Ok folks, I wanted to get something in everyones calendar so we can start planning for our annual winter fishing event turned wheeling event. For the past 2 years we've been going to Nordegg and exploring out there and having a good time. Truck got stuck, tires were popped, and hands were burnt.....
This year we are going to try something a little different. A trek north to some of my old stomping grounds and to the land of the T-BAR (Tarsand Boreal Royale).
Recipe will be similar to other years. For a nomimnal fee of ~200 bucks you'll get 3 nights accommodations, 6 meals, participation in a pretty decent raffle and if we can pull it off again... a solid swag bag. We typically get 12 or so trucks and 20 or so people. Not really limited on size but if we get really big (which would be great) we'll spilt the party up for speed on the trails.
Feb 16th:
This is a travel day where folks blow off work a little early and head north. This is my biggest concern as this hasn't really changed the distance for our edmonton folks but really will impact our Calgary Friends. I'm hoping they still are encouraged to make the trek up for a great event. I know of a certain 53' cruiser barge that might have room if @Behemoth60 decides to attend. We'll arrive at the hotel and get set up for 2 days of trail riding.
Feb 17th:
Trail Ride day one.
Breakfast at the hotel
Poplar creek trail system:
This area is always fun in the winter. Hopefully the snow is good and we can spend all day exploring the valleys and forest and even sneak in a decent view here and there.
Trail Lunch provided
Dinner at one of YMM's famed restaurants..... ok well it will likely be better than Nordegg anyway....and open past 7pm....
Feb 18th:
Trail Ride day 2:
Breakfast at McCray's
Christina River/Clearwater River Trails
Trail Lunch
Dinner somehwere.... Thinking a BBQ at a local cruiserheads place to match up with a garage raffle. Haven't got the planning done on this part yet though....
Raffle
Feb 19th:
You're on your own for this day for grub and for getting yourself home! But the plan is everyone heads home this day and has lots of time to get there...
So Lets start expressing interest and maybe get a leg up on the planning.
