We have reports coming in that all local trails have been hit hard by the recent storm. They are all unrideable until the fallen trees can be removed.  For this Wed July26th, we will be working on the Northshore/Nordic trails.  People will be meeting at the Portage at 6:00PM, regular ride time.  We are in major need of  chainsaws.  The club is working on a program to provide gas, bar oil, two stroke oil, and possibly chain sharpening to all those volunteers who can help out.  Until further notice, plan on all Wed night to run as work nights. 

The club recently applied for, (thanks to Dave Henschel), and received a $500.00 IMBA Canadatrails grant.  This was to be applied to trail marking, banner for Wed night races, weed wacker, etc.  This may, if possible, be changed to suit the changed landscpae we are forced to work with. 

The site has been down for a few days as a result of the massive storm that hit the area on Monday.
The Wednesday night offroad race for this week is cancelled until we get a chance to cleaup and ensure that the course is safe.
Update: The Lost in the Rocks and Trees race has been cancelled/postponed for this Saturday July 22nd because of the severe damage to the trails and the Mattawa area. Check back on therace site for updates regarding this Saturday’s race.
