What: Guided trail ride

When: February 15, 2014 - 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Meet: Uwharrie Off Road Training Center, 4026 NC Highway 109 North, Eldorado, NC 27371 at 10:00 AM. We will leave at 10:15 SHARP for Big Creek. You will leave your trailer at UORTC if you have a licensed 4WD. Limited trailer parking available at Big Creek. We will be meeting at UORTC not at Big Creek.

Where: UORTC's -Big Creek Advanced Skills Training Grounds

Why: An opportunity to drive exciting new trails in the Uwharrie National Forest area; test your driving skills and your vehicle’s off road capabilities; enjoy a fun and rewarding day getting to know yourself and your 4WD vehicle. UORTC's best will be on hand to help you if you would like. We can provide expert coaching, recovery assistance and spotting. Safety and TREAD Lightly! are the most important factors.

Big Creek is a 120 acre property located 4 miles North from UORTC's headquarters. This property has been leased by UORTC to develop trails for training and fun. These trails provide challenges to test modified vehicles with lockers, large tires and WINCHES while providing bypasses that allow a near stock 4x4 vehicle the ability to enjoy the same trails! Some of the trails are tight and not suitable for full size vehicles without incurring body damage!

The cost of this unique experience is only $30 per vehicle and limited to 30 vehicles! Passengers are free. Drivers must sign a Waiver and a Safety Agreement. All passengers must sign a Waiver. Minors under the age of 18, parents/guardians must sign a waiver for them.

Pre-registration is required! To reserve your spot, contact UORTC, Scott Fields, at 336-906-1644 or Uwharrie4w@aol.com . Payment can be made via PayPal using the email address Uwharrie4w@aol.com , Credit Card (call 336-906-1644 if paying by CC) or by check made payable to: UORTC and mailed to 4026 NC Highway 109 North, Uwharrie, NC 27371.

One will check in at UORTC headquarters at 10:00 AM (4026 NC Highway 109 North, Troy, NC, 27371) where you will sign your paperwork if you have not taken care of it through emails. OHV trail driving/riding is an inherently dangerous sport and you acknowledge this fact and assume all liability for damage to your vehicle or injuries to you, your passengers or others on the Big Creek property!

There is LIMITED trailer parking at Big Creek, register early to insure your spot! There are no bathroom facilities at Big Creek! Bring your own food and drinks! The Big Creek gate will close at 5 p.m. sharp! One may leave at anytime (and return) to travel to the Eldorado Outpost for flushing toilets and food/drinks if they desire. We cannot guarantee that we can get you back into one of the caravanning groups, you maybe on your own. Please bring your lunch, drinks and other items you may need or want on the trail.


NO ALCOHOL!

Again, there will be UORTC personnel stationed on the Big Creek trails to ensure your safety and provide obstacle coaching IF you so desire.

Camp sites on the UORTC Headquarters property are available for Friday and Saturday nights. Cost is $5 per person per night. If interested in camping please let me know.

Signed up for my son's jeep also. So that's 2 from me Scott. My LJ and is TJ, both locked on 33's. He is a better driver, but I do get to pay for everything he breaks :). Hoping to replace his winch cable before then. Celebrating his 19th bday with this trip.

Hi, what is the head count up to on this event? I want to sign up but because my work schedule can be flexible I cannot commit until about 01 Feb. Is it possible to keep a running tally? Much appreciated, thanks.

Sure we have 10 paid so far out of 30. Thank you for your interest in the 30/30!
 
There's pics and videos in the big creek icebreaker thread. Ill post the link to it later if you can't find it.
 
Hey, I am too ugly to be my son's valentine and that would be weird (even for me) but we are happy to be coming to try out some new trails. Hey, it was enough to get him to come home from college and spend time with his old man, so that's got to be worth something :)

Looking forward to it.

This will be a great Father-Son day for you both. So glad you both are joining us!
 
I understand the guided tour but will there be plenty of chances to try hard obstacles? Or is it just an fast peace ride?

Not fast paced at all. We want to be sure that everyone sees all the best trails. We will definitely stop at the play areas and those that want to try can and those that don't can take pictures/video.

Great question - Thanks!
 
Do we need to have the paper work you provided filled out when we arrive?
Yes please. That will speed up everything that morning. If you are able, go ahead and scan them to me at scott@UORTC.com That would help even more. I will be sending out an email to everyone a week before the 15th with the forms attached and reminding them.
