DRIVERS, WHEN YOU SIGN UP,
PLEASE ANSWER THE CARPOOL QUESTION
REGARDING THE
AMOUNT OF
PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR CAR!!!
For those of you choosing to meet at the event location, instead of the carpool, please ensure that you come on time
I’ve set the maximum event count
at 1 as I
don’t want to add anyone to the event
until I have
enough carpool drivers to accommodate
passengers.
I
will try accommodate up to 25
people.
I usually carry a pair of icers
with me from
the first snowfall of the year until
the end of
April, so I recommend having a pair in
your pack
to deal with any potential ice.
You can find
the pair I use, 'here from
Amazon'.
