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.

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.

They do some pretty hairy shit...way out of my league I'm thinkin.

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.

Well join up on a club run whenever you are comfortable.

Do your ideas require lockers to entertain your idea?

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 ??
