Hows Vega on May long?

[dragonweld28]

Hey Guys

A bunch of friends and i where wondering if Vega was any good on may long weekend?? We have sport quads and 4x4 quads. Love all sorts of riding, Trials, mud, roads etc. i heard the Cop presence up there is bad these days. Any feedback would be awesome. If you know of any other areas around edmonton/ central alberta it would be appreciated!!

Most likely overcrowded and trails aren't that great.

Who cares if there are cops there, have all your stuff in order and carry on.

Vega was gay to ride 10 yrs ago. Great place if you're a motocrosser and want to practise Whoops. As far as the cops go, I agree with trashy, Get your sh!t together or stay home.

Well my sh!t is together, i just hste getting stopped every day so they can check for papers. There always such assho!es, Like there saving the world or something!! Either way it sounds like its not the best place for 4x4 quads!!

They must do things different where youre from. Here if you get stopped and have all your paperwork in order they are usually real nice guys and give you a specific coloured handlebar sticker to put on your machine for the weekend. That sticker lets all other officers know that you have been checked out and are good to go and they leave you alone.

That sounds more like it. I have yet to experience that. I got stopped 3 times in one day by 3 different guys. had to sit there for 30 min each time as he went and sat in his truck to make sure we were all good.

Ya they just change colours every few weeks. The sticker comes off easily. It's a pretty sweet idea.

I like Vega but dunno if I could spend a whole weekend there. You could always try by the Brazeau Dam. I haven't ridden there much but know a few who campt there religiously, so there must be a plethora of trails. Problem with the Braz is that you gotta be careful where you camp or there's a good chance you may come back to find something (or everything) missing. I don't know if theft is an issue at the campsites or just for random campers.

There's quad friendly camp sites in Whitecourt too - lots of terrain up there. I'm sure you'd find them easily with a little googling.

We have a HOOT there are lots of trails (i ride bike). For quads your a bit limited i guess but its a good time were planning on spending a bit of time there this summer.

As for may long its not going to be any different then any other place for may long cold,prob wet, over crowded, drunken a$$ h0les, etc etc

u have fun on may long i will be there 2 weekends later after the rush

Vega's a gong show on may long - usually gets trashed. I'd go the weekend after.

 

[fidorama]

yup, if Vega is your plan, you may want to get there early... it will get packed! As will most places May long. The RCMP and fish cops will be everywhere as well. And as long as you have all your documents, are not drinking, they are usually pretty good. Stay off the road, and south of it or you will get in trouble.

Long weekends get busy, to much traffic, May long is usually the most enforced. I prefer a non long weekend or better yet a weekday.
