Hi Everyone,
Mother Nature has dealt a cruel hand to the 2015 Hus Ski / Diablo Get Together. NO SNOW! For that reason, the event in Finch was cancelled. I apologize to everyone who had made plans to attend.
However, with bad news of the cancellation, another host has offered an opportunity to gather, enjoy company and ride.
Larry Gendron, his buddy the infamous Pooper, Barrie Graham and a group of riders show up in Chalk River, Ontario every year to ride for a day or two. This will be the 25th year of this gathering and that alone is special. Larry extends a welcome for all who want to come and ride with the group on Saturday, February 7th.
For those travelling, there are several places to stay in Deep River which is about 10 miles from Chalk River. They include the Bear's Den, Deep River Motel and the Pine Motel. If you show up on Friday, you may be able to enjoy a ride Friday afternoon with the early group.
The main gathering will be on Saturday with the first ride heading out about 10 in the morning. After a couple hours on the trail, we plan to meet back at the cabin area for lunch. Early afternoon offers another ride and a chance to get some snow under those skis. It is sure to be a day of fun and a chance to meet many enthusiasts that share a common passion.
These rides take place on governmental land, so no trail passes will be required. If you are coming from the US to ride in Canada and are unfamiliar with that process, let me know. You will provide your own food and drink. There will be fires, grills or something to heat up your food. A place to go to warm up if needed.
This is an RSVP event. Everyone is welcome, but because it is being offered with such short notice, all the details are not yet set. So with that, I need to know who is coming so we can communicate those details to help make this the best event of your winter!
Hope to hear from a bunch of you soon!
Happy Trails Everyone!
