A couple of things to throw out there;
1. Keep watching this thread for announcements if you are on the list. Subscribe to the thread, it's easy.
2. Please let me know if you can't make it! Things change and that's expected and okay. What isn't okay is to have everyone expecting you, and not show.
When
Friday -Saturday
August 11-12, 2017
Be there Friday at 8:30 AM SHARP! (earlier is fine)
Where
We will be wheeling Colorado Springs trails on Friday (full day). Then Saturday morning we will caravan to Ouray. Friday's Colorado Springs trail ride meeting spot with be sent by PM to those who sign up.
The Scoop
There will be a mix of paved roads, dirt roads and trails. We will have a driver's meeting first thing and answer any questions. I expect to be off at 8:45 am. On paved roads we will keep our speed to 55 mph or less.
What to Bring
-Your street-legal 4x4 vehicle (low range required), in good working order, with no major leaks or mechanical problems, and tires with respectable tread life remaining. We will be running on paved roads and as such every vehicle must be registered, inspected, and insured per your state's requirements.
-Lunch - We'll be eating on the trail as we go - not a specific lunch stop location
-Good attitude! We're here to enjoy our hobby.
Other Important Info
We observe Tread Lightly! guidelines, no exceptions. This means; respect for the environment and setting an example of responsible enjoyment of the outdoors. Pack out all trash you bring in. Tires WILL be aired down to limit wheel spin. Mud & water will be navigated no faster than needed. Our group will travel in a way that will minimize damage to the road and erosion. If you're not sure what is appropriate, just ask a leader or gunner for advice on airing down and Tread Lightly in general.
Radios:
The primary communication for this run is CB - cheap handheld unit work fine. Leader and gunner will also be on CB during the run. Channels will be announced at the driver meeting.
