Come join us at the Ocmulgee Bluffs for a much-needed ride on Saturday, Feb 3rd at 11:00.  We’ve had so many cancellations and rescheduled rides – that it’s going to be good to get back out on the trails again!

This area is a beautiful place to ride.  Directions are as follows:

From Forsyth take Highway 83 north east towards Monticello.  Will cross the Ocmulgee River, and a few miles down, will go past the Enon Baptist Church on your left.  Will see a big Ocmulgee Bluffs sign on your right where you turn left onto Smith Mill Rd after seeing the sign.  There is a black horse sign with the words Saddle Horse Club written on it on your left as you turn in.  Road is not in the best of shape and narrow, so take it nice and slow.  After 2-3 ? miles, you’ll see the Saddle Horse Campground on your right and on your left, will be the entrance to the Bluffs where you pay and can park.

If you haven’t joined us in a while, please come on out for a good day to ride with some wonderful cowgirls!
