Great news from the Snowmobile Hall of Fame that the 2026 "Ride With The Champs" will be held on February 13 and February 14, 2026!!
Also, it will be the "Year of the Deere" honoring the 50th Anniversary of Brian Nelson's 1976 victory on a John Deere Liquidator in the Winnipeg-St. Paul I-500. Hopefully a large contingent of John Deere racers can attend including many ETD members.
Friday will offer a John Deere Reunion ride followed by the Friday Night Fish Fry featuring ETD members. Saturday will offer several rides and of course on Saturday evening the annual Induction Banquet.
And if that is not enough, if weather and trail conditions allow it, there will likely be a crew arriving on Monday of that week to get the party going!
We are already talking about a ride up to Lake Gogebic possibly on Wednesday, and a Bogie Bash on Thursday.
Some years ago now, I told Jon Carlson we were going to make this an all week event, and we are trying. Come with your sleds prepped and ready to ride!
