Let's throw some organization at this run. Meet at the store parking lot for 9 am, decide who wants to go where and how many are in the group. Someone bring a chainsaw please...:) first run always seems to have things in the way.
Tow points and good tires would be really nice. I'm seeing a few stockers wanting to join so we can choose trails accordingly.
See you all in the morning. I'll be in a dark red xj on 31's.

If we stop in a suitable spot for a fire then I don't see why not. Let's hope it's not a constant rain.

For anyone at Maclean today. When you LEFT how much snow was accumulated NEXT to the trails? i want to ride tommorrow and where we ride is little used so whatever snow you saw beside the trails you were on will equal the amount of snow on bike trails.

Probably 4 inches of wet,  all trails snow covered higher up though,  Road up to Barwell Ridge snow covered from halfway up,  snowing West fischer area at 10 pm.

first time on the trails with my jeep. had a blast and met some great people. cant wait to do it again !!!!

aftermath:

my first jeep ding... probably not the last  :-\


i think tie rod may have bent a slight bit. hit a good size rut or rock that was covered in snow that i didn't see which cause the alignment off and the steering off center. fixed it later that evening with a few adjustments ;D

Becareful where you go if your worried about snow, We ran the 101 last night and there was already 4-5" on it and it turned into a blizzard/almost rolling in washouts/winchfest.
