We hosted this event for the first time in 2022 and repeated it in 2023. By popular demand the Lumsden – Qu’Appelle Valley Tour was repeated again in 2025!

Lumsden-Qu’Appelle Information
Participants may do 1 or 2 days of riding and are free to turn around at any point and return. It is not necessary to do the entire ride. Options are to do 50 km or 100 km distance.
Some may wish to drive in on Friday evening with accommodation overnight so as to be all set to go for the Saturday ride start at the Lumsden Museum, and some may choose to drive in from Saskatoon very early on Saturday morning (~2.5 hour drive, 230 km).
