The Safety and Equipment Checklist has been updated as of 12 May 2010. Click the link below for the latest version.

The intent of the Checklist and pre-ride inspection is to ensure all participating vehicles are in a safe and driveable condition, and to mitigate impacts on the land upon which we ride.

The checklist and inspection will become mandatory in 2009.

ONSC's adopted trail at Uwharrie National Forest, Falls Dam, is due for some maintenance, and the Forest Service has asked that we head over March 27. Following is information we received from Terry with the USFS:

"Hi Greg - March 27th-28th is good for us. We only have one other club scheduled for that day. We need to finish our inventory next week and get final details to you. Plan on putting in some guardrail and let me know if you think the club will be able to rent a walk behind or pull behind auger. We have 3 hand/gas augers that we can use but if your club is planning on renting any equipment that would be the most useful. If you can't rent one let me know and we'll get one set up on our end. How many volunteers will you have there?

Have your club members be ready to meet the FS folks at Uwharrie Hunt Camp at 9 am on Saturday, March 27th. Have them bring water, lunch, work boots, work gloves, and if a couple of you could bring ratchet or wrench sets that would be helpful too. I'll send more details next week about what to plan for. Also, if your club members are going to camp over at Arrowhead please contact Janet Becker at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and me by Tuesday or Wednesday of that week (March 23rd or 24th) so she can get things set up. Thanks a lot. Bye - Terry"

It's important that we live up to our commitment to the Uwharrie trail system, so please come out and assist with the work.

Hope everyone is doing well. This month as we have previously discussed is going to be our annual Meet-N-Greet at the Farm.

Location will be in Denton, NC just north of Uwharrie National Forest on Old 109. Please PM me for additional directions.

Format for the event will be as follows: Arrive anytime you want on saturday and stay as long as you would like, for those whole would like to camp overnight we have plenty of room so don't be concerned with that. This will be a family oriented event so don't hesitate to bring the whole family and for those that don't want to camp, we invite you to come down for the day Saturday and bring the family. Those camping Saturday Night only thing I ask is that we break down camp by 10AM on Sunday.

We will be cooking a pig, having a campfire saturday night, and having several games to play throughout the weekend (horseshoes, RTI Ramp, etc.). We also plan to have a little swap meet so bring any cruisers parts you think others might need, theres another post "Swap Meet Requests" that one can post to stating what they might need. This should be a great experience to get everyone around the state together in a central location and introduce not only the officers of your club but also the members so one another has a better idea of who is who.

Stay tuned for additional information, we will need a head count in the next week so we can organize the meal so please post up if you intend to come and how many will be with you. Hope to see everyone there.

I will be sending out an email to via the current club roster email addy's monday night with directions. If you want additional information shoot me a PM.

PETS WELCOME

Look forward to having everyone out.

Greg
