My best adventure: Win a guided quad tour for two with Woodridge Quad Adventures
Life is full of adventures — from the everyday surprises to the unforgettable stories we carry with us. Now, CHVN wants to hear your story in our brand-new contest, My Best Adventure, sponsored by Woodridge Quad Adventures. Listeners can enter simply by texting the word ADVENTURE to the Shine Dental Talk & Text Line and sharing their best adventure story. At the end of the week, one lucky storyteller will win a guided quad adventure for two with Woodridge Quad Adventures, a thrilling escape into Manitoba’s wilderness. About Woodridge Quad Adventures Located in the small but beautiful town of Woodridge, southeast of Steinbach, Woodridge Quad Adventures was built on a love of the outdoors and a passion for adventure. Manager Susan Hutchinson says the business began after years of demand from locals and visitors who wanted to explore the area’s legendary quad trails. Today, riders can enjoy some of the best trails in Manitoba on top-quality Yamaha and Can-Am quads. The most popular tour runs about three hours and takes guests past sparkling lakes, over beaver dams, and through the Bedford Hills. Along the way, it’s not unusual to spot wildlife — everything from deer and turtles to the occasional bear with cubs. “It’s like you’re warped right into cabin country,” Hutchinson explains. “The trails here are second to none, and every season has its own beauty.” More Than Just a Ride What sets Woodridge Quad Adventures apart is their commitment to creating memorable experiences for everyone. Whether it’s grandparents riding with their grandkids, a wedding gift that replaces a candy dish, or even team-building outings for businesses, every group leaves with smiles, and often a lot of mud! “We thought it would be mostly groups of guys,” Hutchinson laughs. “But we’ve had bachelorette parties, families, and even women in their seventies and eighties coming out. Everyone has fun.” Hutchinson says the rides are great for team building events, and also make great gifts, adding that autumn is a great time to see the trails. Safety is always a top priority. Every rider is provided with helmets, gloves, and goggles, and tours are led by experienced guides. Quads are kept in top condition, and Susan’s husband, who leads the adventures, is a firefighter with full first aid and CPR training. On top of that, Woodridge Quad Adventures adds special touches: snacks and cold drinks halfway through the ride, warm face cloths when guests return, and even cozy overnight packages with nearby cottages. “We try to exceed everyone’s expectations,” Hutchinson says. Enter the Contest Now, you could experience all this for yourself. Just text ADVENTURE to the Shine Dental Talk & Text Line and share your best adventure story.
