id love to go if theres enough people to form an easier (but not too easy) group. ill try whatever trails im asked to but im still stock height/tires and dont want to be the one to hold back anyone from hitting the hard trails.

I learned faith in my rig at the new years run. h1ker and big john showed us some fun spots for sure. i know i saw some but is there usually a bypass option on the harder spots? if so, ill be more inclined to tag along.

For the most part, yes. I haven't found many areas that I can't tag along, and can avoid the bad spots. And I chill and watch as Cody and some others do the more challenging spots. It's not bad.

Sloppy sounds fun, after all I never got stuck or had any traction problems on the new years run, so sunday should be another good learning experience.
