I would like to first thank everyone of you and your guests that are participating in the first CJA Off-Road 101 Course.  We are hoping to have a fun and educational day for all.
 
The Course will be held within the McLean Creek Off Road Recreation Area on Saturday June 12th and Sunday June 13th 2010.  We will be meeting at 8:30am at the McLean Creek store for check in.  At 9am we will travel to the gravel pit as a group where we will hold the learning sessions.  A Map to the Mclean Creek store is found on the CJA web site here.

We will break for lunch at approx 11:30am. Please bring yourself and guests a picnic lunch and lots of water.  There will be no time or facilities for cooking.

At approximately 12:30 we will embark on a trail run on a pre-selected trail. You will have to use your newly learned skills over the course of the run and may possibly push your comfort levels a bit.  We do however guarantee that all the obstacles are passable and should you feel really uncomfortable there is a bypass around most of them.

The 101 course will end with the completion of the selected trail. At this point you will have the opportunity to head home or if time permits there may be another run on a more challenging trail. If such run does occur, the trail leader will determine what the requirements are for the run at that point.

I am at this time going to warn you that there are serious risks that are taken when off-roading, we are going to try to teach you the safest procedures to ensure that every one is as safe as possible. Damage to your vehicle is also a strong possibility “trail rash” is a very likely to occur.

All non member participants will have to read and sing the CJA liability waiver. All participants under the age of 18 will have to have a legal guardian sign for them.  For participants that have children under the age of 5 we strongly suggest that they are not brought to this event.   Also we'd like to request that pets are left at home for this day too.  

For more info on this subject please do not hesitate to PM me and I will answer or have an individual contact you to answer your questions.

In conclusion I have a few reminders:
- a donation to the CJA Trail fund will be asked as an entry fee.
- Drugs and alcohol is strictly prohibited. You will be asked to leave and possibly the police will be contacted.
- The owner of the vehicle must be present, either as a driver or rider.
- Proof of ownership, insurance and a valid driver's license for the driver is required and will be asked for.
- Please notify someone that you are attending the event, and bring the info for an emergency contact.  It will be required and asked for.
- Extra clothing is strongly suggested. One full change is a good idea; you could get very wet during the day.
- The Course will be a go rain or shine.  

Thank you for participating

tow points are mandatory for this event.  vehicles without proper towhooks will not be allowed to participate.  there will be no exceptions;  if you sign up, please put proper towpoints on the front of the jeep so we can all have fun, and avoid turning anyone away.   

without proper tow points, an easy, fun trail ride can turn into a pain-in-the-butt situation really quick. 
if you have a wrangler this is the easiest modification to make.  unibody cherokees will require the proper factory, or aftermarket bracket kits.

good luck and hope to see your jeep properly equipped at the 101!

Usually these are cheap and would be the proper way to pull you out of a sticky situation....


Usually we require front and rear tow points but we are a bit lax on that week-end...front is a must though.

see you there

For those that are coming if you could please bring a pen with you, it would make life easy. As with everything in life there is paper work to be filled out.
