I wanted to re-post this info on Albert Beck's Celebration Of Life for those who may of missed it.

Please see the below information for my dad's celebration of life.

Saturday, April 4th, the family is having a celebration of life at the Partridge Hill Community hall south east of Fort Saskatchewan. Doors will open at 4:00 P.M. Foods, drinks and many stories about our friend Albert will be available.

If you can attend, great, hope to see your there if you can make it.
See address of Hall below as well as hotels in the Fort Saskatchewan if you plan to stay overnight Saturday and travel back home on Sunday.

There's a few of us that are sledding to Albert's Celebration.
You're welcomed to join in with us.
Here's our ride-plan:
Leaving this Saturday noon from the St. Paul Staging Area, (& Power Merchants), we will run the IHTrail to Smoky Lake, expecting to arrive there before 2:00pm.
Fuel stop at the Hiway Gas Stations, and ready for leaving Smoky Lake by 2:30pm
Run the IHTrail to Waskateanu, and then turn South 2.5 miles to the N.Sask River.
(Anyone wishing to tag up with us at Ashmont, Vilna, Smoky Lake, etc. is welcomed to do so.)
Run the River to Vinca Bridge, and continue towards Ft. Sask a few miles, where we'll jump up onto solid ground again near the South end of the Bruderheim Sand-Hills.
South about 4 miles to the Tempo gas station, and continue from there S-Westward to Partridge Hill Hall.
We expect to arrive at the Hall by 4:30pm'ish, and partake in Albert's Life Celebration which is hosted by the Snow Angels.
A couple of hours of some food and activities, centred on Albert's life, trail-building, riding adventures, and other invovlements, and we're homeward bound again by 7pm.

ETA for return to St. Paul by sled is between 11:00pm to midnite.
The other option is to organize being trailered back home.

Approx. Distances:
St. Paul to Waskatenau 130kms
Waskatenau to Partridge Hall 65kms
Total 200kms

Normal Travel Speed: 80kph
Avg. with stops: 50kph ETE = 4 hours

Note1: Waskatenau to Partridge Hall is not on formalized trail and approx 45kms is on the N.Sask. River.
Conditions thru there were checked today and look quite decent, and the cool weather is forecast to hold til past the weekend,
but as with any off-trail ride, there are risks and possiblities that the organizer cannot be held responsible for.

Ride at your own Risk. & always Ride Safe.

Note2: It's best that riders plan to bring a buddy:
In the event of a mechanical or other failure, the group will be limited on how long that it can be delayed, so other arrangements might need to made for return home
We will do our best to help out.

Note3: It is deserving that such a fine and dedicated gentleman as Albert might be honored by a ride that we will all remember as one of the longest April rides on one of longest winters in memory.
April 4, 2009

Please call me by Friday with your thoughts on joining us.
