How long is the ride? Will a full tank of gas be enough or should we pack a Jerry can?

I don't recall exactly but I'm pretty sure it's about 40km. I've never needed extra fuel on this one, even when the snow was at it's deepest. However, I almost always carry spare fuel anyway. Much like condoms, it's better to have it and not need it. I burnt myself pretty badly at the Jamboree last year because I ended up having to tow a friend for most of the rally - the one time I decide I didn't need to bother topping up my jerry cans before heading out.

That's right. The RCMP almost always have a presence at our rallies. Some years they just kind of hang out and other years they check and band everyone before the starting line. No biggie - who rides in Alberta without insurance and reg these days anyway?

Where is Lac st. Anne?

 

[whoDEANie]

Lac Ste Anne is the county. Alberta Beach is where it's at, Westy of Edmonton. Registration is at the Agriplex, but you won't be able to find the Agriplex on Google maps. Google Ecko Marine - the Agriplex is a couple blocks West of Ecko.

The three of us did the sled poker rally on saturday, absolutely the best ride so far, first ones out on the golden groomed trails. Planning on coming to the ATV poker rally also as long as the weather will be good. Have not been in a few years, hubby a fair weather quad rider.

Weather's gonna be awesome. I'll be working checkpoint 2 unless we have some no-shows - be sure to drop by and say hi!

I left right after we finished sweeping the trail, so I have no idea who won yet, how many showed, or even what the payout was. However, I should be getting all the info sent to me within the next day or so. I do know it was a great success with well over 300 riders. The trail was a bit dicey in sections, so hopefully no one out there got hurt - unfortunately, the crazy weather is something we have no control over.
Thanks to everyone who showed!

Trails were fine, just had to be careful in the frozen ruts , getting all bounced around hard can do damaged to the front end. It was a great day all in all. 300 riders that is excellent, more than the sled rally. Son had the best hand, 3 of a kind with 3's, lol. A longer trails system would be nice, hopefully there is more land that can be utilized in the future and this great participation can go towards that one day. Now bring on summer.
