Well now that other trips are sorted out this one will be a go. This will most likely be the last run before we get into the snow wheeling. Hope many of you can make it as this trip will be one of the last big ones for the year.
I'm hoping that the weather holds out for some decent camping but anything is to be expected. Sorry for the delay in the original trip. I hope that those of you who were interested in attending this trip prior to the delay still have interest.
October 15-17
Run Details
We will start by getting to the ghost town of Lille on Friday. This will be the location of our camp. There are some remains from the town to check out. Trickle in as you please. Come in the morning and throughout the day. Camp will be located in the shelter of the trees to the North East corner of the ghost town. I will see if I can get someone out early who has been there to make sure everyone is in the proper location. I will be leaving Red Deer after work so I might be late or early it all depends on when my day is over.
Saturday we will do a loop trail North of the camp. fjtent knows what it is called. Sunday we will do some more trails around the trunk road. And for me if I can get Monday off we will do some really light trials and check out the history in the area from days gone by. Sorry for such a brief overview my brain is fried in prep for the Rubicon and I have been working like a mad man.
Remember this is a club run so no drinking while wheeling. There will be plenty of time to enjoy drinks at the end of the days when we are all safe at camp. Stocker vehicles are welcome this is not a hardcore run like some of the other ones we do. There will be technical spots but don't be afraid to ask for some spotting.
