Cool thanks Driskol and Meadows. I don't know why I didn't think to look up MV or RRGCC on fb. I'd like to be as proactive as possible so rather than wait around for someone to post something I've put out as many feelers as I can think of and see what bites first. My summer schedule is pretty hectic otherwise I'd just camp out at Miguels until I hooked up with the HNIC (head niggas in charge). I'm all about some trail days, and hopefully can find the dates so I can secure them in my schedule. Until trail days at MV and PMRP I'd still like to help. I found my way to the teamsuck website, and I hope they don't mind if I repost something i copied from their website I thought may be beneficial to someone else. (not that anyone other than the 100 regulars read these posts anyway
