Michael's Active Recovery: Ryde with Mike

  TBA

   Sly Brook Sno Club

Before Michael passed away in early August of 2023, he was home with his family in Maine for four days. When he was home, he promised his little brother that he would return for February vacation, and they would ride a snowmobile, particularly to Deboullie Mountain. Deboullie was one of Michael’s favorite places to go on his snowmobile. He loved the climb, the view, and the peacefulness. In his memory, we ride to the base of the mountain, have a meal, have speakers sharing stories of recovery, and have fun! Stay tuned for details on “Ryde with Mike” for February 2025.
