Cruise Moab Trail Leader/Gunner pre-run weekend - March 19-21, 2021
(With the blessings of the Cruise Moab event but not an organized event of Cruise Moab. Just a bunch of eager folks preparing!)
Purpose: Pre-run trails so you can help lead and tailgun CM trail runs.
Definitions: There is a “Leader” and a “Gunner.” I call them “co-leaders.” Both provide critical functions.
Dates: 3/19-21. Drive out Thursday night if possible. Meet us Friday night if not. (That weekend because 3/13 -14 is Trail Leader Training with Bill Burke and 3/28 EJS (Easter jeep Safari) starts.
What we’ll do: Pre-run a trail you never ran but want to lead. Pre-run a trail you have not done in a while to see its condition. Lead a pre run of a trail you know to future leaders to practice leading. In this group we will have people who have done them all. Tail-gun a trail to practice tail gunning. Gather at the campfire, socially distanced, and teach leading. Have fun!
The primary focus will be to run trails you will be leading/gunning at CM 2021. We'll also talk a lot about how we lead at CM. Its quite different than other events or clubs. Rising Sun trail leadership is excellent!
We run 1-2 trails per day Friday and Saturday and one Sunday AM optional, or just head home. In the evenings you’ll bring your dinner to the campfire and we will talk about how we lead trails and share war stories. It will be fun and educational. I will be teaching from a 7 page syllabus about trail leading.
Don't go if you will not be leading or gunning at CM 2021. Its not a “lets go wheeling” weekend. Its a mission. If you have never been to CM you won’t be leading this year, no pre-run for you (unless you are already an experienced leader and need to learn a trail, and plan to volunteer to lead at CM 2021)
For trails we typically run, see: https://www.cruisemoab.com/trail-descriptions/
No size limit to this pre-run.
Where we stay is TBD.
Post up if you will attend and what trails you want to run (if you know, we can chose when we are out there)
But wait – are we even having Cruise Moab this year? I have been authorized to say yes, and that all your questions will be answered in https://risingsun4x4club.org/xf/threads/cruise-moab-2021-registration.30320/ so don’t ask here.
