't know Link but I have a couple of buddies who might.

In fact the Colorado 500 was going on last time we were out there and had the gas pump and restaurant tied up at Taylor Park Reservoir for hours. It's in the Gunnison national forest. It's about an hour (maybe a little more) on the other side of Colorado Springs in the fourteeners. We rent a cabin (house) in a little town called Alpine at 9,500 feet. That's the lowest point of our riding which ranged all the way up to over 14,000 feet up on Mt Antero. We probably average over 100 miles of riding a day and we take one day to ride to Aspen which is 140 miles round trip. It's just the most beautiful riding I've ever done. I'll send you an email with a link to some pictures of our trips. St Elmo, Tincup and Pitkin are a few of the close little towns that we ride through often while we are there. We will probably be going to Turkey Bay before October for the second trip. I think that's a little late for us, but we won't know until it gets closer to time to go.
