What Trails Do P5 Folks Want No Part Of?

[trigger]

Another way of asking my question maybe: What points of interest will I not be able to access?

Are we there yet?

I've had mine to several of the falls and top of the world. Never seen the eternal flame, I think that's on the other side of I-75? I've seen video of Dragons Back and Widow Maker, no way would you want to try that in a P5. You'd be surprised at some of the stuff you're able to straddle or just go around in a P5 that the bigger machines have to take head on.

Riding a p5 goes like this.
Conga line of wide machines grinds to a halt as they encounter somthing in the trail.
While stopped I look around.
While looking around I notice an ATV trail that snakes through the trees.
I drive the ATV trail because I'm bored and want to see where it goes.
ATV trail pops out above the trail obstical.

Was Nemo tunnel --> Now Jellico V-notch, cave and arch

I'm considering a run to Nemo tunnel while at the TakeOver this year. The loading area I know of is too small to handle a trailer (let alone several of them). I'm assuming when Google maps says "trail head" it's intended for hikers not rednecks. So I'm thinking I will throw the rack in the...

P500 / 520 Ride for 2022 Takeover

Getting this started now. I plan on offering a group ride catering more to the 50" P500 series Pioneers at the Takeover like I did in 2017 & 2018 events. Just posting here to test the participation interest. @lee Link to 2018 thread for background information. Would likely run trails in...

Thanks, gents!

26 will be pretty rowdy going up in a P5. Just get a good running start, what could go wrong?

I went up 26 in a p500 and TripleB dragged JB’s p500 up 26 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The ruts are deeper now. Your old 500 wouldn't make it now and you would probably need 16 or more inches of ground clearance to drag anyone up it now. Unless twra has done some trail maintenance since March.

Yeah that trail head looks pretty tight Lee. That could be a deal breaker for many of us pulling a trailer and you say it's 60 miles away?

Might tag along if you all go to Standing Stone. Last ride was the first time I've been that way and it was a fun trail

Welcome to but it will probably be Thursday if we go that direction. Either that direction or Tackett. Not sure yet.

I gave up on the Nemo tunnel, going to head down the mountain to ride the area around Jellico

- 45 min ride on back roads to get to the trail.
- one of the only real challenging parts is the V-notch
I figure if one of us can get over the step we can pull the rest up (I did it with stock tires + a front locker)

Someone on TCM did a run from Caryville to Nemo and back via trails. I saved the track log. I nothing planned for Thursday. 🤔😎

Lower left of that map - where the gas pump symbol is - is the town of Wartburg.
From what I have heard they are not ATV/SxS friendly.
Thus, to avoid getting a ticket and turned around and sent back I figured I would haul in and out.
My goal is the train tunnel (I might like trains more than SxS).
I did ride almost to Wartburg last year following @JACKAL around.

I'm game! Don't know how many will be in the party but if you lead I'll bring up the rear?
Nomo of course.
