Next trail maintenance day is Dec 28

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, bring a snack and water – the club will provide all the tools necessary.

AGM results

The Annual General Meeting was held on Dec 4th. All the current executives were re-elected as follows: Ryan Thom as President, Rick Green as Vice President, Dave Sudul as Treasurer and Heather Green as Secretary. Clay Walker continues as a director at large.

Pack a hand saw

There are lots of trees down from the recent heavy winds. Pack a handsaw to clear what you can. Please do not ‘braid’ around downed trees. If it’s too big, suspended etc. and you can’t cut it or go over it, please turn around and go back, rather than riding around it. Anything too big for a handsaw, please report it (post on FB etc.)

New Partnership Agreement signed

The club’s Partnership Agreement with Rec Sites and Trails BC (RSTBC) expires at the end of this year, but the club has signed a new 5 year PA with RSTBC. This enables the club to continue doing what it does to keep the trails open, legal and rideable.

Skills Development Area

Crystal Levesque has been spearheading the development of a skills development area on Blue Mountain. Progress has been made, but will need a lot more work to complete. The concept is to have an area with logs, rock garden, jersey barriers etc. where riders can practice and hone their skills.

ORV Fund, ORCBC funding

The club will be applying for funding from both the ORV Fund and the ORCBC fund this year, seeking funding to perform much needed repairs of trails and bridges.

Volunteers needed

The club is always seeking volunteers to help on trail days, but we’re also seeking volunteers to assist at the annual Route of All Evil (date not set in stone yet, but likely June 21). We could also use somebody to promote and pack/ship club merchandise. We have a lot of merch, but only really sell it on one day per year (ROAE), and would like to get the merch out to more riders during the year. In the past we haven’t had the resources to do the shipping, so we haven’t sold the merch in the web store, but we’d like to change that and start selling online and shipping the merch.

Wet weather riding guide

Check out the wet weather riding guide on the website: www.blueMountainMotorcycleClub.com With the wet winter weather, it’s important to follow this guide to minimize damage to the trails. When it’s wet out, it’s much easier to do damage to the trails.

Thank you to our volunteers and paid members

The club has logged over 1800 volunteer hours so far in 2025. Come on out and help build the legacy that is Blue Mountain. If you do volunteer trail work outside of regular Trail Maintenance days (time is tracked by the crew leaders on trail days), please log your time at: BMMC.ca/time
