Under advisement from the trail designer/builder of the Hickory Knob Trail System who assessed the trail over the past weekend, the trail was already too wet to ride without damaging it BEFORE the additional rain Monday night through Tuesday morning. We are postponing the Bikefest at Hickory Knob State Park until April - but if we do not get additional rain this week we will hold an Explore the Trail Series ride at Wine/Turkey Creek Trails.........details below - if we do get additional rain of any consequence this ride will also be cancelled.
Explore the Trail Series Ride
Saturday, March 12th, 1:00pm
Wine/Turkey Creek Trail System
We will meet at the end of Wine Creek at the parking lot on 283. If you ride all of Wine and Turkey and back you will have ridden approximately 25 miles............if you turn around at the end of Wine (near Key Bridge) you will have ridden approximately 10 miles. Please come participate - again we will have three ride groups and no one will be left behind. Please let us know if you plan to participate so we can have adequate after - ride snacks and drinks. If you have invited others to join us for the weekend please ensure they are aware of the changes.
Directions from Augusta: Take Fury's Ferry Road/28 north into South Carolina to Parksville, SC....turn right across the railroad tracks on Price's Mill Road (the sign indicating this road is quite small it is just past the old fire station, etc on the right). Travel approximately 6 miles and the road will deadend into Key Road. Turn left and follow the road until the next stop sign, this is 283.......turn right onto 283. You will travel approximately a mile (watch for the brown U. S. Forest Service sign on the right).......turn right into the paved parking lot at the Wine Creek Trailhead. From the SC border this will take you approximately 30 minutes.
If you need directions from a different city/location, please email me.
