SIMBS Trail Maintenance - December 10th, 2006

Trail Maintenance this Sunday December 10th. 8:45 at Hartland parking lot.

We moved it up a week so you have more time to prepare for Christmas.

Please RSVP to Russ@simbs.com if you are coming so we have enough lunches from Willie’s.

The recent snow has knocked down a lot of trees in the park. We’ll do our best to clear the trails. If you have a bow saw, bring it along. We may also install a new bridge on Twister if we have enough bodies.

We hope to see you there!


SIMBS Introductory Ride - December 3, 2006 - Cancelled!

Due to the heavy snow fall accumulations on the trails, the
Introductory Ride is cancelled for December 3rd. Back to the regular
schedule in January!
