Hi everyone,
Received my Bronco in early Dec and starting to do some research on the best way to learn how to use it. I have 0 offroad experience but very interested to learn. I'm an avid hiker and fly fisherman, recently moved to Longmont, and so having a capable 4x4 vehicle was high on the list to access some cool spots. Beyond that, the offroad "sport" seems fun and challenging in its own right.
I'm looking for some advice around these topics:
1) Best reference for picking off-roading trails based on experience. something like this: this: or maybe a website/club reference section?
2) Is Off-Roadeo a good place to start for a newbie or are there better local classes, meetups, etc.?
3) What are some good groups in Denver, preferably Boulder/Longmont area for trips? I'd rather learn in a group, especially lacking recovery gear for the moment.
4) What are the best/safest solo tracks for practice with the vehicle where I'm not likely to need a lot of help?
Looking forward to meeting some of you and thanks in advance for any guidance. Obvioulsy I have Googled a lot of the above but just looking for some more personal recommendations from this crowd and hopefully a few personal connections.
Thanks!
Brian
