Have you always been curious about the fabled Bennett Cabin?
Would you like to make your first trip there with a larger group who know the way?
Perhaps you've been many times but would like to know that others appreciate this part of the Kawartha Nordic experience?
Join us on Saturday, February 29th for a group ski to the Bennett Cabin. A hot lunch and drinks will be provided at the cabin, so all you have to bring are your classic skis and personal gear.
Meet us at the main parking lot at 9:00 a.m. or at the Bennett trailhead at the top of Trillium at 9:45 a.m. and be prepared for an all-day ski (20km round trip).
This year's Double Double is on Sunday, March 1 (or Medium Regular or whatever you make it). Come on out!
Be sure to sign-up when you arrive in the lower level of the Woodfine chalet (no cost)
Congratulations to all our competitors and thank you to the great volunteers that made this event possible.
