Was wondering if anybody was interested in organizing a ride in Golden on the 22/23 maybe? I've never been to the mountains, but I would love to go with someone who could show me a few things. Anyone who wants to set something up, let me know.

Yeah I actually just read about that in the Golden section. :( Not very happy to see that, I might have to try and check out another area. Any suggestions? I'm only looking for a 1 or 2 day ride at the moment, somewhere within 4-5 hours from Calgary preferably. Again, if anyone has somewhere they're going and wouldn't mind another person along, I'd love to go.

I`m wanting to go to McBride on that weekend, but it maybe a little far for you to drive. I want to do golden to but I`m also worried about the break in`s lately. I think they has someone watching the trucks during the day for a donation of a couple bucks each. Well spend money in my opinion. Maybe someone will chime in and tell us if they has security in Golden now.

How far is McBride? I'd be up for 6h of driving or so if there was a place to stay overnight. You thinking of a 2 day ride or something like that? I have to be back on Monday for 4PM for work, but I could go anytime from Saturday early morning to be back for Monday.

There`s lots of places to stay in Mcbride. Barry has a B&B there, it`s $70 person per night. I`m not sure how far it is for you but from Edmonton is about a 6 hour drive doing the speed limit. I have to be back for Monday also( 7:30am at the latest). I would want to ride all say Saturday and until 1-2 on Sunday. When I go I like to get up early and ride so Sunday would still give me about 6 hours of ride time.

I'm sorry, think I'm gonna have to pass on this one 4extreme. Got a friends birthday coming up this weekend that I just found out about and kinda need to go to. I'll have to make a McBride trip another time and meet up with you there when I've got more time. I checked a few maps and it looks like it'd be about 8 hours or so for me, which I don't really feel up to doing this weekend. Let me know if you have anything planned for any weekends following this one though.

Hey Jim,

I'm in the same boat. I don't know many people and don't get out as much as I would like, would you maybe be up for a day ride to Radium on the weekend, its no further than Golden. But I have no idea what the snow conditions are like. Cranbrook is also about 4 hrs away which has snow. Let me know if you would be up for a day trip. Thanks

Conrad

If you are interested in going to Radium for a day trip this weekend I would be interested for sure. I have a truck and 2 place trailer. I have never sled radium either and need to get out this year. I'm in Cochrane so let me know and we could hook up for a day ride.

slabm7, I would love to get out there this weekend. Unfortunately I have a friends Bday party sat night, and work on sunday, but I'll try and get the work changed. Would you be up for a Sunday day ride to radium or anywhere else you wanted to go if I can change my hours? (You as well catzuki) Let me know, or give me a call 403.934.9545

Yeah I definetly would, I have no plans all weekend. I have never ridden radium but have heard good things about it. I'm a little scared of Golden right now with all the vandalism, and Radium would be about the same distance. Catzuki are you in to?
