Hi Mike...
My name is John and I'm the Trail boss for the club. I'm also the chief cook & bottle washer, complaint department, etc. and I'm looking forward to meeting you Saturday. Steve was right, come on out and run what you have. A CB radio is a good idea, so you can keep up on what's going on. If you don't have one, the club has a loaner you can borrow for the run.
You should be self sufficient with your own tools, etc., but if you should have any problems, most of us will trip over each other to help and get you running again. Also we NEVER leave anyone on the trail. I believe you talked about bringing a cooler... and that's fine, just as long as you bring enough for everyone.
I will have a waiver for you to sign and a $5.00 donation fee prior to the run. You will also have the opportunity to join the club if you like. See you Saturday.
John
