The problem boils down to congesting the trail with too many vehicles within one group. What would have taken an hour, now takes 3 and we spend a significant amount of time doing nothing. That being said, I have no experience with the layout of Tellico and cannot comment as to it's capacity or efficiency. Perhaps SCBRONCO can chime in here and let us know his opinion.
A perfect turnout for a CB event, in my opinion, is 12-14 capable rigs split into two groups per ride.
Spring Run = Tellico
NovRun = URE
Things are shaping up nicely folks.
I like it!
Waiting to satisfy my rock addiction until May will be challenging at best. Hopefully the SOWEGA ride on Feb 7 will provide me a small amount of relief.
Clay, better get those rock lights working. Looks like we will be night riding on new and unfamiliar territory @ Tellico!
Is it a conflict of interest if I bet I break first?
I agree that a group of more than 15 would be tedious at best. Some of the trails there are one way and even the two way routes are tight when passing traffic.
We encountered two groups of 5 while we were there and the act of clearing them waiting was pretty annoying.
On top of all that, the bowl area is the rock playground and each obstacle only has room for a handful of trucks to wait and spectate. The routes thought the bowl cross over each other and I can see it beco
IMF a cluster with a big 30+ rig group. Plus that weekend is likely to be busy for the park since it will just be warming up.
Just my opinion.
