Not a group doing the work the gate install and brushing was two people.

Our club like most has at best seven people that do the work. This includes executive and groomer operators, we have 120 km of trail and 80 plus Landowners . 

We have made a request locally for help for this weekend to strop a 48 ft bridge and redeck it. 

If no extra help comes that trail maybe closed as the bridge is unusable as is. 

Our sport will not survive if people don't come out and help.

Years ago, in my subdivision, a guy was installing a pool and the contractor came across a rock about that size buried in the back yard, cost the homeowner about $6000 to get it lifted out with equipment that about that same size, or perhaps bigger.. Rock now sits on his front lawn, since he paid $6K for it. :-)

And thank you for the trail work. Being from Ottawa, I do ride some of your trails over the course of the winter.

More work getting done this weekend.  A 48ft bridge on srsr trail 119 ( eganville to pembroke)had its top deck removed. A new deck will go on Saturday September 25th. 

Thanks to Tom our head of trails for organizing also a big thank you to Zach Plotz tree service for the truck and dump trailer at no charge to hall the old deck away and to the other three volunteers that came out .

The Eganville Sno-Drifters is now only involved with trails.

Do to insurance and other reasons the club had to split. There is now a entity called Bonnechere Cup who will run races. We are still in negotiations with a third party who will take over property and will allow the groomer to park at the same place and race group to continue races.

Thanks for the update. 

 

When I was looking online....this was the address:

 

 BONNECHERE CUP - OVAL TRACK ADDRESS
675 SNODRIFTERS ROAD
EGANVILLE, ON.
CANADA
K0J 1T0

 

You  know that a snowmobile club has community roots when there's a road named after them.

 

Thanks again for your incredible trails. Well signed, as I recall.

Amazing work everyone!

 

Seriously incredible to see what people are able to get done and make this all happen.

 

I am interested to see how things go in our area as  A LOT of property with trails going through appear to have changed ownership - fingers crossed new owners are "normal" and trails continue - if not - could really suck for us.

Spent this morning doing some signage improvements and putting in field markers.

Out with the old tired destination signage in with the new.

Expensive though I found a old steel fence post with my chainsaw and broke a chain cutting brush.

First pic is the old tired signage.
