Title: Any open runs on the 25th or 26th?
Post by: Stainless on July 24, 2009, 08:12:16 AM

I'm up for something not too long, preferably Sunday, in either McLean or Waiparous. I'm on 33s, but stocker friendly is fine... just looking to have some fun. I don't know the trails too well, though.

Anybody?

I think I may be able to spring free on the Sunday. Depends on work but I sure would like to go. I don't know the trails either though, but the only way to get to know them is to get lost in them!!

I am in. I have been out twice last year and am intent on joining CJA. Lets get out on Sunday. Please post the time and meeting place and I will see you there. Either M or W will do.

Aspirated, do you know the McLean or Waiparous trails pretty well?

Rich99, this isn't a CJA "sanctioned" run, if you're trying to get into the club (I think you guys need a certain number of CJA-sponsored runs before you can join, don't you?). I don't even have a Jeep (Nissan Pathfinder), I'm just looking to have some fun out there. So, it's not as though you shouldn't come, but I don't know if an open run counts toward your total. Anyway, just sayin'.

Hopefully we can find someone who's got some trail knowledge. Let's shoot for Sunday, and we'll see who else is up for it before we set a meeting place and time.

Me and a buddy of mine... also has a Jeep... may be in for tomorrow (Sunday). Have a BBQ to attend this evening that may get messy so cant commit 100% at this point. Both Jeeps have winches and responsible humans behind the wheel (despite previous comment about messy BBQ's) :D

As far as trails... I'm kinda new to this area so I don't know alot of trails... but I am looking for mud and technical stuff... would like to stay away from 6 hours of flat rocky trails (i.e. North Ghost)... the wife gets car sick and grouchy :o

Thanx!!!

Im out, i have to replace my clutch, i felt it slipping a bit today. Damn It! Better now though then later - never know what you get when you buy a used Jeep. Ah well.

I could possibly be in, if I knew where and what time... I have all the trails in the Waiparious and Mclean area on my GPS so no worries there..

It's supposed to be shitty day tomorrow and I've got errands, so I'm going to bail. If anyone else wants to pick it up, have a blast out there.

If I wake up and it's really crappy out I'll probaly stay home, otherwise I think I'll head out to McLean store about 9:00 to be home at a decent time.

We need a time and place if tomorrow is on? Wiaprous? Mclean Creek? Anyone?

Guess the dark skies made almost everyone stay in bed till a decent hour. Made it out for a fun run with weather threatening the whole time but it held off till we were back to the store. The trails were pretty quiet and the trails were a blast. Hope you all will join next time. Think I have loaded trails into gps okay but might have to test it...
