Martin informed me that some of what was filmed today will be available for viewing on their website at www.snowmobilertv.com as early as next week, then again on TV in January for STV's first episode of the 08 season. Another special thanks to all lovely volunteer ladies over at the Long Sault Ridge Runners Club House, for the wonderful BBQ lunch afterwards :P Now for the pic's of this awesome team in action !

Also one more special thanks to the hikers that made our day, by thanking us for volunteering our time to create and maintain the wonderfull trails they hike on in the off season. (as it is a road allowance seasonal multi use trail) Very nice to hear something so positive from another group that also enjoys the trail. :D

Awsome pics Rick... I had a blast today and was glad i could help out.. i would also like to thank the Long Sault crew for a great BBQ... Looking forward to seeing the episode on STV and getting the chance to ride down that trail... Kev

Trail reroute
Yes there is nothing more rewording than riding down a piece of trail that you helped clear.

Gotta agree - great day out there, and great we can cooperate with other clubs and work together on these large projects. I'll also chime in with an extra thanks to Long Sault and there volunteers back at the clubhouse for hosting such an excellent lunch afterwards for us. Was great to see such a good turnout from our own club when it wasn't even our trail, its nice to see the word getting out and more and more volunteers stepping up to lend a hand !!

Good on ya Boys, looks rewarding. I'm clearing brush and covering rocks the old fashion way on the trail into the cottage. If there's any work left after freeze up I'll get my ass out there. Cheers Some of you Boys sure make them orange vests look small.
