Valentine Farms Bed & Breakfast, Chapleau, ON Bristol Off-roading Outfitters 6th Annual ATV Ride to Chapleau


Bristol Motel Off-Roading Outfitters Annual May ATV Ride to Chapleau.


This year's trip kicked off with a group breakfast at the Embassy Restaurant in Wawa on Saturday morning. The weekend forecast predicted beautiful weather all around!



The trails were a bit dusty due to the hot, dry weather we have been having,
but not a soul was complaining!



The beavers did a great job of flooding the trails in some spots. It was a blast to ride through!


We had a quick stop in at Halfway Haven before heading on to our final destination of the day.
Gail& Steve had this sign on the wall and we just had to take a picture! Ya know, for those times when "Towing is not an option!"



The weather was just excellent!! We had happy riders ...


and sexy boots ...


...and of course - the occasional tune up!! (He didn't know we were watching!)




At the end of a long day of riding, we finally reached the cozy comforts of our home away from home, Valentine Farms Bed & Breakfast!



We were having so much fun that even the cows made it in before us!




Ross Broomhead is the owner of this remodeled chicken coop and it sure does not look like it did when he was raising chickens and selling fresh eggs.



This cozy living room area is where we sat and relaxed after a wonderful spaghetti dinner courtesy of our trail guide's cook ... er... wife, Bonnie.



Our second day of riding started out a rider's breakfast prepared by our host, Ross Broomhead.



This is the kitchen Ross prepares his fantastic, full course breakfast every morning for his guests.



After filling our "gas tanks", we set out on another beautiful day of riding.


We enjoyed a great trail lunch next to the lake. It was very tempting to go for a dip!


Our adventure ended Sunday evening at Bristol Off-roading Outfitters Homestead in Goudreau, Ontario.

There we were treated to a home cooked dinner with a special surprise for one of our avid riders. (Every groom-to-be needs a bachelor party!)


This year was our 6th ride and we already have our 2011 ride booked with 20 new riders. Accommodations are limited so it looks like we will have 2 rides next year!



"I have my space booked for the 2026 season! Look out Grandpa Willy, here I come!!
