looks like we might have a group doing greens and low blues and a higher blue/low black group. there are also some multi-level trails which are fun for any rig

I'm not saying "I think it can be done". I'm not gonna get into a pi$$ing contest, but I repeat: I have seen black trails done open/open with bigger tires than 31. Guy who leaves his ego at home, accepts the limitations of his Jeep and use common sense picking lines can get thru a lot more than you would believe. Lockers are not the holy grail.
the guy on the 35's just gets more attention at the mall.
im going to have some loose guidelines on what rigs can run what level trails on this run. i'm not going to force anyone to do something they don't wan't to do, but if everyone cooperates it will be a better time out on the trails for the rest of us.

generally locked rigs on 31's make open rigs on 35's look silly

and yea, no one who is at RC for the first time, or hasnt had a lot of seat time on legitimate trails will be keen to running blacks. my first time at RC was open/locked on 31s and i was nervous on blues. when i went for the second and third time (as well as wheeling and more trails inbetween) on the same setup i was comfortable on blacks.

BTW i recommend everyone pick up a CB radio if you dont have one. every RC trip i've done the group hasnt had one and the lack of comms can suck sometimes.
hell, even if you throw it on right before the trip and need a tune i'll bring my tuner and we can do that at the park.
