A Community Driven Model for Sustainable Trail Maintenance
The NSMBA has created a plan to care for our trails.
We present this plan to DNV Council on Sept 17.
The objective of this plan, "A Community Driven Model for Sustainable Trail Maintenance", is to provide a structured and formal program of trail maintenance for our mountain trails. We believe a maintenance plan is integral in creating a sustainable future.
At 7:00pm on Monday, September 17th, Mathew Bond and Mark Wood of the NSMBA will be presenting this plan to District of North Vancouver council at 355 West Queens Road in North Vancouver to seek support through funding and partnership. Please join us at council chambers to voice your support. There is opportunity for Public Input as part of the agenda. Arrive early, sign up at 6:30pm for a 2 minute time slot to ensure your voice is heard.
Ongoing funding for trail maintenance is the first step in securing a world-class trail network for today and into our future.
Please sign our petition to show your support. If you are a District of North Vancouver resident, a hard copy of the petition will soon be available in your local bike shop.
NSMBA Toonie Race – Mt. Fromme Top to Bottom – September 1st, 2012
Mark your calendars! The next installment of the 2012 NSMBA Toonies is coming up on Saturday, September 1st. This is one of the longest courses of the year, starting just below 7th Secret, and following Leppard, Kirkford, Crinkum Crankum and Upper Griffen down the flank of Fromme before the final dash up King of the Shore to the water towers. View the course map here. We need course marshals and first aid volunteers for this event, so please contact us if you're available to help.
NSMBA Toonie Race – 7th, Pipeline, Baden Powell – August 4th, 2012
Early Saturday morning, volunteers and racers made their way up Fromme for the Toonie Race. At 10:00am sharp, racers were on the course with times ranging between 18 and 44 minutes. Thanks to Steed Cycles for keeping us company at registration, and Waves Coffee – Lynn Valley for getting the caffeine going early!
Mark Saturday, September 1st on your calanders for the next Toonie Race. We'll start again at 7th Secret, but stay on for the whole ride down Leppard, Krinkum Krankum, Upper Griffen and up KOTS to the water towers.
Ilana and Andrew, who have led the Toonies for the past two years, have just opened a coffee shop on Commerical Drive. We're looking for some extra help with the Toonies while they're away working to get their new business up on its feet. Please contact us if you are interested in continuing this awesome event!
