First things first, as KnoxRents pointed out in another thread, DEJA won the club comp on Saturday! Sweet!
Need to make the trail report a little thin due to time crunch on my part, hopefully the other trail bosses can fill in a little of the color. The 101 group started out by the comp course and we spent about 45 minutes covering an agenda written by all of the trail bosses (thanks for your help guys! We'll def continue to use it). We had 15 Jeeps in the group (24 in total including the other groups) which is a little big but we managed. Most of the morning was spent on green trails and taking it slow with spotting through anything remotely tricky. We were on the hills by the pole line where Shorebird was attempting to demonstrate what happens when you take the wrong line and get your tires up high on the side of a hill during a decent. Let's just say that he effectively demonstrated what not to do, no one was killed, he didn't roll and I don't think anyone will need counseling for PTSD but it was close. Did 14 (green) from there and spent the rest of the day on blue trails. Other than a few reverses and getting back on the right line all of the newcomers did very, very well so my hat is off to you. Need to make sure everyone is keeping an eye on the Jeep behind you. Had a couple incidents where the group got momentarily separated.
Many thanks to all of the first time trailriders! I hope you had a good time and you'll come out again. The member appreciation ride May 16th is free to all paid members (we cover your RC fees!) and usually there's some good campfires and libations going on that weekend.

I didn't run the Gopro on the hood very long but I do have some video following Jerry and Andy.
