We definitely had fun!
Started by running Fordyce from the Committee Trail and up Winch Hills #3, #4, and #5. We made great time and had lunch just past the lake. No damage and no major stucks.
We then popped over to Bear Valley Loop Trail to finish the afternoon. The trail is very easy but we had fun running the winch hills in 2WD. The Ball Peen was a little disappointing since a bunch of the big rocks were moved out of the way. Still, it presented a bit of a challenge for some of our group. The last winch hill is a pretty good obstacle with some pucker factor at the top. We had a good time.
Oh, there was a little damage but nothing too major. I broke a control arm mount for one of my front uppers. The good news was it cured a squeak that I've been looking for. No more squeak but no more control arm. Have to get it fixed before Thursday.
Oh...and who won the ball peen challenge...
ME, ME, ME, ME, ME
