Title: Jeep 101 - June 23 - Registration Thread
Post by: BlackYJ on June 03, 2012, 08:42:24 PM: This is the official registration thread for the Jeep 101 this year. If you have not already please see the details below. If you wish to register for the 101 please send me a PM with the following details:

-Name
-Make and model of Jeep
-Experience Level

The first 20 people are in for this year

The Calgary Jeep Association is pleased to announce the 5th annual Off-Road 101 Course

This is a one day family friendly course that is open to anyone that will introduce participants to the basic skills that are necessary during an Off-Road adventure, as well as safe and environmentally friendly practices while on the trail.

Rough outline of the day:
The course will take place at the Mclean Creek off highway land use area. We will be meeting at the Mclean Creek store from 7:30 am to 8:30 am. At 9am we'll start with introduction to off roading instruction, along with various beginner obstacles to get you acquainted with your jeeps capabilities. Around noon we'll have a short lunch break (you’re responsible to bring your own lunch as well as addition food and drinks the rest of the day). Then we'll head out for a trail ride with CJA members providing instruction and support throughout the way. Please note that this is an offroading activity and there is always the possibility that damage and scratches can occur to any vehicle. The trail guides will do their best to prevent / minimize any potential damage to the vehicles, but the potential is always there.

The number of participants will be limited to 20

Date: June 23, 2012

Post by: NUXJR on June 25, 2012, 09:24:55 AM: Thanks Scott and 'the crew' for hosting another '101'. Eventhough the weather was not ideal, I think it was still a good idea to put this on. The gravel pit there is a great spot for newcomers to get introduced to basic principals and techniques for safe adventures on the trails.

Big thanks to Scott and Dave for leading an expedition up Top of the World for all the new folks, was a GREAT way to get them hooked 8).
