Well the 2024 bumbling season is now in full swing.What would the season be without a few rallies? These rallies that the individual clubs hold are quite often held to raise money for a specific cause. There are so many of them that we have to choose which one we will go to. The first rally for us was the Shiktehawk Bible Camp Rally. This is an annual event to raise money to offset registration fees for children attending the summer camp programs. It was a sunny 21 degree weather this day. There were around 166 people registered for 85 km round trip and at the half way point we were treated to a barbeque and door prizes were drawn for. As usual we met up with old friends and met knew people. This rally surely is a great cause.
The next rally for us was the Skidaddle Ridge ATV Club on June 8. Despite the damp wet weather the rally went on with 70 bikes registered. Donations from this rally went to Sanctuary House- another great cause. What is a little rain for diehard atver! Leaving Howard Brook we bumbled on some beautiful trails. The trees were so green and fresh with cob webs everywhere.They were so sparkly from the rain.Lots of wildflowers showing up along the trails, Then there were the mud holes which most people enjoy, afterall what is atving all about.At the half way point we were treated to a barbeque hosted by DAVESPORTS. THey also drew for door prizes and yours truly won a t-shirt..YAYYYYYYYYYYY We had a down pour and what a time for my old faithful raincoat which I have wore for years decided not to protect me from the rain. I was soaked through. Thank you to Kevin and Pam for digging me out a dry sweatshirt and a fleece balanket. I had a nice comfy ride home.
River Valley ATV Club held a rally on June 15. Donations from this rally were donated to the Valley Food Bank. Hubby and I enjoyed a great breakfast hosted by the Trinity Church Sunday School. Leaving the Debec Recreation Center we travelled the trails which took us over Poverty Peak. What a view of the other side of the river!Bumbling along over smooth trails,muddy trails,stopping along the way to stretch our legs or to catch a picture of a trillium or other wild flower( the lupins were beautifu) we stopped at the Benton Park for lunch. What a sight to see. There were around 146 bikes registered(250 people) The children were having a great time on the play equipment and the dogs had space to stretch their legs as well. Some were enjoying lunch which was hosted by the Debec Recreation Couincil while others enjoyed lunch which they brought along with them.After lunch we returned to the starting point bumbling over winding,dusty and muddy trails. A GREAT DAY had by all, Happy Trails!
