Some thoughts from the 4/1/06 FCT ride

[akdsmer]

That trail has never, that I have seen been passable before Mothers Day. I have been running that trail for 7 years now.

You need to buy a zuki This was the third time I've driven it during the winter, twice with my last zuki. But I also knew from past experience that this was going to be a stuckfest. As I mentioned it would have been the very best opprotunity to teach winching and recovery techniques. As for a big rig to break the trail, my zuki did a great job of "not" breaking the trail! lol


I don't fault most of the members for showing up since the requirements were listed as "to avoid confusion on requirements, if you are interested post up on what you are planning on running and we can decide if its worthy to run". This was mostly a planning and execution problem, a problem that has been exposed and will surely be corrected in the future. AK20 posted up his 55 mile requirements and was strong enough to keep the less hardy vehicles excluded. Later when dry, that run could then easily be opened up for less equipped vehicles, with a couple of winches to get them over the rougher parts!
