XC Trail Work Evening Complete…

Posted by RevyBiker. No Comments

This Wednesday was the first ever RCA night trail party.  Members got together to work on a small section of Hemlock Grove.  It took the effort of 8 people to remove organic, rock fill and roughly manicure a 10-meter section to solve recurring drainage issues.  Thank you to the volunteers for their time and for a fun night! On your next bike ride, go check-out the fixed-up section!

On the next Wednesday Trail Maintenance Night (may 30th), we will tackle the lower section of Stimulus, which may very much involve rockwork, infill and potential expansion of the existing cedar bridge. Stay tuned for more information.  The next Trail Maintenance Day is schedule for May 26th should you like to take part in a half day worth of work.

Posted by RevyBiker. No Comments

Wednesday Night Racing presented by Arrow Helicopters continues with the second race of the series next week on May 23rd. Since the days are getting longer the race start will now be at 7 pm but as usual come 30 minutes early to register. If you participated in the first race don’t forget to bring you number plate if you still have it.

If you like climbing you’ll love this course! With two tough climbs per lap your quads will be quivering. Of course everything that goes up must come down and descents down Berm Donor and Dusty Beaver will be your reward for all the uphill suffering. Specific course details and map are now posted online.   See you all next Wednesday!  CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS AND COURSE MAP

XC Trail Work Evening This Wednesday!

Posted by RevyBiker. No Comments

Hi All,  Hope you are well and have been enjoying the trails!   This Wed. will be our first trail work night. The project will be fixing the corner on the lower part of Hemlock Groove. The idea is not to make it into a fast easy berm but to add good drainage to the trail!  So anyone interested, please see the details below.   Whether it’s your first time working on trails or have an experience, this will be a great social way to work on a small section of our amazing trails. Please feel free to contact Melanie Bernier at melaniebernier1@gmail.com for additional information. See you wednesday! 

Where:  Meet at the Begbie Falls Parking Lot at the start of Begbie Falls Rd

When:   6 pm till 8 ish

What:  Either fix the lower berm at the bottom of the trail as a team or pair up to address some of the muddy bits a bit higher up! 
What To Bring:  Work gloves, waterproof shoes, drinking water and a big smile!
