Hey Riders,
Last week we released our big master plan for Woolastook park. This week, the plan is being put into action. RVC is proud to share the news that Dig In Trail Building & Design has broken ground on the main connection between what will be Woolastook’s front-country and the new back-country trails that will come next year. RVC’s first professionally built trail is underway!
Ernie and Ian of Dig In bring a very impressive trail resume and we are so psyched to be supporting growth in our local trail industry. They’ve got some impressive skill with both hand-building and using a mini-ex machine and these guys have recently completed projects like the new Fox Trot trail at Poley Mtn., High Tide and Low Tide at Rockwood Park, as well as improvements on the Rockwood Classic MacKay Skyway. You can check out their work on their Instagram channel.
They’ll be working on about 800 m of trail for the remainder of this fall targeting a solid ‘intermediate’ level difficulty and using the IMBA Canadian Guidelines for building. Now – you will see this under construction over the next few weeks as you are out fat biking. Please stay off. This is under construction until we announce that it’s open for riders but that will not be until the ground firms up next spring and Dig In can complete their finishing work. For now – it’s called T-22 because that’s how it was identified in our plan but we’ll come up with a better name. We’ve got all winter to think about it.
More value coming to Woolastook and the surrounding local communities from our Canada Community Building Fund Grant!
Cheers!
