What, and where is LBL?

Posted by: Moto92

Its regaurding the EXrider group ride at Turkey Bay at LBL...Land Between the Lakes in western Kentucky.
Is that where you are going to stay Rico? Id think it would be better if we all stayed in the same location. Ive never stayed overnight there so I dont know where to go. I just thought maybe we were going to camp at TB itself, like down by where the main road inside goes down by the lake.

We just got back from there this past weekend. Weather was perfect! Rained on the way up and when we crossed the TN river, it stopped. A little chilly at night, but 45-55 or so during the day. PERFECT. We went up to the silo and were lucky enough to see a bald eagle soaring in the air about 30' away. It was awesome!

We had never camped there until this time. No electricity. They upgraded the johnny's though. There is some water somewhere, I hear... as in one faucet for everyone. Anyway, we stayed in a 20' enclosed with a house (propane) heater in it. It couldn't have been any better.... Well we did miss watching Huevos Grandes vids at the trailer at night. Generator is too noisy! There is an area designated for 24hr. generators for those of you who have them.

Rico.... Oh yeah, my son and I came out of the woods and onto one of the coves there. This guy was on a 400 with cut fenders and a number on the front... I stopped and asked him if his name was Rico.

Of course he had never heard of EXRiders. I filled him in on the April ride.

What are the dates for the meet down at LBL?

Posted by: 400exdad

BlastrEatr300ex,

We drove up from Memphis too. About 4 hrs. I think you could ride the 300. They don't check that too closely. As a matter of fact, I just realized that I clearly had his age as 11 when I registered him on his 80.

Where do you guys usually ride in Memphis?

Posted by: Moto92

froggie, the dates are April 5-7.

I'll be reserving a cabin this week for the trip,,I believe they're setup for around 4 people,,,I'd like to camp at turkey bay,,but we're comin up on the rainy season and knowing I have a solid shelter around and over me sounds much better than bein stuck in a tent if it does rain..once I get everything straightened out I'll post the location and cabin number for you other guys if ya want to reserve one close,,so we can sit around at night and tell lie's about how fast we are..

I'll be in Cabin A-4 at wranglers campground,,,it's located near the front entrance,,they said they have no more small cabins but do have 2 large ones left right next to the cabin I got.

Large cabins are $49
small cabins are $29 both have electric but no water
but showers are in campground.

I won't be down until saturday either...

Hey guys.....like Rico said....I wont be down til Saturday either. My dad cant stand ridin for more than 2 days and hes the only one who can take me. Also, dont worry bout the age limits, ive been 6 times and im not 16 for a little over a week now. I wouldnt worry bout it. Also, it was planned that i would be up there at Wranglers that weekend too Rico but that got cancelled so ill just be goin home everynight since i only live an hour away.
Also, ill get some pics developed of the "BLUE" trailer and post em when i get em. You cant miss it. Also Ill try to keep ya updated on the weather as the date get nearer. I think its like 35 days til the ride

How you guys wanna ride? Ride as a group or split up? I personally dont care but you have to agree not to run off and leave us lower displacement guys behind

GTG for now though but ill try to keep updated on the post and the ride as it draws nearer. Later peeps.

Does anyone know if there will be any dirtbikes going down? A friend of mine wants to go but doesnt want to be the only one there.

Posted by: Striker49

Tell him to come down......there may not be any bikes with us but we can always use another rider, just tell him not to run off and leave us
