For many people New Years is traditionally the time to make a fresh start, make some changes for the better by attempting a resolution or two. Other people follow different traditions and I happen to be involved with just such a group. On New Year’s Day these past two years, the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia has seen a large group of wheelers set out in the early hours of the morning in search of adventure. This adventure, now known as the Hangover Run, was offered as a trail run by Jay Kirton for those with the spirit to start the new year in low range.
Beginning in 2012, in the small city of Penticton, Jay put out the word that a snow run was to be held on New Year’s Day. This tradition was continued in 2013 with Jay again leading the way. The snow began falling and the Jeeps were out of the shop ready to be pushed to their limits.
If you would like to join us next year for the Hangover Run or see other rides that are coming up with the British Columbia Jeep Club visit www.bcjeepclub.ca.
