Club Runs

Check out the club’s page on IH8MUD for the latest information on club runs.


Upcoming Events:

  • June 25-29 Club Run – Rubithon

How many of you are interested in doing this as a club run? It’s a ‘bucket list’ trip, if your truck is set up to handle a trail of this difficulty. Doing it with the club will ensure that you’ll have trail assistance, spotting, and rock-stacking help. And, it’d be really nice to have a strong club presence at this national TLCA event that takes place so close to us! So far we have SIX people interested in representing our club and running the Rubicon Trail at the 37th annual TLCA Rubithon!!

If you are interested in going sign up HERE and register for a “Renegade run on Wednesday” with Rich Petrulio as the trail leader. Note that a $25 late fee will be added to registrations after May 17th and registration closes May 31st.

  • July 6 Club Meeting Tech Talk – Tire plugging and repairing on the trail!!

  • July 17-20 Club Run – Big Bear A Thon

Like years past (2023 and 2024), this will be a multi-day base camping and exploration event on Thursday 7/24 to Saturday 7/26. Being on the last weekend of July, I’m expecting for the weather to be sunny during the day and cool at night, perfect for wheeling and cookouts!

Trails in the areas are mild to wild and we will explore the area to the best ability of our vehicles. Be sure that your vehicle has recovery points in both front and rear. Without recovery points you can still join us at camp but won’t be trail riding.

I would like to try something new this year and welcome those willing to try in their two wheel drive vehicles on the not so technical runs. Though high clearance and recovery points are still required. 2WD can definitely get to our campsite (34.30485, -116.88698) and can be camped there while you can ride with someone in their 4WD. There is enough space for a handful of trailers but do let me know ahead of time if you are bringing one so we can arrange accordingly.

More details to come…

Please reply on our IH8MUD thread if you plan to join. And I hope you do!
