2006 TY Manitoba Ride

[NOS-PRO]

Well, I will post 1st...................

All in all, it was another success, and Brian and all involved, should be congratulated! It takes a lot of preparation to get these rides together.

Also, Brian worked on Viper Dave's sled after the chain case bearings blew out on the trail, and also worked on Impalapowers rear skid to change hyfax that came undone. Brain also worked on his own sleds. This guy put his heart and soul into making everyone have a good time!

HATS OFF TO YOU, BRIAN!!!!!

Everybody that was there new how cold it was, and had to pull some sleds into heated trailers, just so they would start. The food was great, and the company was awesome as usual!

Rod, you and your wife make the best jerky I have ever had!!!!!!!!

Got to see a moose, and was riding on the best trails I have ever been on!!!!!! THIS IS NO JOKE!!!!!

Glad to see everybody again, and put a name with some of the new faces.

Larry, what can I say,.........You had a hell of a week! SledderSteve has met his match........just kidding.

NOS, was fun riding with you guys ! Special thanks to Swiss Sledder for riding back to La Du Bonnet with me to get gas (dumb move on my part for not fillling up) Next year I will try to pick up the pace a bit as I was not sure how fast you guys wanted to go so i took it easy 8)

Same here Reaper, just call me Grim!!! We were together thru the whole ride.

The jerky is all Musher Mama's doing all I did was order the beef and grated the pepper on the hot stuff. I think the hot stuff was the most popular of the three different flavours Carol put together. She did another outstanding job on the jerky.

Thanks Brian for another great time. Every detail was looked after this ride right down to the trail passes we bought right at the hotel. We had the fast guys doing their thing and slow group doing theirs also. The people that wanted to get back to the hotel before dark were also guided back right to the hotel. We had sight seeing and lots of breaks for resting and shooting the breeze. Terry did'nt mention also that the parts needed to fix the sleds Brian made sure they got a great deal on them and then fixed the sleds for them after the ride so they could ride the next morning. What can I say other than Brian lives and breathes sledding and we are all very fortunate he rides Yamaha and is part of this site. I would also like to thank Brian, Margaret and I believe it is Don and Arlene for the superb deer sausage and Kubasa we all enjoyed cooked on an outdoor open fire hmmmm that sure hit the spot. We all had a great time and the last day was an easy very fun day that left us all refreshed for our long journeys home. Like I said the ride was very well done and Brian deserves the credit for that. I would also like to thank Bounty Hunter for his tail end sweeping making sure we all got home. Wilson for making sure the ones who wanted to get back before dark got there and cutting his riding short for the day to do it. last but not least Gary was there for us all again this year ready to take anyone back to the hotel if need be. To you all I say thank you for a very well organised and enjoyable sled holiday. In closing it was nice to meet and ride with all the people there and put a face to the names. Mr Sled thanks for ordering and getting the T shirts for us all they look great. Tom & Steve I almost forgot gathered up all the pictures from everyones camera's onto their laptops and burned CD's for those who wanted them. To everyone thanks for the great company and memorys. We had a blast!!!!!!!

Being the rabbit head that I am I forgot to mention and say Thanks to BVER FEVER for all the guiding and help he has done for these rides as well for the last two years. Sorry bud!

You are so correct Rod, if Brian wouldn't have called in the parts for Bounty to pick up, Dave would have never been able to ride Thursday.

Thank you Brian/SRXTwins for organizing the event. I really appreciate your help with my sled troubles. I would have been stuck for a while without your help. Thanks again.

BigGuy, BountyHunter, and Swiss Sledder, your helping hands made sled repairs quicker. Thank you!

Smokey, Swiss Sledder, SRXTwins, BVERFEVER, and Reaper, thank you for guiding us on unfamiliar trails and getting us to our destinations.

Thank you Sleddog and MusherMama for the jerky. Good stuff eh?

It was great to meet you all and make my week long vacation a fun one. I put on 1561 miles that were much easier up there than down here. Super conditions made this ride nothing less than great.

Tom, Terry, Dave i swear i did'nt know the border crossing was closed my sincerest apologies good thing you had that bag of jerky to get you through the extra long ride home. Bounty, Wilson, Gary thankyou so much for covering all our butts you guy's deserve medals for keeping us all together and making sure we all made it home safe.

I knew I had come upon the TY ride when I pulled up to the warm up shack and the lot was full of Yamahas.

Glad to hear you guys had a good ride.

Brian thanks a lot for letting me take your APEX for a rip I was really impressed with it.

Man you guys don't waste any time getting home, eh? Sled Dog it's Don and Elana, and we just brought the deer sausage, I think Brian and Margeret brought the kulbasa. It was great riding with the group, and would have been better had we stayed at the hotel, but when you live that close and have a kid that has to be off to school everyday, just can't happen. Now had it been spring break she'd have been hanging on the back, and might I say keeping up no problem. Big thanks to Brian and Magaret for getting everything organized.

Hello all, I had to install a new keyboard when i got home, but am up and running now! What can I say about Brian and his wife that hasn't already been said. Truly classy people, who even during a time of personal adversity, spent time and energy to setup and run a ride for we TY members. I said it and I meant it Brian, thank you can NEVER cover the effort YOU made to make my ride possible. Having Bounty run for parts, and his willingness to do it, taking us to your place and fixing my sled in record time, AWESOME!!! I believe a persons true colors show when faced with a difficult situation. Yours showed Brian, and without your's and Bounty's, my ride would have been very dissapointing. To everyone else, thanks for a wonderful experience. Seeing a moose on the trail, eating sausage cooked on an open fire, ALL the joking and goofing around, truly a good time. Wilson and Bounty both deserve a special thanks for riding sweep. Not an easy task with this group. I know this is long, but I hope it conveys my appreciation for the effort put forth. Hope to see you all next year.

Second year in a row it was the greatest ride for me to be on. Met some new people and enjoyed reuniting with the ones I met last year. As Turk said only 360 days to go.

Thanks to everyone for making TY Manitoba a fun place to be. Special thanks to Brian for starting it all and keeping it going.
