Title: November 12th Run @ MacLean
Post by: WK2008 on November 09, 2011, 07:02:08 PM: Anyone up for a little shakedown this weekend. We were out last weekend and had a great time.

Minimums will be the usual 31" MTs or winters with proper front and rear tow points. You will need your own recovery gear and a winch is always a good idea. I haven't decided which trail to run yet but that will depend on the crowd and the experience levels.

I am going to shoot for a 9am start with a return to store of 3 or 4.

Cheers,

John

Post by: RUBICON13 on November 10, 2011, 08:33:42 AM: Does a 9am start mean we will meet on the gravel road down by the pond at 9am or are we to be ready to roll at that time?

Please verify time and location to meet. Thanks!

You bet. You will be just fine with the Islander Edition. I think that came with factory trac loc limited slip in the rear too. Either way, you should be fine as long as you wont cry over a few scratches. See you on Saturday

We will decide which trail to run tomorrow based on the conditions at the time. I am thinking Sylvester and maybe top of the world. We will see tomorrow morning if things are still frozen

Post by: WK2008 on November 11, 2011, 08:28:55 PM: We are going to have to cancel tomorrow as we have no rigs with winches coming tomorrow. With the heavy snow coming tonight and the inherent risk on the trails, I am not willing to lead us into too much of a risky situation. Sorry if you were ready to go but I really dont want to have a mishap on the trail without the experience and equipment needed. Enjoy the first major snowfall of the year!
