MTBco

Thank these people/groups when you see them:

• Ken Tucker  (local trail building hero)
  
• Brant  Lyon  (local builder/MTBco director)
  
• Andrew Mc Intosh (local builder/MTBco director)
  
• BC Parks local ranger, Erin Gunoff
• Various FOSS members/directors

These People spent their Sunday (and many other days for Ken!) this long weekend working hard in the heat and smoke to clear dead fall in Crawford (Myra Bellevue). They did this to help all riders who enjoy the park. Everyone who has been to the park recently has been disappointed to find an unbelievable amount of trees down after recent wind/thunderstorms.

BC Parks Senior Ranger, Erin Gunoff put out the request to MTBco for help with the clearing. MTBco’s certified operators answered the call and spent Sunday, August 1st clearing with Erin. It may not be all clear on all trails but it’s now way better than it was. More trees will fall so it will take more clearing days of course, so again, remember to thank these people when you see them (if you  know them!) or just remember to not whine too much about the condition of the park after storms…BC Parks knows we all want the trails clear and they, with MTBco and FOSS’s help (and of course the chain saw fairies) are doing their best !

‘A big thank you should go out to Andrew, Brant, and Ken for their amazing work today (and Ken’s work for the last few days). Trails were clear, and cut to standard. It was a hot one out there today. Bikers, hikers and horse-riders in the park today were amazed and impressed, as was I. Great job! ‘
