While the ride is winding down please remember this years ride was in memory of 2 special people. Our good friend Nate Blaylock from Klim Technical Riding Gear who worked so well with all of us. Also member Betty Bradfield, the wife of Bill Bradfield who passed away last July. God Bless them and their families.
Day 15 – Back on the trails

Today was the day our group split into two groups. Eight of our Brothers and Sisters decided to go back a few days early for various reasons. We had a broken sled and a few physical problems and work was calling the rest. We all had a safe ride today and are at our destination tonight. Eleven of the riders (+ one support truck and driver) decided to stay in the Nakina Area and ride today, we will be riding to Hornepayne, Ontario tomorrow. The other 7 riders (+one support truck and driver) rode down to Hornepayne today. The Satellite tracking page has been updated to show which participants are riding with each group.
I want to thank all the MichCanSka family for pulling together for the past two weeks through the good times and bad. We’ve raised money for Diabetes Research and that is our goal. Thanks to everyone that has supported our trip and has donated to Diabetes Research so far. Please Donate Now, every dollar helps! (some of you have questioned the donation link because it says “Virtual Roster“, this is just the company DRI has utilized to collect online donations for the past several years for all their charity events)
God speed the rest of the trip for all.

Warming shack on the trail. We stopped and built a fire to warm up. It is only 1 degree outside and the fire felt great.
Thanks to Gabby and Dorene for guiding us today and donating $200.00 to Diabetes Research. A Great big Thank-you Country Kitchen for a wonderful lunch and a donation of $100.00 to DRI.

Trailering to Geraldton
Posted in Trip updates on February 26, 2012| 2 Comments »
No riding today because we had to trailer from Kakabeka Falls to Geraldton. We had to by pass Thunder Bay because of lack of trails. These pictures were taken from Highway 11 as we were traveling. The weather here at Geraldton has cooled down it is 12 degrees right now and it is expected to go down to -02 tonight.
Another beautiful Picture

Off Trail Riding

We made it safely back to Kababeka Falls this afternoon. The winding trails were very challenging. Some of us had a little trouble and had a chance to check the snow depth off the trail. We have had to double back and will be traveling to Geralton tomorrow.
