PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Our St. Clements trails have been open for more than 5 weeks. I'm told it may have been 8 years since our trails have been open that long in a season and its still snowing! Thank you to our Groomer Captain Darrell Sauder and the groomer operators for doing so much with so little snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Have to agree PLC. Turned out to be a excellent year in D9 and D5. Wow, i was skeptical at the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milverton just opened 3 weeks ago and st clements was still closed when I went over there to ride. Last week of January. I think you trailered to Atwood for a ride around that time too.

Well, our trailmaster asked me to open the gates of the horse field across the road on Friday Jan. 8th at 2:58PM and the groomer went past at 10:19PM to groom the last of the trails. I believe the Map changed to yellow for some of our trails by the following morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 St. Clements trails are all closed. If the weather predictions hold, we are probably done for the season. We had 7 awesome weeks of riding those trails this year. Thanks to the groomer operators, club volunteers and everyone that makes the rides possible! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s terrible. At least parking passes brought in abit of revenue. Maybe next year will be better with covid restrictions. Any wings on Friday you think?

Only track I seen off trail was yours to shed I think. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One, if the weather holds, what would we do with sledders in the parking lot? Two, if the weather doesn't hold then the parking lot will be a mess. Three, how many wings could we sell to make it worth while? I believe its been cancelled but I never heard anything official. 4 hours ago, Turbo Doo said: What a shame indeed.

Too community centre or plc’s man shed since it is right on trail. Hint hint! Be sad to see it go, but I guess all good things come to an end and things change.

Its been discussed but no decision has been made. the 2 most probable options are we will join the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club or we will go no where (give up our independent status and join the district as a chapter as most clubs have done in resent years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Anyone riding over milverton or listowel way. Some fresh snow blowing in that way it seems. I just went to Stratford and back and it was hard to see road at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
