FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Rubithon 2011

Hi all

As some of you know, I'm on the Rubithon committee for TLCA, and have been involved with it for a farily long time.

I was talking to Tony Twiddy (chairman) and we are trying to figure out if there is interest in a FJ Cruiser run this year.

As some may remember there was one in 2007 when the Trail Teams were around, and that was a great run. We don't have the Trail Teams, but we do have some of you who have done Rubithon before.

Is there anyone interested in LEADING an FJ Cruiser run? Someone that has done the trail a couple of times (at least once IN an FJ Cruiser) and would feel comfortable guiding a group in?

We were thinking of a Wednesday run or Thursday run after the bigger groups leave (1 PM Thursday).

let me know -- you can either PM me, or email me direct - rosswoody@earthlink.net

Thanks!

if an FJC group is formed, i'd like to film/document it. that being said, i will not be doing any spotting since the places where you'd probably need spotting are the same places i'd like to film. let me know.

also, i'll leave it up to the eventual trail leader to sort out the recovery equipment, spare parts, etc. inventory, but one thing you'll need for sure is a sanitary means of disposing waste. i recommend PETT, but there are a host of others out there now. digging ain't gonna cut it or suffice in a pinch (pun intended).
