The frosty mornings we have had helped a lot. Great job thank-you! How many km’s of trail do you look after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to track up the farm fields and cake the Ranger in mud . But l probably will . I see the old orders are spreading sh!t stakes are vulnerable 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t known for snow until January it seems. 2021 we rode from Jan 15th until March 6. It was steady that year. Hoping for another like it 😎 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldfinger Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 The south is muddy. Can't finish trail set up until we get a good frost . We need to use the tractor to clear all the dead ash blow downs . Difficult planning a day to get out with this mild weather and all the Christmas festivities . Not fun operating a chainsaw hung over . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fun operating a chainsaw hung over . No hurry by the look of the forecast. We finished up St. Clements trail set up on Wednesday morning when the ground was stiff and only have some plowing that needs levelling but that's another story. We don't have a lot of bush on our trails so blowdowns weren't an issue but Brad did a lot of brushing along the way as the trails were being set up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldfinger Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 PLC Has your club remained a Club or has it become a chapter? Bridgeport became a chapter , l understand why they went in this direction for admin purposes . However any equipment needed to set up the trails and maintain them all comes from the volunteers Bridgeport owns nothing. I had no problem with this arrangement when the riding season was more than a few weeks .Now starting too feel less generous . I consider you a expert in this area , any thoughts . Merry Christmas .

Our club is apparently starting into the process of becoming a chapter for exactly the reason you mentioned. The OFSC in their wisdom?? has chosen to download more and more paperwork responsibilities onto the clubs at a time when it is already hard to retain volunteers. The club will be getting rid of any assets left over from the loss of the clubhouse and will no longer be incorporated. If anyone needs commercial kitchen equipment, we have it for sale. Their are polesaws etc. still available for the local clubs' use that are kept at Sauders in Wallenstein. Its basically equipment that the GTSA had before it folded. I understand that some of the clubs in other areas of the District have already been renting whatever they need for trail install from local sources. I'm lead to believe that if executed properly many times these costs can be funded through the District. Merry Christmas to you coldfinger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 We closed our trails yesterday in Gravenhurst, things went south pretty quick yesterday with the warm weather and the rain last night and another warm day today, doubtful they will reopen again but who knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I pulled stakes and signs at the road crossing on our place today. They came out way to easy for Feb. 22nd. I wouldn't mind if I had to put them back in but.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
