We went to the Off-Rodeo for Bronco Sports this weekend.
They give out some swag, we each got a Yeti water bottle thing and a carry sack (presumably to hold purchases from the gift shop).
You drive their Sports. I thought that it was interesting that the vehicles had the base tires (Pirelli Scorpion AT2 ?) instead of the optional all terrains (Falken Wildpeak AT3W). I do have to say that I never felt lacking for traction with the Pirelli's.
Spent about 90 minutes learning how to use the GOAT modes and doing a some light off roading.
We went up a fairly steep hill, walking it was difficult, covered in dust and loose rocks of various sizes.
Had lunch, then did a mostly dirt road tour of the hill country with a couple of small water crossings (that any SUV/Truck could do).
A BS Badlands can be a lot of fun on a dirt road.
Then back to the Off-Rodeo property for two laps of what I'll call a rally course. This is where the fun was!
Then dinner, both lunch dinner were of excellent quality. Fajitas for lunch and Ribs for dinner with sides and salad.
While I would liked to have spent all day on the trails like the big Broncos I still had a great time and feel it was worth the time and money. Especially after not having a vacation for a couple of years. The lower your skill level the more I think you will enjoy it. I didn't learn anything about driving off road and still had great time.
