Riders!
It might be raining today but planning for the 2023 Winterbike season continues. It will snow! Your Winterbike membership supports trail grooming at several locations in the Fredericton area. Here’s our plan for Woolastook.
This year RVC groomers will keep a little more than 9 km of trail open at Woolastook. The layout here will let riders plan out routes using stacked loops so lots of distance options will be available. You’ll want to build up to a full distance ride though because the winter lookout is worth it. We won’t tell anyone if we see you pushing your bike up the last bit of that steep hill up to the lookoff – we promise.
Mike Hutchinson, RVC’s vice president and Woolastook project lead will do some heavy lifting this winter and plans to groom regularly. From time to time he may get a little help from Dave & Andy. Give these guys a huge thanks if you are out and you run into them. Grooming snow for fatbike is a tough job and volunteering is how it all happens!
This grooming plan is what you can expect RVC will keep open for the duration but from time to time we’ll probably be able to enjoy a few other pieces of singletrack opened up by volunteer snowshoers. If you want to update your Trailforks app the winter mode map is now up to date.
Remember, you can join RVC Winterbike right now for 2023! This year we’ve kept our winter membership price the same despite our cost of running the equipment going way up. We hope you enjoy and we appreciate your support.
