February Trail ride
« on: February 14, 2009, 11:52:35 PM »
ATTENTION PROBIES!!!
This months trail ride is February 21st.  We will be headed about two hours from Groton, just across the Mass border.  The trail is either a steep ascent or descent depending on which way we go.  The current plan is to do the ascent.  That will be determined by rig/driver capability, and weather/ground conditions as we get there.  We will be meeting at the Groton Town House at 0800.

Min. Req's.

31's w/ locker and/or winch
33's w/o either (at least one of those is recommended)
Cb or FRS radio
Tow strap
Tow points f/r
Battery tie down

This a new trail for JT4X4 that none of us have ever been on, so it's hard to know exactly what to expect.  You know your rig and your abilities, so plan ahead as best as you can.  We will have a trail guide from Eastern 4 Wheelers with us.  I will be the Trail Boss, so if you would like to go, sign up here and shoot me a pm.  There is a 15 rig limit.  The minimum is the club standard of 2.

4-5, but if there is snow/ice then that obviously adds to it.  Yes, this is a probie friendly run.  Member only runs are not posted here.

I already pm'd you, zjorvis97, but this is for everyone else in case they have the same question.  Probies get the name and location of the run on the day of the run.  Otherwise we would put the name up on this side of the forum.  This is to prevent those "I'm too cool to be in a club" guys from finding our locations and thrashing them.  Don't take it personal.  When you become a member, you get all that info.
