The fourth annual Lake Louise ride is scheduled for March 28, 29 and 30, 2008. As in years past the ride package will include lodging Friday and Saturday night, dinner Friday and Saturday, breakfast Saturday and Sunday. This year’s fees are slightly over $162.50 per person. If you would like to show up a day early Victoria has said that shouldn’t be a problem. The Point Lodge is a full service facility with Bar, Kitchen and 12 rooms. All room have adjoining 1/2 bathrooms. Shower facilities are on each floor of the lodge. Room reservations will be double occupancy. Please have a room partner if you are single. The road has been paved all the way to the lake; therefore I plan on going directly to the Point Lodge on Friday evening. Riding the 45 miles from Eureka will be at the discretion of the individual riders. This trail is well marked and generally groomed prior to this weekend. A few people have mention that they may meet at the Point on Friday and ride to Eureka and back. I will pass on any information on this as it develops. This year my bride of many years is taking me to Victoria to watch Canada play hockey. This will limit the time I have available for Lake Louise, but several people have mentioned they will help out. Saturday will again feature optional rides depending on those attending and their desires. There are hundreds of miles of groomed trails (the Wolf Pack groomed all night for us last year) that are well marked and maps are available for those that want to venture out. The Poker run featured by the Wolf Pack Snow machine club will be available for any that wish. The route is set a few days prior but goes to all the locale lodges and several of the area lakes. The run is about 60 miles and entry fee includes dinner if you want. I suggest you pass and eat some of Victoria’s home made dinners. I will lead a leisure ride Saturday after breakfast for those that want to sight see. Hopefully the ride leader will behave and not break anything so everyone can concentrate on sight seeing. Mother Nature will have the largest say in where the GOOD riding will be found at that time of year as spring in Alaska is fickle. Sunday after breakfast riding is always good for those that don’t have to rush back to town. Kurt Julsen
