Nope, anyone can join up and see what a club run is like......check out the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/nanaimosidewinders?ref=hl
If you want to join club you have to go out on a couple runs and go to a few meetings and the club takes a vote.....
We will post up on the page when and where to meet up and an idea of where we are going.
The runs usually require at least one locker and a winch (it is not an offence to pull line), or some driving skill and a pedal......and the willingness to possibly rub a tree, not always but might get into a spot where it will happen. Sometimes it is exploratory runs where who knows what it will turn into.
Sometimes the runs will be into some more extreme stuff but we would not lure someone not willing or capable into a situation like that.....the club is a really good bunch of guys who wont leave anyone hanging.
Thanks for the info... I think im going to have to do a little work on my Jeep before i come along! Lockers and rock sliders are in the works....got a 8500 lb winch and full skid plates already, so im way ahead of the Grande Cherokee!
Well join up on a club run whenever you are comfortable.
I got my driveshaft and parts into the driveline shop this morning so hoping to get it back by end of day Friday....if no club run then I am into exploring on Sunday.
No it shouldnt.....some ideas of areas to explore, see what we can find....... or maybe open an old road if you guys want (this would depend on snow level).
Meet up just off pavement at turnoff to Barsby Lake at 9am ??
It's too bad I work weekends, if you guys are ever still out there come 3:30 though next time, I might be down to meet up and break a few parts trying to follow you :P
I would love to, but it's still a little early for me to be out wheeln. Hopefully next time.
Possibility of Sunday...
If I can get my driveshaft repaired in time and there isnt a Nanaimo Sidewinders club run on Sunday then I would like to head out.
Do you have to be a sidewinders member to join sundays run??

No club run so now I am hoping the DS is ready on Friday....will let you know then
Driveshaft is done.....Sunday is open......I got some ideas
Do your ideas require lockers to entertain your idea?

Awesome.... Im in for sure... What road is the turnoff to barsby on?
Haha... Ok just saw the name on the map! Thanks Fatty!
They just logged the corner.....it is the only road to the right that isnt gated
Cool... I know where that is... Been up that way a couple of times- but only on my own so never gone too far!
