These are the official plans as of right now. However, I reserve the right to change them slightly as we get closer, especially if it confuses Nutter.

Really not that hard (sorry Nutter too easy too funny)

Just a reminder that in addition to the planned PET Events there are a couple of other thigs going on in town for those that may not be participating in our actual ride.

All weekend, there are 12+ Chainsaw carvers that will be showing their talents in the Gravenhurst Canadian Tire parking lot at the south end of town.

This event is also sponsored by Snowcrest Riders. The owner of this company is also a supporter of Snowcrest Riders.

They are amazing at what they can do with a chainsaw. Life size bear carvings and many many more.

Also there are 8 maintained ice rinks in front of Boston Pizza that will be available for our sledders to use if they wish to bring their ice skates and maybe stop in at BP for some food and refreshments.

This weekend is shaping up nicely folks let the countdown begin!

The Prostate Extreme Team would like to thank all our great supporters for all their support over the years, we have a great event planned for you and we look forward to seeing you for another great weekend of fundraising and Prostate Cancer Awareness!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to say it was an absolute honor to be the host Club for the PET Sled Ride of Hope 2012. What a fantastic, fun loving family you all are. I hope everyone had a good time, and thank you so much EVERYONE for coming to Gravenhurst. I would like to thank Steve Hutton and the PET crew for allowing this ride to come to the home of Snowcrest Riders Snowmobile Club. To Jonathon Massey from the Residence Inn Marriott - to say you and your staff were TOP NOTCH is an understatement! It was awesome to work with both of you over the last many months and the professional you provided towards this event was much appreciated.

Special thanks must also go out to all of our sponsors, as well as Phil, Mike and Eric from Snowmobiler TV. As far as I know, this ride broke a PET Sled Ride of Hope record for monies raised for this most worthy cause. I received many compliments on our trail conditions. I will pass this on to our groomer operators who worked so hard to be able to provide the best possible conditions with the little snow that they had to work with. Thank you to the many Snowcrest Riders volunteers who worked hard to get the trails prepped for our groomer operators, and thank you to the ride leaders and sweepers. Thank you to Sandi at the Snowcrest office for the support you gave to Steve, Jonathon, and myself, over the many months of planning this event.

Steve, Jonathon, and myself have already started discussions for next years ride. I am thrilled that Snowcrest Riders Snowmobile Club has been chosen as the host Club for the PET Sled Ride of Hope 2013.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. See everyone again in 2013!!!

Bob Clarke

President - Snowcrest Riders Snowmobile Club

I apologize for the long delay in updating all of you but my business has been crazy busy, I'm not complaining believe me it just makes it hard to get the Charity stuff done at times..

I am pleased to announce that we have reached our goal of 20 Thousand for Wellspring

We had some expected cheques come in from sponsors and also some last minute pledge money which vaulted us over our goal, thanks Red.

I want to give a special thank you to the http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/yqari-residence-inn-gravenhurst-muskoka-wharf/?toDate=2/18/13&groupCode=petpeta&fromDate=2/15/13&app=resvlink"]link[/url] to reserve your room.
