Please note that the primary gun season for deer this year runs Nov. 7 to Nov. 20 inclusive in all of Eastern Ontario. It is BMA policy (it's in the code of ethics) to stay out of the bush for this period and leave the hunters in peace. It might also be a good idea to avoid Nov. 5-6 also as...

Is anyone available Sunday morning to help clean up some Limerick trails? I want to get some more work done before the Family Ride next weekend but time is growing short and desperation is setting in.

Is there anyone out there that, like me, works weekends and gets days off through the week? Could use some help in Limerick Wed. May 11 to do some trail work. Please PM or respond on this thread.

Just received a note from Limerick Forest Manager Geoff McVey that the Forest is now closed to motorized use for the spring thaw period. This is standard procedure to let the frost come out and let the soil dry up some. Please observe and obey this closure; those who don't not only give us a bad...

Limerick Forest Open House is happening on Oct. 3 11a.m.-4 p.m. this year. This is a very family oriented event with lots to do with the kids including wagon rides, a raptor display and some interesting hiking (ONLY!) trails. Stop by for the free BBQ and say hello to Larry and Ken H. at the...

Anyone out there available for a Tuesday ride? My only day off and I want to roost. Experienced (mostly) trail guide so can do Calabogie or Limerick; your choice. Would prefer intermediate level partners. PM me or e-mail eastmanspearman (at) yahoo (dot)ca

I have been advised by Limerick Forest Manager Geoff McVey that the Forest will be closed to motorized users tomorrow (March 12) until further notice. This is an annual event with the intent of letting the frost come out and the trails dry up some to prevent excessive rutting. I know all this...

A BMA general meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 13 at the Red Dot in Osgoode. Meeting time is 7 p.m. so come earlier for food, drinks and merriment ( and possibly a song from PM Harper?). Preliminary agenda available upon request. Please plan to attend as this may be our last general...

In case you hadn't noticed our spring club trail ride is fast approaching but, it seems, some new members are being scared off by the "no beginners please" note for the ride in the Events section therefore a clarification seems timely. A beginner is someone who just learned to ride a few weeks...

I would like to take a small crew into Limerick this Friday May 1 to clear a trail that is currently plugged up due to thinning operations. There is a lot more to do but.....one step at a time. I can be at Limerick by 3 p.m. so if you can lend a hand PM me or e-mail eastmanspearman (at) yahoo...

Just got a note from Limerick Forest Manager Geoff McVey that Limerick is now closed to motorized usage until further notice. Don't panic; this is just the normal seasonal closure to let the frost come out and dry the Forest up a bit. The signs are up so PLEASE RESPECT THIS CLOSURE! It is...

Hi folks. The first warmish days of the new year signal that the summer riding season isn't all that far away and......it's AGM time. The date this year is March 29th at the usual location; the Kemptville Snowmobile Klubhouse (I bumped the map up on this forum for those that haven't attended...

Whoops; seems my previous post on this topic was incorrect (things can change quickly). This Sunday will NOT be a points paying race. Instead it will be an opened tuning/setup/practice day. Woody asked me to convey his apologies about this state of affairs. He had to battle a large amount of...

Woody just called me and he is having equipment problems therefore WE WILL BE GOING TO JAMIE'S INSTEAD OF WOODY'S ON SUNDAY JAN 11. This means that the first four races on the schedule will look like this to avoid back-to-back races at the same venue: Jamie's Jan. 11...

Talked to Jamie earlier today and he is reasonably sure that he can host a practice/tuning day this Sunday. I asked him to put up a post tomorrow to confirm since I'm unavailable. So watch this forum for updates. Also talked to Woody and his track is not ready as his plow truck is still in the...

Just wanted to pass on some info regarding ice racing this season after a good discussion last week at the organizational meeting (thanx again to the Goodtime Centre for hosting). Safety: as usual front and rear tire guards along with a full length spine protector are MANDATORY. New this year is...

Got a call from Jocko's in Calabogie indicating that the two bedroom chalet has become available for the Boogie weekend. It seems accommodations for that weekend are in short supply due to an event at the racetrack so........
