2014 Jeep 101
« on: April 03, 2014, 11:05:15 AM »
The Calgary Jeep Association is pleased to announce the 7th 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 off-roading 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 registrants will be limited to 30

Date: Saturday, June 14, 2014

Registration is on a first come, first serve basis.  Please send a PM to:  specialk

**edit** <- i asked the date maybe i should read better LOL. My heep has no rear tow points but it does have an axle lol  :P otherwise i meet everything. Although i have done the 101 before I think it will be a good way to introduce the wife to off roading and try to get her out with me more often and well its still wheeling no matter what run it is lol.  :)

All day thing. Dink around in the gravel pit til noon, then head out on a trail ride. Usually get back to the store around 4ish. That is depending on how many times you get stuck, or stop..... Or take a wrong turn.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.
Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!

Can I assume the McLean Creek Store is the same as the McLean Creek Campers Centre on Google Maps?  Someone correct me if I'm wrong as I've never been.

That's close enough.  The store has a large paved area 1 km off the highway
