Hey Smoke,

Thanks for passing this on. I see the petition has over 3000 people now! Pretty good, but there must be lots more people out there who agree it is wrong-headed to increase taxes on such a environmentally friendly and healthy way to get around??

Comment on FOSS Project – Minimal Risk Corridor Clearing in Myra Bellevue Park by Chuck

That is great news. I have been concerned about this for a while. It will make it easier for everyone – bikers, hikers, and especially those who have to clear the trail regularly.

Comment on MTBco & FOSS Re Route Captain Nemo (Crawford) by Penny Gubbels, FOSS

To all the MTBco volunteers that worked with FOSS Director Brad Wright on Nov. 8 – THANKS! The Captain Nemo Trail Realignment project is well underway. Between FOSS, Fortis, and MTBco volunteers, 102 hours have been spent planning, flagging, brushing, and now building this section of trail. Next spring, when weather permits, FOSS will complete the project and open the trail.

In August, FOSS hired a contractor who used a small dozer to repair eroded sections on lower Captain Nemo, and numerous sections of Lost Lake Trail and Fireweed. We really appreciate the ongoing support of MTBco – we all benefit from trail improvement projects.

FYI, FOSS has hired a forestry contractor who will be working on Lost Lake Trail in Myra-Bellevue over the next few weeks. Standing burned trees that may fall on the trail will be felled. The scope of the project is from the SRE Trailhead to just south of the junction of Lost Lake Trail and Lost Lake Loop (basically, the ‘burn’ area of Lost Lake Trail). When the fallers are on site, sections of the trail will be closed to the public. The contractor has authorization to use motorized vehicles in the park. Please obey all posted closures and find an alternate trail when work is in progress. FOSS purpose in funding this project is to provide the public with a ‘minimal risk corridor’ you can head for if the wind comes up when you are in the park. As Lost Lake Trail is the major double track in the park, it was chosen for this project.

Steve,

Sorry for the late reply on this. Feel free to drop me a line from time to time and we’ll have you out at our fall meeting. The club was slammed busy all spring but we scale it back in the summer to get a break. Email me at mike@mtbco.ca

Cheers,

Mike K.

OK, If you do the “Supporter insurance” do you pay 10 dollars for insurance + 10 dollars for the event?
