Levis Trow trip

[jeffgude]

Any interest in a trip to Levis-Trow either of the next 2 weekends? dates, details? I'm a little bit limited due to some family stuff, but would still like to get over there agin this year. Overnight is an option?

[nigel]

Just got back from a day at 9 mile, was thinking of Levis next weekend perhaps, and something else the weekend after, for some reason i got lots of weekends off this month. 9 mile closes on the 15th, when does Levis close?

[shourtt]

I currently looking at going to Levis next weekend as well. Are you going for a day or weekend trip.

[jeffgude]

A day trip will be a lot less complicated.

[SprocketHead]

I'm still in for next weekend... I'm planning on camping on 14th and/or the 15th.

I've never been there, so post a link for the MORC approved campground and directions.

[Magic]

You can camp right at the trail head on Fischer Road. We stayed their this past weekend. No showers, but bathroom's are there. Have a great time, we sure did.

Great weekend for Levis! Perfect weather. The climbing was excellent down at Devil's Lake! Funny to see you and Greg on I94. Glad to hear you had a good time.

[jeffgude]

Ok how about an overnight 10/14 - 10/15? The trails are worth a full day of riding. Will be a cold night to camp. I have camped at the Russell County Park campground. Nice facilities, but I'm not sure whether the showers, etc are open this late in the year. Trailhead camping might be an option, but would campfire be allowed?

Here is a link to trail info.

http://www.worba.org/nasti/

As far as I can tell gun deer season not open. I don't know of any other hunting issues there this time of year.

Who is interested?

[Adam Hjelle]

Can't do 10/14-15, but am planning on an overnighter 10/22-23 up there.

[Magic]

Yes you can have a camp fire Jeff. They have fire rings at all the tent sites. Plus the Shelter has a great wood fireplace and you could sleep in their if it's still open. The trails are in great shape, some leaves falling on the trail but you can figure out which way to go. Others were staying at Lake Arbutus camp ground near Hatfield. They have showers but not sure how late in the season they stay open. Bow hunting is going on right now. So is small game hunting.

[Wolfchimp]

Can't do 10/14-15, but am planning on an overnighter 10/22-23 up there.
Hmmm, 22-23 huh? I was thinking about riding at Levis that weekend too. We'll see if I have enough gas money though.

Let me know, I am heading up there with one other guy, the more the merrier.

[nigel]

Jeff remind me about this tonight.

[shourtt]

Is anyone still heading out there this weekend?

[nigel]

i will be there either way. May camp Friday, or may just drive out Sat morning sometime. However I will be on the trails Saturday!

[jeffgude]

Is anyone still heading out there this weekend?

Yes. Either Friday afternoon or Saturday am, depending on interest for Friday.

If interested, speak up.

[SprocketHead]

Yes, I'm still in...

I still have an empty seat in my pickup. PM me if you want to carpool.

[jeffgude]

So at this point I see 4 of us - Holtz, Reinhardt, Loerzel, myself.

Everyone "in" for camping Friday night at the trailhead? Forecast right now is for some rain Thursday, clearing Friday and nice Saturday, Temps 45 - 70 degrees.

I would be able to take Friday afternoon off work and get an early start, not sure whether that works for anyone else. I have a Grand Caravan, I can carry 2 other people, bikes and camping gear with no problem, though 3 others would be pushing it a little.

[Magic]

Just to let you know, camping at the trailhead is $5.00 a night and $3.00 a day for riding. There was some firewood, but I don't know how much is left. The woods are full of downfall for you to burn. Most of the sites have picnic tables at them also. Have a great time, I know we did. Stay warm and keep the tires rolling.

[KleinCrazy]

Jeff,


I might be a last minute show. Right now I am planning on going but am still undecided on camping friday night. Would like to and shouldn't ahve a problem, but something might come up.

If I do decide to go I can take 4 bikes and people for a day trip or 4 bikes and 2-3 people for a camping trip.

I'll keep you posted.

James

[waitabit]

I'm interested, I could also leave early Friday, I'll let you know.

[SprocketHead]

We're building steam for Friday afternoon!

..I can take off work at Noonish, or before if neccesary.

[waitabit]

If you camp at the trail head, where do you check in/pay?

[Magic]

You pay right at the trail head. There is a post with the forms and you pay the post.

[SprocketHead]

...camping Friday night at the trailhead?...

[Wolfchimp]

So there is a group going this weekend(15-16) and possibly another group going next weekend(22-23)?:confused:

[Adam Hjelle]

Myself and one other are for sure going up next weekend...but it sounds as if everyone else is going up this weekend.

[nigel]

So there is a group going this weekend(15-16) and possibly another group going next weekend(22-23)?:confused:

Ima try and go both weekends.

[nigel]

Official word is in.......My woman and myself will be heading to Levis to camp Friday around 230-3ish. So i will be there that night, hopefully tending a nice warm forest fire while enjoying some dark brew.

D

[shourtt]

If luck goes well, I will be heading out Friday night to camp and bike for the weekend as well. Does any know if the rock climbing out there? I have some friends who would be interested in that type of activity as well.

[waitabit]

Man, the forecast look's absolutely perfect for camping and riding!:banana: :banana: http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/new/8_22/13_4_10.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824YYUS) http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_72.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824YYUS) http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_13_16.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824YYUS) http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_4_104v.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824YYUS)

[Wolfchimp]

The only climbing near there is not exactly close. There is excellent climbing at Devil's Lake State Park outside of Baraboo, WI. (just south of the Dells). There is some climbing on the way down to Levis at Willow River State Park (outside of Hudson) but the climbs are short and rather difficult. (ratings between 5.9 and 5.13, more 5.11s and higher)

[KleinCrazy]

Ok,

Lets get a final roll call for the trip. I need to figure out how much chili to brew up tomorrow night for dinner on Friday. (granted leftovers could be breakfast on Sat I guess)

Mike and I will be leaving in the Taxi about 3:00 or there around from South St. Paul.

Who is driving, hitching a ride, needs a ride leaving when etc.?

Also, Meat Chili? Vegi Chili? Hot, Mild, medium, Nuclear both going in and coming out? I can make everything and will everything but the meat will be out of the garden. I'll have sour cream and cheese and cheddar Cheese to cut the heat.

I'll bring bowls and spoons, everyone else is responsible for whatever else.

Frito's, rice, corn bread all go good with chili.

any side dishes are welcome chips, vegi's, whatever. if somebody makes cookies or brownies oh yeah you will be welcome.


I'll have a 2 burner White gas stove along for cooking.

Friday Dinner is the only one I'll share, you have to get all other food on your own :p

[waitabit]

What about lunch on Saturday, will it be powerbar's by the side of the trail or is there an accessible restaurant?

Ther is neilsville kinda close but I have never eaten there. People will probably want to bring sandwhich fixings or something. I will probably bring peanut butter, jelly, bananas, and totilla's to make wraps for myself at lunch. but if people want to go in to town they can.

Chilli sounds great anytime!, any temp!

I was gona ride with Jeff, but St. Paul is closer... Maybe we can all meet there at, say 12:30ish....??? Just an Idea... I'm coming from Fridley and I would drive myself, but I'd rather pool.

I have a pickup with 1 empty seat, room for 4 bikes, a whole buncha beer and other camping essentials.

[jeffgude]

So let me make sure I have this right: Sprockethead and waitabit are riding with James. James is bringing Chili, the rest of us to bring sides, etc. Doug Holtz and friend will meet us there. Correct? Sounds like a plan. I assume James knows how to get there, I94 to Hwy 95, then turn left onto J and up the road short distance to the trailhead.

My plan is to leave by mid-day Friday, maybe earlier. I agree with James as far as bringing food for Saturday, I'd rather bring food than head to town. I'll probably bring enough to keep my options open.

I'll send my ph and cell to you. Weather is supposed to be great.

Sorry, I can not have 2 Mikes in my car at once :p

So Welcome Aboard.

But really, I would call my car full with 3 people and gear, I am not bringing the dog so I have enough room.

I will not be able to get out of work before 2:00 or so. Every other Friday is a pain at work and this is one of those.

I will PM directions to my place.

So we don't double up on gear, I will be bringing

large cooler,
2 burner White Gas Stove
Camping Kitchen Gear and such
MORC Pint Glasses ($5.00 each)

[waitabit]

WE'll see you on Friday, figure it out from there.

Sounds good. I will probably arrive at Levis early, I think I will take the whole day off tomorrow.

[SprocketHead]

I'll ride with James then,,,,, Unless Jeff wants to meet a James's house at 2:00ish... I was thinking we could distribute the load & carpool from there.

Either way, I'll be at James's place by 2:30.

Either way, I'll be at James's place by 2:30.Or I could ride with Jeff and you with James and the weight will be distributed more evenly.Or vice versa, what do you think?

[SprocketHead]

Let's just Peddle from here! ~160 miles would take 12 hours by Fat Tire Express. :etard:

Sending you a PM, will spare everyone here from more details.

[KleinCrazy]

Chili is cooking.


Will be on low in the crock pot until we leave tomorrow. (Sorry Mike, you will have to smell chili all the way there)

At the moment it is not to hot, but I am giving it time to meld all together and come up in heat as there are 6 anahiems, 8 serano's, 6 chili, 1 thai, and 3 Habenaros in it along with tumeric for color and Penzey's Hot Chili Powder and Cumin for flavor. Salt and Pepper of Course.

pinto, butter and cannalenni beans along with onions, garlic, green pepper and beer. Couple of secret ingrediants that for enough beers I'll tell you.

See you all tomorrow.

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know if the campsites are full or if I should call before heading out there.

[jeffgude]

highly doubt its full

[SprocketHead]

Last minute update, I'm taking the whole day off.. I could be ready to go as early as 10:00am.

..I do not have your number James, so, I hope you're listening.

I think I'm gona drive myself, unless somebody wants a ride. I may stay Sat night.

Weather looks great!

Anyone else out there want or need to carpool?

I might bring the dog with me now.. hmmmm..

James

[waitabit]

Have fun you guys! Kerry and I were *this* close to coming out there and surprise crashing the party tonight. But alas, we decided to stick around here. Have a good trip!

That Chili sounds great James!

What a Terrific Weekend! Couldn't have better fall weather, Great mountain biking!

...Thanks for the Chilli James, it was excellent!

Hopefully James will have some video soon as well.

[bigwheel]

Looks like you had an excellent trip. I'm envious.

[Adam Hjelle]

Just a reminder if anyone still wants to squeeze in a Levis Trow trip, myself and another are going up on Friday night, and riding Saturday and Sunday morning (10/21 - 10/23).

[Wolfchimp]

Adam- There is going to be a decent group there this weekend. Two friends of mine and a few others are going to be down there friday and saturday night also. if you have lights bring them. We plan on doing a night ride. Granted everything goes as planned, I will be getting down there late friday night.

[Adam Hjelle]

Awesome, good to hear we won't be lonely. Neither of us have lights, so we will have to pass on the night rides. I am assuming you will be camping at the trail head?

[Wolfchimp]

Yep, the trail head is the place to be. Its nice to have the bathrooms right there. So far its just me driving down. I may end up with at least one other person though.

[Adam Hjelle]

Are there showers at the trail head, or just toilets?

[Magic]

Just toilets. No showers at the trail head center.

[Wolfchimp]

Well, its final. I am driving down friday and will be staying until sunday afternoon. I'll be driving a black honda accord with two brightly colored bikes on top! See ya there.

[Adam Hjelle]

Nice, we will get there later on Friday night, leaving after work (6-6:30 depart), and won't head out till Sunday as well. We will be in the silver focus zx3 with two bikes on top.

I agree, maybe I'll be heading elsewhere. Well its only tues. Maybe something will change.

[Adam Hjelle]

My parents live in Wisconsin Rapids, about a half hour from Neilsville, they usually get the same weather as the Twin Cities, just a day later. So judging from our forcast it may rain on Saturday. Are there any other good camping riding places about the same distance?

[Wolfchimp]

It looks as if the weather in Cable, WI is not going to be any better. Maybe the system will stall and the rain will be pushed off until monday.

[Wolfchimp]

Hmmmm, looking at my bank account, I am not sure I have the funds for this weekend. Looks like I may be staying in the Cities for awhile.The fact that my car just went into the shop doesnt help either. :hit: Happy riding to all!:banana:

[Adam Hjelle]

Looking at the forecast, looks like we might head elsewhere...we'll see.

[Wolfchimp]

Im thinking you may have to drive quite a ways to find decent weather. It looks like there is a %30 of rain for most of MN and WI and the temps will be in the high 40s to low 50s. I'll be riding in Red Wing if its not raining.

[Adam Hjelle]

Looks that way...has anyone done any riding in the Rapid City, SD area? Is it worth the drive out there?

[Adam Hjelle]

Looks like we are heading to Decorah, IA for the weekend, not Levis as the weather looks like it won't cooperate in WI.

[Wolfchimp]

Have a great trip! I hear there is some good riding down there. Happy trails.

[Wolfchimp]

So Where Did You Guys End Up Riding?

[Adam Hjelle]

We ended up heading down to Decorah, IA. It was an awesome trip! The trails down there are incredible, techical steep climbs, rippin fast downhills, smooth flowing sections, steep challenging sections, they have it all. It is definately worth the drive down there! The bluffs are beautiful as well.


If anyone heads down there, I would definately recommend stopping in at Oneota River Cycles, met the owner, he hooked us up with a map and loop to ride, and he is an awesome guy!

We will definately be heading back next spring for some more happy trails down there!
