    Cancelled Western Virginia Roanoke Meet-up

    I'm gonna be there since i'm going to be missing next month's meet-up. Do we need to look at doing this on a different day? I know folks do a lot of travel this time of year but it seems like attendance is dropping off. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    Family of 5 overlanding setups?

    I've clipped it once on a "hard line" on a mild trail. I could have taken a slightly different line and been ok though. No damage, just heard it rattle a little.
