Adjusted North Side status based on Facebook updates.

Great work! Thanks! FYI: I call the section from Bompass to Snake Head "Son of a Gun" (Kevin came up with the name). Then the section from SOG to Little Depot (Bartaw) is McGone (and I think of the hill climb as McGone Climb).

The snowmobile trail behind the village is clear to the intersection of the Hwy 508 . ( we did not go to the pit ) We crossed east of the Eagle Nest parking lot , trees down along the double track (back way ) to Transec Entered Tran-sec , trees down requires a chainsaw to clear. We did not enter...

A couple of us were out clearing today. We cleared Raven's Roost, most of Straddlebug Climb. We started on Screw-U Extension (climb) but it is blocked with at least 2 big oak trees. Straddlebug Climb needs a chainsaw at the creek crossing to cut a tree that you can get under.

I will be publishing rides for the south-side (possibly north-side as well). Probably won't be starting until May. My rides are usually intermediate/advanced level. They are usually around 80km-100km and start from the Highlands Golf Club (HGC) parking area between 9:30 and 10:00. I will try...

Heal quick Gord! Undoubtedly a hard decision to make, but I've known a couple of busted up bikers who probably should have made the same decision. Next year will mark 58 years since I slung a leg over a bike. I've taken it down a notch every decade or so since turning 40 and I'm going to have...

New trees down on Red Horse near the boat launch. Aug. 6th.

I am posting this for a buddy. He has a brand new 1000LB Bike Lift (he's a Harley guy ;-) still in the crate which he is taking offers on. He paid $800. The photo included the Princess Auto SKU so you can look it up. He also has 2 Pingel Wheel Chocks in the boxes and he wants $50 each. If you...

Riding from the HGC Monday 10th. See the fall colors from the top of Snake Head! I'll be arriving around 9:00. Targeting 9:30 RTR.

There is a BMA ride on Sunday the 2nd. You can sign up from the event page on bma1.ca

I have opened this up to track last minute required chainsaw work for the Boogie. If you come across new fallen trees on Boogie route post a reply with details and I will add it below. We will try to organize special clearing parties, so that all crews do not have to carry chainsaws as they...
