I plan to go as a "volunteer". Not a working volunteer, but one that will drive Veterans around on the trails, or on the Poker Run. Let them have all the fun for once.

I'd love to ride with a group of hummers starting out on the easier trails first to get my of road legs back, probably won't do Daniel this time and not sure about rocky mount or dutch john. I need to get used to wheeling again. Who is up to guide me thru?

Mike, I didn't want to do Daniel trail either my first time there... but I'm wicked glad I did. It was a blast.

Anyway, Perk and I will be there around 10ish.

I'll be getting there around 08:30. I'm there to let the veterans have fun by driving them around on the poker run. That means that I probably won't be available to run around. My priority is the vets.

So, maybe the Hummers can roll out on the trails around 10:30? I need to figure out what time to show up if we can all agree on a time to hook up and ride out.

I will pass on Daniel this time around. I still think back to a time 12 years ago when Daniel scared the crap out of me and some other guys on a night run. I need to do the easier trails this weekend to learn how the H3 does and get my confidence back.

Love to do the easy trails first, then figure out from there.

Sorry I did not get to spend a lot of time with you guys. My H3 really impressed me except for hitting my belly on rocks and 3 wheeling tipsys. Traction with rear locker and traction control really work good.
