Bay Area Broncos

Here we go with the new G.O.A.T’s of the bay!!

Just an update on the upcoming Tumey Hills run this Saturday - it's still ON! The weather looks to be decent, but the trail may be a bit muddy/slippery - but that won't stop our Broncos, will it?! BTW, if you have non-Bronco 4x4 friends who'd like to tag along, they're welcomed to!

As planned, we'll complete the loop trail (hopefully) at a safe pace, more for enjoyment of the surroundings than testing of our rigs, after which we will head to Los Banos for a BBQ lunch. Bring money, 'cause neither I nor Rob Anthony is treating this time!

We are meeting at Casa de Fruta, just outside of Gilroy, at 9 AM. Be on time, or gimme a heads-up somehow; I'll be checking my phone to read possible last-minute messages on FB or 6G. PM me if you'd like my cell number.

Bring a radio (GMRS/FRS/Ham), and whatever recovery gear you've got (ensure that your recovery points are serviceable). Crucially, have the ability to air down (and hopefully "up" - if not, I can air you back up). My recommended trail pressure is 15 psi - you won't pop a bead at that pressure, and you'll need the added grip if the terrain is muddy.

Let's have some fun!

I've been out there a few times in what could be considered our "normal" dry winters, of the last ten years... It was insanely muddy....sticky gumbo mud that fills the treads instantly resulting in near zero uphill traction...Given the rains we've been having, I can't imagine what it is like right now. Have fun and be safe!

@Rwhite692 Good to know (I've never been there), thanks for the heads-up. We'll be extra conservative and careful.

@WheelMe Wow! that's crazy! I wonder if that area just got lucky, over the last series of storms.
