The SMH crew was busy today, trying to minimize the hop in Rockhopper. We have opened a re-route trail (see image) on the Northwest part of the trail, as this section has eroded to be a technical nightmare for some. The re-route and the old trail will both remain open, so you can pick your poison.

We also install another 2 maps, (2 remaining), and a load of GA has been deposited at the fste to be used at the skills are. We worked to move some today. We have permission from the city to use machinery to help us move this dirt.

No trailday next weekend and it will be OMBA Day - SMH. 9am-1pm. Hope to see you there!

Our community survey is running the whole month of August - there’s still 2 weeks left to share your thoughts!

Thank you to everyone who has already participated! We’ve received lots of feedback from current OMBA members, but we would like to hear more from non-members to help us better understand how we can grow our membership. Your feedback would help us understand what we’re doing well, and where we could improve.

Everyone’s feedback is appreciated! If you haven’t filled out the survey yet, please take a moment to share your thoughts:

The SMH crew was out battling the bugs and heat to put a dent in a few tasks.

1) the trail maps are being installed. More than half are in place with the remainder to be finished ASAP.

2) regular maintenance on Kevin's skills area, off Klondike.

3) a trail reroute has been added to Bear tree, between Brady and Coconut, where the trail went near the lake. We will return next weekend to renaturalize the old trail.

Dites-nous ce que vous en pensez ! Nous menons actuellement un sondage auprès de la communauté de vélo de montagne afin de mieux comprendre ses besoins, ainsi que pour évaluer ce que nous faisons bien et les aspects que nous pourrions améliorer. SVP prendre quelques minutes pour le remplir. Le sondage est ouvert jusqu’au 31 août 2026.

Small SMH crew this weekend but we branched out and got several items finished on our list.

1) Rockhopper, both dogsled directions, PWT and Klondike all have had foliage cut back to improve sightlines.

2) We began prepping the signs for installation. We hope to have them installed in the coming weeks.

3) Kevin was busy once again clearing the skills area. We now have permission from the city to use a lawn mower to maintain this area, until we can get a load of wood chips to cover the non riding areas.

4) The beaver deceivers have finished their bafflers installations and we got a few photos of their hard work.
