Maybe it's just me but when I am out sledding I have no desire to have a beer while out riding, once back at the hotel, different story lol, To each their own I guess, It is frustrating to see empty cans all over on the trails though.

I agree with both of you. My feeling is that things can happen too fast on the trails with unwanted results, without anything to dampen reaction time. I might be a 'lightweight' when it comes to drinking, but I feel that any impairment is too much on the trails, or roads for that matter. My feeling is that someone drinking on the trails does not only affect them, it also affects me. Either by jeopardizing my safety, or, God forbid, by ruining my trip by having to deal with the consequences after the fact. JMO.

To each his own. We've been with visiting riders who will haul a pop out of the saddlebags when we stop on the trail, but it's not something I feel comfortable with. I really don't understand why it's acceptable. I get that people are on "holidays" but I go on long road trips in the family vehicle and having a drink enroute just doesn't enter the picture.

On our trip into Quebec this year on the free weekend, we followed a group from Ontario, and AT EVERY possible stop they were drinking like fish. We even seen them one morning drinking at 10am. Just another disregard for others safety, and disrespect for landowners etc.. Such a shame..

On my last Canyon trip I wasn't in a rush, so I stopped and puck up every empty beer can I saw on trail, by the end of my day I have 37 cans in my bag. What's a shame! I'm pretty sure no people on this forum who ever left garbage on trail. Let's keep our land clean!!!

I have never understood people who can carry full beers but can't carry home an empty. Perhaps they are afraid of them being found if they are stopped by the OPP, but otherwise its just pure laziness. I pickup a bunch on my cottage road every fall after hunting season. I really don't care if you have a beer for lunch, but what makes you think its OK to litter.

x2 . Enjoy the apés ride cocktails. This really disturbs me....have trained almost 100 kids in the last two years...and I'm sending them out on the trails with these idiots. Having a real conflict of conscience.

The considerate drinkers will at least leave their empties in the warm-up shacks, where it's easy for the volunteers to collect and return for refund. It's called "fundraising"....

A beer (or 2) at lunch, with a meal, is not a problem for me.

The existing trail isn't in question. This is a new route that would go downtown. It would be a great addition to what already exists.

The RAP tour doesnt pass thru Pembroke. When we did it in '13 we turned 'north' west of the city & headed towards Petawawa.

This is just over an hours drive away for me. I got to ride through there a couple of times this season and was laughing as I blasted up some of the best tight twisty hills around. I think I'll head down to their meeting and volunteer to at least help with their trails.

I took down stakes two weeks ago found 5 cans and our trails where only open for two days very frustrating
