Description
The EOTB will gather at Black Donald Tent and Trailer park to meet with good friends and enjoy a few days of wheeling as we near the end of the wheeling season. While the air will be cooler, and the nights a little crisper, we will warm our hands and feet by the camp fire and warm our hearts with friendly conversation and maybe a few laughs.
As we typically have a smaller group for this event, only one trail is usually run, and tends to be moderate to challenging.

This late season event is an overnight camping event. Given the time of year, snow is certainly not out of question and we are camping at the top of a mountain with little wind cover, so plan for cold weather camping!
Last year, due to a forecast of freezing rain that would have made the trail treacherous, this event was canceled. In the event of another unfavourable forecast, the rain date will be November 30th.
