| The people. A thousand people invade a tiny community for a weekend and stay drunk all weekend and then jump on anything with a motor and ride while plastered. Someone is life flighted every year. If you go real early before the drunks roll out of their tents it won't be too bad. Lots of good riding. It's right out my back door so I just stay away that weekend and ride the rest of the year. | |

| That's how it gets at the Bergoo bash, that's why when I have a ride there that weekend, I take my group out on other trails where the crowd is not. We tend to put the hammer down, so we don't need random people with no driving skills and seeing double coming toward us around a turn or stopped around a turn. | |

| Exactly. It's just like the Bergoo bash. It could be really fun but it's too big of a gamble. | |

| My wife and I have road there the past two years and we've had a blast! haven't had any trouble with the "drunken" drivers and the trails are fun/some challenging and I think everyone would have a good time if they go..... | |

| Can you ride the same trails the rest of the year? We have a camp in Bergoo and could ride over and follow markers if allowed. | |

| I think there is some private property. There are some good trails as BPTXP900 said but there is much better riding in Bergoo. Pickens is right out my back door and I ride to Bergoo to ride. And the ride usually isn't that long. I think around 30-35 miles. There are several rides in this area throughout the year and this one usually isn't the best one as far as the route. You would get much more good trail riding in by staying in Bergoo. | |

| Hope the spring ride was a huge success. One young man was killed in Pickens this weekend and another injured. Please keep these families in your prayers. Drinking and riding NEVER mix. | |

| Must have happened at the end of the day. We got back to camp at about 7pm and saw the ambulance turn up the road by the train depot. We had no idea ( I was sober). My cousin wrecked rolled his bike on the road coming back to camp and was fortunate enough to ride back to camp mildly concussed. Prayers sent out. | |
