Re: Date Change--Offroad now Sept.27,2008 Weir St. Sauveur Quebec
Kev, do I need to put my new MT's (all 4) for this or are my daily driving tire ok??!!
I take it all is good for this trip. Many confirmed , except for the basic "4" <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... #>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='???' /> (T.K.R.D.)
May be we can use our winches this time, do not want mine to get rusty from lack of use!!
Chat later, time for an oil change.

Hey Roy, you should definitely have 4 MTs. The mud is like quicksand and is just as bottomless in places. Also your winch should get a good workout this round since we can opt for the tangents that require alot more work and they are unlikely to be passable without winching. One tangent just at the edge of the forest when we come into a clearing takes a sharp right and immediately climbs 5ft. While you and Tony in your H1s may be able to climb this with no problem Derek and I stand a real good chance of highcentering and needing to winch up...then again we may all be surpirsed! BTW, bring your scuba gear, the last lake has a line that enters on the north side and exits straight on the south side, thru the middle of the lake. Never taken that route since I am only confident up to 4ft for short distances not several hundred feet at 4 to 6ft. So I normally ride the edge around! BTW, there are many many places where 2 wheeling is the only way thru, so balance and finesse are key. One section will require the winch just to keep tension just to hold us away from a possible side rollover into a deep ditch. I will also bring my chainsaw since this trail has tons of deadfall that frequently makes the trail tight for an H2 nevermind an H1. Tony can you bring your chainsaw as well?? Also guys, what do you think about meeting at the Timmy's for 8am instead of 8:30am that way we get an earlier start on the trail and have more time to play before the sun goes down?? Afterall this is a 22km long trail that on a good day(read no hangups/serious stucks) this trail needs a minimum 6hrs to run, after this summers rain we are probably looking at closer to 8 to 10hrs. So what do you guys think???
BTW, Roy did you check out my post about the Auburn ECTED lockers??? They are AWESOME!!! I should hopefully have Tonys in before the ride, frt and rr! Hopefully they get here in time!!!

All booked for Weir. Even got the wife to come along. Better bring my ear plugs for the water ride. She may be screaming
BAD works if I try the deep water crossing. Got to go for it, if it seems do able.
