 Matinee

We have had great success with the showing of a Friday afternoon matinee. 

It is under consideration for 2023 but it may be last minute decisions for this year depending on how everyone is visiting after 2 years of hitatus!

​

Group Rides

All rides will have a pre-ride safety talk before you head out!  Please be 15 minutes early with a full tank of gas.

Thursday will offer 2 rides, one for street and one offroad.
  • Offroad - Aaron will be taking you on some back country trails up to the most breathtaking sights!  This will be open to even beginner off road riders so don't be shy if you want to try it out.  Ride leaves at 9:00am sharp!
  • Street - Randy will be planning a great route in the Kootenays.  As local, he knows some of the more untravelled spots!  Ride leaves at 9:30am sharp!

Our usual Friday group ride will take us on the amazing road between Kaslo and New Denver, the 31A.  Raid photographer Liam will be perched on a turn to take action shots of us creating a keepsake memory for a small fee.  Ride leaves at 9:30am.

​BE FUELD UP AND READY TO ROLL FOR EACH RIDE

Banquet

On Saturday night, in staying with tradition, The Adventure Hotel will host our annual banquet.  Registered participants will be treated to an amazing spread of food and dessert.  We will have many door prizes, some bigger prizes and trophies to give away.  The banquet has always been a highlight of the Raid and promises to continue to be!  Make sure you register early as seating is limited!  Cocktails at 6:00pm!

Charity

Every year we choose a deserving charity to support.  With the exception of the year that we supported the Southern Alberta Flood Relief efforts, we choose a charity that is Nelson based to show our appreciation for welcoming us into their city every year.  This year will be no exception.  There will be a donation jar at registration where participants are encouraged to thrown in $5 in support of a Nelson based charity.  You will get a Raid pin to keep for your minimum donation of $6!
