Lets hope for a great triangle this year as last year was very good. I tend to ride the triangle a lot solo so this year I am planning on hooking up with fellow snowmobilers to do this ride in 1 day several times over the season. I will check in later in the season and try to arrange this ride early February if possible. Let me know your thoughts.

Event: Golden TriangleDate: Saturday March 7th, 2020.

Details:
Meet at the highway 43 Esso in Gunn, Alberta at 7:30am. (this will put us in the staging are for 8:30am, and hopefully on the trails before 9am)
There is a planned event taking place in Fox Creek that morning, which will also be riding the Golden triangle. (We will be a separate event).
Plan is to stage at Eagle River Staging area, just past the Casino on highway 32. Run to Fox Creek, Fuel up in town, Ride to Swan Hills, Fuel up and have lunch. Then Ride
Back to Whitecourt.
Total KM’s = 350-ish.
WhiteCourt to Fox Creek = 112kms
Fox Creek to Swan Hills = 112kms
Swan Hills to Whitecourt = 115kms

What you should bring:
ASA trail pass, or cash to buy one at the trail head.
Insurance and Registration.
Toilet paper for when the call of nature hits.
I’m packing a 10 litre jerry can for gas. as well as a jug of oil.
Lunch/money for lunch if you wish to eat at the Burger Barron or a restaurant in Swan Hills
If you have a radio bring it, I like running radios as the group doesn’t get too spread out or separated should a break down occur.
Dress appropriately for the weather

I am running mountain sleds, so most likely will be staying under 80km/hr
I did this run once before, years ago, we did it in roughly 7.5hrs, planning to be closer to 10, for a more relaxed ride.

Please leave the Alcohol at home

If you are interested, Give me a call or a text @ 780-993-3119 or send me an email, 58rocket88@gmail.com
