Dang.How long did it take to lay out and cut this trail in.Lotta brush and small trees to clear.Worth the time obviously.I live in Colorado but if i was closer i would join up.I will just to have to enjoy your trails on video. Thanks.
thanks Bruce, it sure takes some work to cut trails on that land here. This particular one took about 2 month for the first 3 miles, the last 1.5 miles was existing trail that we cut some years before. We have some small corners with more open tall woods, but the majority of our land looks like this trail. Thick bushes and plenty briar stuff. I usually look like I have the chicken pocks on my arms after a cutting session. We use a powered walk behind brush cutter, while I pick the way and open it up with a machete ahead, so the guy with the brush cutter can walk through without getting ripped by the briars. It's fun hahaha
Yes, south eastern. You have to become a club member in order to get access. We have monthly meetings, just search on Facebook or Google „Tidewater Dirt Riders“.
@@joshbridges9234 theoretical yes but we do not ride our properties when it’s wet in order to not turn it into another Slades. During hunting season we are limited to Sunday only riding. Otherwise you have access to it all week. Currently there is no guest option available to test it. I was told they are working on it but it might not happen due to insurance restrictions. If you look through my videos there are a few from TDR. It’s aprx 18 miles at this land and 3 miles at a smaller property. All tight harescramble type trails with lots of turns.

Is this in South Eastern VA? Looking for places to ride down here. Any more info on where TDR is or how to get access? Thanks!

@@detwho7481 if the fee is paid does that grant access to the trails at any point? And is there a way to see the trail prior to paying?
