Hiking Accident Claims SIMBS Trail Builder Gordon Clay
I am sorry to announce that SIMBS member and trail builder, Gordon Clay has died in a
hiking accident in Goldstream Park. Gordon was a strong and vibrant member of SIMBS and in
particular, the Trail Maintenance Team, where he commited hundreds of hours every year into
designing, building and maintaining the trails we are fortunate to ride on. Gord's most
recent contribution is the new trail called Mind Bender. The board of directors of SIMBS
wish to express our heartfelt condolences to Gordon's family and friends.
