When: Sunday, September 7th, 2013 at 10am Where: Turkey Creek/Wine Creek intersection (meet at the gravel parking lot at Price's Bottom - this is a gravel road on the left just before the bridge on Key Road - FS641) - in Google Maps if you will input your location and then Key Bridge, Edgefield, SC it should direct you right there. Just remember to turn left onto FS641 just before you get to the bridge (it is just after a couple of signs referencing the upcoming bridge). What: September 2014's EtTR, it is definitely a favorite of our riders who are looking for a great ride on classic singletrack with a few trail features. We've had a couple of work parties in the past month to get Turkey Creek mowed, hedged and fallen trees removed to be ready for this ride. Some additional work was done on Wine Creek and although not extensive, the reports are it too is okay to ride! This is an intermediate level trail for our area but as long as you are a reasonably fit rider you can enjoy this 7+ mile in/out trail. Back before there was a FATS and a Bartram Trail this was one of the most popular trails in the area. There will be ride leaders and sweepers so no one left behind. For riders looking for additional miles once back to the bridge I'm sure some will peel off to do Wine Creek. Combining the two trails together will give a nice ride of just under 25 miles! You do not have to be a member of SORBAcsra to join us so bring your family and friends. In the event the weather or trail conditions are not acceptable, the ride will be cancelled so watch for postings here! Questions?? email us at SORBAcsra or post here Trail Details

This ride is on and the temps should be in the high 70's and low 80's during the ride. Come on out and explore Turkey Creek and Wine Creek particularly if you haven't ridden these trails before. This is a no drop ride so no chance of getting lost (we will have sweepers)!
Meet at Price’s Bottom. From Hwy 28, at the Georgia/SC border, travel app. 11.7 miles to Modoc, SC turning right onto SC-23, travel app. 3.9 miles turn left onto Cold Springs Road and travel app. 2.9 miles, turn left onto Key Road travel app 3 miles then turn left onto a gravel road (FS road 614) park in the parking lot on the end. If you cross Key Bridge, you just missed FS614. (You will see a couple of signs indicating the upcoming bridge just before your turn to the left into the gravel road)!

Had great weather and good turn out for the EtTR at Turkey Crk/Wine Crk - be sure and check out our next ride that will be held at Hickory Knob State Park near McCormick, SC on Saturday, October 4th at 10:00AM. These trail rides are a great way to check out some of the 150 miles of singletrack we have in the area if you have found yourself stuck in the rut of FATS and Bartram! September's EtTR
