2008 EVENT SCHEDULE
CAROLINA
TRAILBLAZERS 4WD CLUB
Call the HOTLINE for the latest info--->>> (828) 328-6264 Most rides are scheduled for the 2ND SUNDAY OF THE MONTH, or that weekend.
Notice: Club sponsored rides are for dues paying club members. If you are interested in joining the club and would like to attend a trail ride we would love to have you along on a ride to show you just how much fun our club can be. If you are a prospective member and would like to attend a trail ride before you join please call our Hotline phone number, above, and leave a message. We will contact you, give you the details for the ride, and assign you a "trail buddy"; someone that can meet you at the ride and show you around. Also, please do not show up for the ride unless you meet the basic vehicle safety requirements at the bottom of this page. This is for everyones benefit.
Our club has many members. Unfortunately, some of us forget to pay our dues on time. To help us remember, the details of the rides will not be posted on this site but will only be available in the news letter. So pay your dues and get a news letter. Sorry if this offends anyone but there's no such thing as a "free ride" I guess ;-)
Members: If you bring a guest to a trail ride you are responsible for them. Make sure they are prepared and make sure they ride ahead of or behind your vehicle. Also, guests are only guests for so long. Please be considerate of you dues paying club members and ask your "guest" to join if he/she wants to attend more than just one or two rides.
