We were nervous when there was no snow in early January… but looking back we had nothing to worry about. The winter of 2023 delivered some spectacular riding.
With the rain on the way we’ve decided to call it a season and look forward to riding dirt. We wanted to send out a huge thanks to everyone who made RVC’s winter riding memorable this year:
- Thanks to the shoe-to-ride army who anonymously made a point of breaking trail after every storm in Odell Park and the other trailheads that depend on deliberate foot traffic for riding.
- Thanks to Michel C. and Heather O. who always made sure there was a group ride that was fun and fresh every week.
- Thanks to the 161 Winterbike 2023 members and especially our 16 gold-level supporters – your money is what makes this all work!
- Most importantly, we want to thank Dan B., Andy M, Tim D., Jeremy M., Mike H., and Christian C. – who donated their time and effort to keeping the riding in Fredericton top-notch for the last 2 months. We did the math… and this team logged ~1,075 km of grooming this winter! So much thanks to you guys! We see you!
So, with the seasons in transition the next few weeks may still yield some great riding on the packed snow base as it melts out. Put your ice-spiker tires on! This year we don’t expect any trails to be open for dirt riding until May so look for RVC to launch our 2023 summer membership campaign then.
