How often do you go on trips because the website doesn't seem to be updated that frequently but I definitely like the looks of your club. I'm want to join a club and pretty much have it narrowed down to Ronin and you guys.

I've wheeled with guys from Ronin before at some NEA events. They seem to be great guys there. Less BS in their club compared to others from what I hear.

Whatever you do, don't join a club till you see how they wheel. Some people's idea of "a day on the trails" differs from others.

New England, especially Mass, has very little legal trails. Find people who know the trails and join up on runs. There is a group of us that goes every so often. You're more than welcome to join.

Great point Mike. Some clubs see an obstruction along a trail and turn around. Others see opportunity

Yup, nailed it.

Some people just wheel different, too. Personally myself and the group I wheel with goes out and drives. We stick together, help when needed, but we're looking to hit one challenge after the other and keep going. Some like to hit a line as a group, them get out and discuss the line, then repeat.

Your wheeling experience is about the pace you enjoy.

To assist BDAN1020, Mike is referring to a new england crew that gets out on a couple of the legal trails in MA every couple of months or so (maybe more in the summer). Most of them organize the trail runs on another forum (JK Freaks) in the northeast sub-foum. They are not an official club and have no connection to the NEA (where organized clubs get land access) but they wheel legally and are good people.

I know they have a run coming up at OFR this weekend but they might be at their max for allowed rigs. But worth checking out that forum. Plus, most of them are in various clubs so you can see how your wheeling style and persoanlity mixes with everyone.

From April to October it's usually every month. You probably didnt see it because the runs arent advertised to non-members. Basically you start lurking around the site, introducing yourself and plan to attend a Meet & Greet. Apply for membership and then you can wheel.
