Lets go wheel. Sunday October 21st in West barnch. My plan is to take off from the wal mart parking lot at 12 (noon) Wheel till about 5 or 6 then catch dinner in town then head for home.

So bring some snacks and drinks for the trail and maybe even a camera. Should be a good time for the whole family.we are going to GPS some of the trails while we are there also to give to GLFWDA to help aid in getting more ORV route miles in Michigan.

See you guys and gals up there then.

We might be able to make this one.  I'll check with the War Counsil.  Hey Neil, you don't plan on wheeling for very long do ya?  That is unless your talking about the Yall-mart in Westbranch.

I should be there. My Jeep *should* be back up and running by then! Yay!

And, like Neil said, this counts as an Event (as voted by the members who were at the meeting yesterday), which will allow several people to be voted on at the next meeting to join our club.

I think we are planning to do this one as well.  We'll see how the kids do as that may be a long day for them.

Have a couple questions about this trail ride. Not sure if you mapped out our route yet, but will there be any traveling for a long distance on pavement? Will there be anyone going up towing there vehicle?

The reason I ask these two questions is that I have a delema with the type of trail tires I own, which really sucks for me in a way. I don't own a set of tires yet that I can travel both on the highway and go trail riding with, so I will have to bring a second set of tires and change them out when I get to West Branch. I can drive around town fine with them, but my set of 31" Mickey Thompsons are bias-ply tires and I have real trouble driving with these on the pavement for a extended distance if I have to drive over 40 mph do to the fact that I get death wobble effects. I can run my 33" Yokohama's on the highway, but the tread on these wears really fast and I would like to keep these tires around for as long as I could since they don't make these tires anymore and I don't have $500 to go out and buy a new set of tires.

Hate to sound like a pain in the ass, but this is what I have to I am stuck with at the moment. I hate having to trailer my tires every time I want to go out wheeling outside of Genesse.

Mudviper, This run will be mainly on 2 tracks. We might hit a total of 15 miles of pavement all day. Mainly to jump between trails. There will be no reason to go above 40 at all.

I plan to trailer my jeep up if i have it done in time. If not i will be driving the jeep up.
