September Trail Ride
« on: September 04, 2009, 11:26:43 AM »
The trail ride is on for Saturday, the 12th. It is about 2 hours to the trailhead from the Groton area. We are working on a place to meet. Please post if you plan on going so we can get a head count

Let us know if you have any questions

I'm in and I'll be bringing my daughter June.  I'll be meeting the Groton group at Smith's 4x4 on 32 in North Franklin.  If any newbies have any questions about the trail feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll try to answer it.  At a minimum, 31's but 33's are recommended.  Be prepared for up to 2.5 foot water crossings. This is a great ride for guys with out a ton of experience, but does have one moderately challenging obstacle and one difficult obstacle that may need a winch or a tug.  Be prepared to spend 2-2.5 hours on the trail and possibly longer if we have some breakage.  For those that like to have an end time, plan of being back in the Groton area around 1600 (4 P.M.) but that can be earlier or later depending on how the ride goes. 

If you are going make sure to pack a lunch and some drinks.  There is a nice lunch spot about half way through. 

Let's plan on the Groton group (location TBD) leaving at 0830 and arriving at Smith's at about 0900.  Which means the Groton Group should meet about 0815 and the Smith's group should meet about 0845.

Read Kirk's post about 3 lines above this one. He gives some general requirements. You should be fine on your 31s, but there are a couple obstacles that will give you some trouble.
