CTT and presumably Beech Hill are trackset and in excellent shape. Blue North, Blue South and trail from |Petrie’s Folly to Drop Off Ridge are all broken, in good shape with the usual soft pole track. Enjoy
late november skiing November 30, 2010
Still skiable in the big field at Beech Hill and along the Access Rd tho the latter is likely getting pretty packed down with vehicular traffic. Best time is below -2 degrees. Fast.

Kids Bike Rodeo June 14, 2010
Renaissance Sackville is sponsoring a bike rodeo at Marshview Middle School on Saturday June 19th from 9:00 AM to noon. We are looking for volunteers to help out with skill tests and handing out prizes. Mike’s Bikes will be on-site for any quick repairs. The RCMP are directing the skill tests, but we need help, as there are 8 different tests for each rider. Students from Marshview and Salem have been invited to attend.
There will be lots of prizes, so pass this on!
Thursday Evening Leisurely Rides May 4, 2010
A number of people have expressed interest to get together to bike at a leisurely speed for about an hour ride. The idea is, if you are available on any Thursday, come and join the gang. All welcome. Whoever is there at the starting time, bikes together. No commitment, no sending regrets; just show up.
Susan K-R (the organizer) will not be biking on any week that is raining.
Some people made no comment about the suggested 6 pm start; some wanted earlier; some later. And some suggested drinks at Bridge after. So, for the first week, Susan suggests a later start and we will see how that works.
Meet at Bridge Street Café at 6:45 pm. If good weather, first time out will be Thursday, May 6.
A number of people have some good ideas on what to call this Thursday biking habit – maybe we can decide that after the bike ride on Thursday. So, if you cannot bike Thursday but want to help pick a name, join us at the café after the ride.
If you know of anyone that wants to bike and does not have a bike, put the word out – there are probably second hand bikes around for sale.
See you Thursday at 6:45
Cycling – Sunday Rides April 10, 2010
Sunday road rides have returned for the 2010 season. We leave from the Bridge Street Café on Sundays at 10:00 AM. We start with about 30 km trips and gradually extend these as the season progresses and we wear off our winter fat

Skied from top of Mountview through Blueberry fields to ATV trail on Mahoney Rd and followed it to Ski Doo trail to Shelter and back via Pawer line. Lots of snow most places, especially along the trail perpindicular to the end of the Mountview Rd.

Magical today with glorious spring sun glistening through the ice encrusted branches, birds chirpingly praising the sun Godess, Peter M and Sandy B basking on the cabin deck dreaming of future TOC projects; Ain’t it great to be alive and in the woods…

Beautiful silken skiing today to green cabin, Petrie’s Folly, partway up Drop off until complete occlusion by bent branches after first hill-we cleared a bunch but Cyrus got tired and hungry(those extra 5 lbs were dropping him 2 ft with each step into the snow).

Lots of snow in the woods still. Pretty good skiing to the green cabin and on CTT tho not groomed for a while-you can always phone the Rec Dept 364-4955 and ask them to get Brett to groom-perhaps if they heard from a few different people they would realize I am not the only skier in Sackville. Am I?
