Oct. 29th
« on: October 22, 2011, 06:53:06 PM »
Going to be running the exact same trail we trail that was done for the Chanda Kingone run a couple weeks ago. This means down "double up" (so I've been told is the name) and through fish east or possibly run some other trails that I have been eyeing out at Mclean. This of course requires fairly capable rigs, so wheelin experience is necessary as well as a minimum of 33" MT tires.

Double up is a  very tight overgrown trail so pin stripping is likely and body damage risk is a bit higher than normal. This is weather depending if there is  snow I'll be much less inclined to have people try it.

Meet: 8am

Requirements:

33" MT tires Good Tread
Spare
Vehicle in Good Mechanical Condition
Tow Points both front and rear
Food, Clothes

Looking forward to seeing some old and new folks

One small contingency I have to sort out, but should be there. Will let you know by Wednesday if I can't.

At the moment my jeep won't run out of my garage... Won't be making it.  :(

We had a few drop outs, so unless anyone is willing to step up with the minimum requirements I am just going to make this a simpler trail run so more rigs will be able to run,

FYI.... "Double up" is NOT a novice trail and  NOT short wheelbase friendly if you go up the cutline... it's a short steep trail that's alot of fun but not for beginners.

If you do it from the main road ...it's not bad.



I'm sure Jarma will make the right decision with the people that shows up.

Going down double up from the main road is the path I was going to take, it is however pretty tight ...I needed a new soft top anyway

We will see who all shows up, I'd love to run with some more club members. Right now I want to keep things on the more interesting side, But I'll gauge interest.

 ;D


Going the other way is quite the challenge some days.

I was not planning of doing any wheeling this weekend but I might rethink my decision...

I will let you know by Thursday

Cheers!

I've got the new tires to test out but don't want to go crazy as I dont have a winch yet. I am in for Saturday for sure as long as you don't decide to go crazy Jamal lol
