On this week's episode I have Chanette Mckibben and Tim Archer on to talk about a spectacular event within an epic event. That sub-event is CruiseHer. A trail run that is designed and led by ladies for a female driver's only trail run during SAS 10. This trail run gives the ladies a chance to tell the guys to either be the passenger princess for the day or stay back at camp. This is their turn to get dirty and dusty behind the wheel.
