Hehehe... that'd be something to see wouldn't it?

SOXC has been growing very quickly. We are at the point now where we try and limit the number of trucks on any given run because we sometimes end up with upwars of 20+ trucks that all signup for a Sat trail run. We try to keep our trail group sizes on any one trail at any one time down to no more than 10-12 trucks at once on the same trail. This helps keep the pace from becoming too slow and also helps not ruffle too many feathers in regards to locals (municipalities) in the trail areas as well as the *powers that be* (Ministry of Natural Resources, etc.) It just results in less impact both on the trail as well as what is perceived.

We have had runs in the past though with up to 30 trucks, although it makes for slow moving on the trail!

As far as other activities, we usually get great turnouts. For coffee meets we always end up with anywhere from 5-6 up to 19-30 trucks. Gets lots of stares when people pull into a Tim Hortons and we have the entire far end of the parking lot taken over!

Camping and stuff we always get great turnouts as well. One of our last trips we had this year (our annual SOXC "Adventure Weekend" we had 27 trucks and about 40 people out for the weekend.

We also have an annual Xmas party. We just get together for Dinner at a restaurant, do a member anonymous gift exchange, and get everyone to bring childrens toys that we donate to Xmas toy drives. Last year we had about 30 people, this year we expect to have around 40+.

I guess what it all comes down to IMHO is that in the end it is the Xterra that brought us all together, but the members that keep everyone around. We have a very easy going, laid back, helpful bunch who just happen to all get along pretty damn well. It's been 4 years and we're still like a suburb of Mr Rogers Neighborhood!
