Well, if you want to see the pre-eBike videos, you have to roll back to before I got old! Go back about 5 years and there are a few of me on my Stumpjumper!

Maybe next time I am out that way!

It is a fun trail system to ride!

Enjoy the trip. Sadly they have not maintained the trails very well. A lot of the bike trails to the South are overgrown. But, should not affect hiking as much. Hope you find something!!

@gregsbikerides curious being an hour from there we are in Waynoka, you?

@@andyamysarizonaadventures5450 Down in El Reno. Used to live in Watonga, though. So am familiar with the park.

Mine as well!

Yeah, I got an eBike when I passed 60. Helps me go the distance. I am still going slower than when I was younger, but it helps me to go the distance! There will be a video of the West side stuff coming out Friday evening. Was taken during this same run.

No, thankfully those were only shoe prints. No horses on this trail.

You should come ride Palo Duro and some western trails!!!!

One, there is a serious drop on a muddy trail!! Two, I was trying to stay off the middle as much as possible so as not to leave muddy tracks in the middle! 😁

Want me to tow you along those ledges?

Am using a GoPro Hero 8 mounted on the bikes handlebars. I use the app GoPro Telemetry Extractor to pull all the telemetry off the GoPro mp4 files (since GoPro in their great wisdom do not have an app to pull their own metrics off!). Then you can use another app to pull it in. I use Virb Edit from Garmin as I used to have one. It is pretty basic, but then my videos are as well! Just want to show the trails and such a bit.

Yepper, Specialized Turbo Levo. I am from the flatlands of Oklahoma, so I run it in Eco here, and switch to Trail in Arkansas! 😉

👍

There were a couple jumps on it I chickened out on! I prefer Sparky by far. Much more fun and fast moving!

Well, when you are over 60 and come from the flatlands, they really help!

Yes, it is on private land. It is open on Tuesday, Friday and the weekend. Try this (I will take it down in a couple weeks) 35°34'03.0"N 97°45'06.6"W

Oh, and you might look at their Facebook page (don't use Facebook, so forget about it!) facebook.com/groups/293212170877823/

I am using the GoPro Hero 8. I mount it on the handlebars.

Yah, once I passed 60 I went with eBikes. Helps on the hills and in the heat!! 😋

Ah, but you notice I was flying on the curves and straightaways, I always slow significantly when I come to a jump. Not very confident at my age flying thru the air!! 😆

Yes, we did, twice. I plan on putting something together for those trails next few weeks. They were certainly a lot more work in the heat! Is pretty easy to get lost out there due to poor signage, but the place is huge! I thought it was worth the trip. I plan on going back in the winter, only this time I am taking a regular bike instead of an eBike! It was pretty heavy to put on the lift! Since you are only rolling downhill did not need it. It was very helpful riding all the rocks at Reveille Peak Ranch, though.

@@gregsbikerides I just did Angel Fire and took my emtb and it was heavy to put in the lift. But it’s the one I know how to hit jumps with, so I took it. I have been thinking about a winter trip to Spider/RPR.

@@emtbarkansas8138 You might find it pretty tame compared to Angel Fire. You notice how short the downhill runs are, they are not cut at all, it takes about 5 mins to hit the bottom, even going as slow as I am! I did like having the weight and balance of my eMTB. I am much more confident with it. Just getting too old to lift it so many times! I was with someone who did not like blacks, so was not able to video the one Black and Double Black.

@@gregsbikerides this year Angel Fire beat me up with braking bumps (massive potholes really) all over the place. I’m with you 100% on the e-bike. Like how it rides, heavy to throw up on a lift.

I am riding a Specialized Turbo Levo. I started riding an eMTB when I turned 60 a few years ago! It does keep it planted in the corners, though!

@@gregsbikerides I thought ebike as fast as you were climbing lol

@@twowheelsforlife - And climbing is where they really shine! 😁

@@gregsbikerides they are a blast for sure! Just not got one yet.

Yes, there are several now. There is the Green trail and the new and improved Yellow trail. That is what I connected to just before closing the video. Up over the hill they have a new groomed one to the right as well. They have made many new trails that can be ridden at speed and have rolls and jumps! If you look at the Oklahoma Playlist you should see several from Turkey Mountain that are new.

😁 - Glad it helped. Save one more biker! They have another one there I have yet to ride. Will post it when I get over there. Just noticed it open last time I went.

@@gregsbikerides apparently in maybe 4-6 weeks they are opening several new downhill lines at the bottom area south of the lower parking lot. If you are able to ride and post those that would be awesome. Give us something to watch when we can’t make it out!

This must be a newer trail... didn't recognize it. Generally what part of the area is this one?

@@stevespidey1953 Yep, is only a year or so old. Take the new trail entrance going North out of the upper parking lot. You will spot it on the left as soon as you roll out.

looks like west after watching more. Signage is a work in progress out there these days.

It is West out of upper parking lot. Just go to the North of parking lot and take main trail entrance to the left. Then follow it on out and stay left at the Y. You will get there eventually!

Sorry, right in the description. Got it.

Wow, just saw this! Hope you found it already! Here is the directions on MTB Project: www.mtbproject.com/directory/8016199/turkey-mountain-park

Actually, we are all on eMTBs! Unless you are young and fit, it is a pretty long ride on an unassisted bike. As you can see we are all a lot older! Technically, eBikes are not allowed on trails in Colorado, but when I asked at a local bike shop, they said currently everyone is in a sort of "don't ask, don't tell" mode. So, we figured we would risk it. What are they going to tell us, "get off the trail?" We don't go fast and we don't tear up the trail.

Yes and no. They have a fee box at the West trailhead, but while all the construction is going on they do not seem to be enforcing it right now. The parking at the dam is free. From the parking lot at the Dam you can go East, to where these trails are. If you go West, there is another whole section.

@@gregsbikerides Thank you

I record with a GoPro Hero8. However, since their software is useless, I use my old Virb Edit software (since I used to have a Garmin Virb camera). To get the telemetry off the Hero8 video I use an app called Telemetry Extractor Premium for GoPro. Be nice if GoPro ever made software as good as their hardware!!!

Actually, the whole trail system is a little confusing! The ride I put up can be reached at the upper parking lot. It starts at the SE corner of lot. The have added some new stuff I only got to ride a little bit on the West side as well. It is still under construction. But, the best bet is park at the upper lot and ask a local! 😁

@@gregsbikerides awesome, thanks!

It is on private property, but open to the public. I believe they are open on Tuesdays and all weekend. I usually just show up!

Yep, I ride a Specialized Turbo Levo. Had it since I turned 60. A real help when you are older and don't get out that often!

@@gregsbikerides awesome, please get a video of you doing the gold at clearbay sometime.

@@Tommy-bl2vm Hah! Will do! I don't do the teeter totter though!

Turkey is great I really recommend it

search ahmed deedat

This was taken when we first arrived. Every day after that one of the deer was waiting for us at the end of the picnic table in the morning. Wondering when we were going to get up and give them something to eat!

I am using a Specialized Turbo Levo Comp. Went eBike when I turned 60!
