Teams enjoy simple, rustic, but spacious private rooms and shared hot showers and toilets in two large bunkhouses with "Summer Camp" style mattresses and cots. Bring your own towels, linens and/or sleeping bags. Rooms are electric-heated.
All meals are on your own, but as this is a small, friendly, and informal group, everyone brings a dish to pass for dinner on Saturday night. Otherwise, anything goes. Be sure to bring your favorite fixings for snacks and lunch on the trail both days. Serious "carbo-loading" is the standard procedure for each evening around the campfire. Bring your favorites.
For U. S. residents, this is the Columbus Day Weekend, and for the Canadian residents, this is Thanksgiving! YES ... think Turkey and all the fixin's!
Rides are primarily on the XC ski trails at the park's "Art Roscoe MTB and Ski Touring Center", but can also include horse trails and dirt roads, depending on your preferences and abilities. The ski trails are not technically difficult, but be prepared to climb. This is a great weekend event for tandem teams of any skill level.
