Ride update: We are planning a ride west of Thunder Bay, we are looking at staging from Kekabeka Falls, here is a link for the out of towners http://www.canadianfriendsoffinland.ca/kbtour.htm The cool thing is that we have a new bylaw being passed to legally drive ATV's on the shoulder of roads in the township to get to our trails in motion right now and will be ready for the ride, the city council has assured us of this, The other cool thing is that we will not need to trailer to anywhere to ride. It will be ride from your Hotel room!!!!. Kekabeka has a long history of awesome hospitality and they cater to ATVer's and snowmobiler's. I am going to approach local business owners to get as many "Spring Ride" discounts as I can to make the trip worth while for everyone. Stay tuned, More information to follow. Original information above quoted by Kesa edited to correct link

For those still thinking about the Thunder Bay Spring ride, a bit of info on the ride. We did the ride last Sunday. It is 79 miles in total. There is fast gravel road running, nice grassy well treed old bush roads, mud (DEEP MUD), fantastic pinic site by a river rapids, and everything in between. There is about 20 miles of that that is not part of a loop, so a lot of new ground will be seen. The return 1/2 is much faster than the 1st half. The mud is in the first half, and by the end of the day, we will all be ready for a cool refreshment. Some of the locals are thinking of getting rooms at the Kakabeka Hotel as well to stay as part of the group into the evening. The by-law talked about in an earlier reply is not in fact in law yet - but we did get council permission to ride the streets/roads for this ride. We will just have to behave (ride the speed limit while on the short bit of the town street). The Kakabeka Falls Hotel will be an excellant host. Their food is always excellant, and the beer is always cold. Hope to see a bunch of you there Neeje (Adrian Tessier)

Those with 2wd machines are welcome - there are by-passes on all the deep mud areas, and we all have winches as well. We are hoping for a great ride this year. I am working with the 3 municipalities in the area to get them on the ATV band wagon, and so far so good. If we can prove that a bunch of ATV's can go out for a big ride, cause no harm, obey all the rules, get no bad press, have fun, and support the local businesses, we all win. I was interviewed on the local CBC (Canadian Boradcasting Corporation) about the ATV program in the Thunder Bay area. Hopefully we can get a good turn out, have fun and prove to be a good thing for tourism. If this goes well, I can see nothing but better and better rides here.

If there are some that want a ride day 2, we can look at a nice shorter ride for the 2nd day. We would have to trailer a little for that one though. Neeje

Well - some more news of the Thunder Bay Spring Ride. We got the by-law passed in the municipality for riding on the township roads and streets. I found new legislation that allows us to travel on the TransCanada Highway, and have dealt with other legal issues. We are all good to go. There will however be a couple rules we have to follow while on the township roads and highways, and that is primarly speed. We will have a riders meeting just before we leave for the day, and all will be explained. None of it is a problem, and if we all behave - we are out for a great ride. It is EASY. There is a great grocery store in Kakabeka Falls that will have everyting that you need for a trail lunch. The Kakabeka Falls Motor Hotel will also pack you a lunch if you ask the night before. Do not plan on a fire to cook anything, as we are in a fairly dry season, and a fire will take a while anyways. We will be having a MANDITORY riders meeting at the Hotel at 8:00 am. We do need to discuss the route, safety, and rules of the road. For those wanting breakfast - the restaraunt will be open at 6:00 am. In the evening there will be a chilli feast and a band will be starting in the bar at 9:00 pm. There will be a couple busses for those that want to leave their cars behind and save the ride with the constabulary. If you need any more information, please feel free to reply to this post. Please use this post because others may have the same question that you have, or may not have thought of it. Thank You Ride Safe Neeje (Adrian Tessier - (807-939-1809 H)(807-628-5614 C)

Just a reminder to our US frienda, make sure your Quads are clean - free of any mud and dirt - before you come across the border. You will have issues with the customs office if they are very dirty. There is a self serve car wash in Kakabeka Falls to clean-up before you go back. Don't forget, you need a helmet.

If there are those that want a ride on Day 2 - let me know, and we will arrange one. We would have to trailer to it. We have a nice area close to border which will get our US friends closer for the drive home as one idea. Get back to me if you can, and I will work on it. Neeje
