I know whenever I tell people from the Facebook page about the rides you put on I try making it known there will be rock crawling and fast pace, after the first one last year with 30+ and quads stopping all the time, I now make it known what it’s going to be like.

I don't think we go at a real fast pace , just steady and don't worry about dust or mud !!

I don’t believe we go at a fast pace either but to some 20 is to fast it seems

The pace was fine , the second loop everybody helped get everybody through all the mishaps, just the way we always do. [emoji1417]

My General hits the rev limiter at 62, and I have been on lots of rides that had sections where I couldn't keep up.

1 more thing that help out especially if in the back of the group.

Know the name of the person infront of you and behind you.. call them by name..
George left turn at the Y, George right turn at the downed tree.. that way if the front ones are so far out making another turn at a Y you may have the wrong Y and off the trail you go to unwanted territory and end up in PICKLE.

Also we have done this with another group, especially if it happens to be a fire road (faster speeds for awhile) the leader calls out I'm going to be doing 45mph or what ever number.. this let's everyone know how to adjust their speed to keep everything flowing smoothly.

And the last one is for anyone leading a ride.. especially on dusty rides..
Don't think everyone can do the same speed as you and maybe the 1st 5 in the line. With each car the dust gets thicker, so the cars towards the back get more dust and not able to see as well... Sometimes since I bring the back up on the rides we participate in we may never get over 10 mph..

Given all of the mishaps, I think it was fun helping each other get through it
