    Default Hello, new member here looking forward to doing some off road




    Yep maybe a little green, but my f150 and I are hoping to find someone to wheel during week day hours. I am early retired and have a mostly open schedule for trail play Monday through Friday. I will also be interested in going on weekends but I enjoy it when there isn't very many other off roaders this is the reason I want to go more during the week. I would rather be on intermediate trails as I don't have the right get up (equipped) truck to do extreme trails.
    I do enjoy good people, awesome scenery and fun times.

    Hi Phillip - I am one of the weekday wheelers, at least during the summer (school teacher). A few of us get out quite a bit, and I am happy to run easier trails in my old CJ. Although I have been out for 5 runs already this season, I am heading overseas and on a couple other trips in July so we'll see. Just got back from AK as well as today's clean-up run. Need to look forward on the calendar a bit and see what weekdays are open - you are absolutely correct that wheeling on weekdays is incredibly nice compared to the typical weekend crowds.

    Numbers aren't needed (but are sometimes passed around). The forum setup works well in itself. Here's a decent explanation of the process:

    Looks to be a weekday run developing for this Tues on Barbour Fork near Idaho Springs...not sure how your F150 is set-up and it takes a bit for language such as intermediate to be commonly understood. I'd use the description that is on the harder end of intermediate for sure. I've seen stock Jeep Wranglers run this trail - and the hardest spot has a bypass - but given the extra size, length and overhang of an F150, a stock set-up might be pushed to its limit? If its got a small lift and something like 33 inch tires, and depending on your experience and comfort it could be a fun trail. Or maybe more than you want to try and tackle. Maybe others that are accustomed to full size vehicles could give you a better assessment - its certainly not an easy trail and it seems to be getting more challenging over the last couple years.

    Here is the thread...
