2026 April Monthly Newsletter

Next trail maintenance day is Apr 26

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.

Wednesday evening trail work is back on!

We’ve started up the Wednesday evening trail work again. Every Wednesday evening until the Route of All Evil June 21^st. We need to get a lot of trail work done before the ROAE, so, like in the past, we’ve started the Wed evening trail work parties for this year. Details (time and meeting place) will be posted on the Facebook page (usually meet 5-5:30 at the McNutt gate.)

Please don’t remove signage

Removing one-way trail signs and then riding up that trail doesn’t make it right, even if you hide the signs. Please respect the trail signage and only ride one-way trails the designated direction.

ORCBC raffle

Our friends at the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC are raffling off a 4-day RV rental from Fraserway RV and a $200 gas voucher from Canco Gas in Abbotsford. Get your tickets by April 30 for your chance to win: https://orcbc.rafflenexus.com/a/q54kizfcpa.

Cutting back deadfall

If cutting back deadfall from a trail, please cut it far back from the trail. Often good intentioned riders will cut back deadfall, but leave a portion sticking out onto the trail, which is very dangerous. If it’s a larger tree (particularly Cedar), try to cut it into 4 foot sections, so those sections can possibly be used for bridge planks.

ROAE/club sponsors

We’re always looking for club sponsors. Sponsorship can be cash, tools for trail work, or items to be given away at the ROAE. There are 3 tiers of sponsorship – Silver = $250, Gold = $500, Platinum = $1000. Contact the club for more information.

Thank you to our volunteers and paid members

Thank you to the volunteers and paid members. 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
