On Feb. 18, a pack of snowmobilers fired up their old Super Twins and sent it across the Ottawa River from Ontario, roaring into Quyon around mid-day. The 12th annual Old Sled Run and Vintage Snowmobile Show, as it is known, attracted 89 riders and machines from every conceivable era.
Participants started out in Constance Bay, Ont. with a fundraiser breakfast at the West Carleton Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, hosted by Ottawa Ward 5 Councillor Eli El-Chantiry. They then mounted their snowmobiles and headed for Gavan's Hotel.
