All trails are closed for the season, signs and stakes are coming down and gates are closed. Thank you to all of the club members who worked so hard getting ready for the season that never came. 
New maps are out and available at all of our local supporters, also be sure and get your NYSSA Super Raffle tickets. The club makes $2.50 on each ticket sold and this can be a very good fund raiser for the club. Our next meeting will be Wednesday September 12th 2012 7:30PM downstairs at the Lafayette VFW, hope to see you there! THINK SNOW!
Check out the new pictures of bridge work being done that are posted on our photo album and a big thanks to all who have worked so hard getting our trails and equipment ready for this season!

Another fall has come and gone and we are moving into hopefully a good winter season. One of the major projects that we have undertaken this Fall was the redecking of many of our bridges, this may of involved totally stripping the old deck boards or sometimes replacing just the bad boards. We have also added scab boards running the length of the bridges in a attempt save them from stud and carbide damage. PLEASE SLOW DOWN! when crossing a bridge and go down the middle where possible, not just for your safety but to help our bridges and our backs last a little longer. Ride Safe, Ride Right, and Every Hill is a Blind Hill!
