Bike Path through the Village 4-6-10

The meeting with the Village went well, thanks to Christopher Burns for creating an excellent presentation for the Village Board and thanks to the Village Board for hearing us. 

The Village agreed to investigate the possibility of a marked trail using the Bike Path to Rte 250 in the village.  This would entail gaining landowner permissions and a place to cross Ridge Rd west of Salt and hooking back into our trails near Salt and State Rd.

We will be busy re-routing Whitney Rd this summer and fall as a priority, if a trail to the village becomes a possibility we will need help with landowner permissions and hopefully trail breaking.

A groomed and marked trail to the village with a place to park and patronize village businesses would be good for Webster and for snowmobiling.

Please send in to our PO box any sold NYSSA Raffle tickets.  Make checks payable to the Webster Ridge Runners.

4-6-2010- We are moving into the 2010-2011 season with some great accomplishments past us, but many more feats to overcome moving forward! We have sold our oldest groomer, leaving the club with our newly purchased 1994 BR-160 for our Eastern trails and our 1997 Track-Truck for the Western edge.  We are in the process of looking for a replacement mid-sized machine that would round our groomer fleet (may or may not happen in the coming season). Currently, we would need to do a significant fundraiser to make this happen. If anyone is interested or has any ideas for a fundraiser, please let us know!

We have also entered into an agreement with a club member and landowner on Arbor Rd. to erect a three-sided groomer storage facility.  This will house our BR-160 and associated equipment. We have purchased the materials and will be looking for volunteers for the construction in mid-May.  This obviously does not come without a cost to club, and we will be asking for contributions in the near future. We would like to thank Gavin Stoutenburg to date for his assistance with the lumber.

We also have a few off-season repairs to make and need to start to build an inventory of spare parts. With only a few weeks of snow, every day we are waiting on parts is a day the trails are not groomed.  Please keep all of the above in mind when the next fundraising campaign happens.

Thanks!
