Ladies Trail Clearing Weeks
(2 nite / 3 days $446 Cdn pp or 6 nites/ 7 days $1110 Cdn pp)
Between May 15 - 23, 2009

Get out of the gym and away from the bikepaths for a workout of 3 to 7 days throughout May. Our trails are challenging and need clearing. The work is rewarding and the air refreshing. This week is not for the faint of heart and requires that you be able to leap as nimble as a bird in and out of the saddle as we remove winter deadfall and debris from the trails or correct erosion problems. If your idea of a workout means you don't mind getting dirty and like to reward your efforts with a hearty meal and the thought of being serenaded to sleep by coyotes while in a comfy bed... Then this is for you.
