2025 May Monthly Newsletter

May 25th trail maintenance day

Next Trail Maintenance Day is May 25th. We always need volunteers for the trail maintenance days and highly encourage riders to come out and help. Trail days are typically the last Sunday of each month. We meet in the staging area around 9:30, organize into groups and then head out for around 10am. We rarely ride in to do trail work – we typically drive and hike in. Many locations will require a truck to get to. If you don’t have a 4×4/truck, you can always leave the car in staging and hop in with somebody else. Come prepared with proper clothing and footwear – the club will provide all the tools necessary.

MountainView Motorsports Trail Maintenance Day Sponsorship

MountainView Motorsports is sponsoring trail days providing up to 20 x $20 gift cards for all volunteers who come out to help. We welcome MountainView as a new sponsor! Also, all members get 15% off parts and gear at MountainView Motorsports. Bring this email to get your 15% off.

Wednesday evening trail work

Wednesday evening trail work parties continue. We meet at 5:30pm and work until it’s getting dark. Meeting location will vary but either the staging area or the McNutt gate. They’ll be announced on the Facebook Group. These work parties are a way of getting extra work done on the trails to prep them for the Route of All Evil Fun Ride in June.

Route of All Evil Fun Ride

The ROAE will be on Jun 22^nd this year. Online registration is open (https://bluemountainmotorcycleclub.com/store/) – we highly encourage people to register early so we know how much food we need for the BBQ and get an idea of how many (and what sizes of) t-shirts to order. Registering on the day of the event will mean you’ll have to stand there and fill out some forms and pay an extra $10.

Club/ROAE sponsorship

If your company (or you personally) is interested in sponsoring the club, please reach out to Rick Green, Clay Walker or Ryan Thom. There are several levels of sponsorship. Anything $250 or above gets your (company) name on the ROAE event shirt, mention on a sheet on the kiosks and on the website and a shout-out at the ROAE event.

Repairs to trails affected by the logging in 2023

Trails damaged in 2023 have been repaired in alignment with repair prescriptions set out by the BMMC trail committee. A big thank you to Tolsons, K&K, Chartwell, Probyn and One Trac for the work. This is why advocation and process is so important. We stuck to our guns and were successful in attaining the repairs at zero cost to BMMC.

Thank you to our volunteers and paid members

Thank you to those that bought memberships or came out to volunteer! We had a great turnout for the trail day – let’s keep up the momentum and continue to get solid attendance at the trail days. Come on out and help build the legacy that is Blue Mountain. If you do volunteer trail work (outside of regular Trail Maintenance days as time is tracked by the crew leaders), please log your time at: BMMC.ca/time
