Franklin Off-road
Murat Kaynar

Hello Everyone, I have F850 GSA and I am quite new rider. So far I started to build some confidence with my bike on the road but I also want to try few easy off-road. Can anyone suggest me few alternatives close to Franklin? I am also open to gpx files if you have any. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there,

Good looking bike. I had the F800GSA and really enjoyed it.

I know we are having a club dual sport ride coming up but I'm not sure when. In the meantime the Dirt Devil has served many of us as a place to ride trails that is not too far away. It starts near Liepers Fork. Previously we had just used maps from riding it before and there was a fellow that you could buy a hand sketched version from for $20. In looking it up to give you info I found that someone has created a sight for the Gaia App. The route is at https://dirtdeviltn.com/

I would strongly suggest not to go alone. The trails are not super tough but there is always an opportunity to take a dirt nap and it is so much better and safer with help. 

Happy Trails,

John (Skip) Neuhoff

Hi, I live in Franklin as well. I have a new R1250GSA that I’ve been riding for few months now. I am looking to get on some easy dirt roads myself. Give me a call, I’ll be happy to ride with you.
