Upgrades to Soft Taco continue

A small but dedicated crew continues to work on upgrading Soft Taco in Clayburn. They’ll be working there this upcoming Saturday, March 3 at 10 am. Anyone who would like to come help out is welcome.

Need directions? E-mail us and we’ll get you sorted.

We will have Wentings’ Trail Bucks to give out to volunteers as well!

Vedder Mountain trail work

This past weekend saw a lot of love put back into the trails at Vedder Mountain in Chilliwack. We had a great turnout of volunteers, 6 on Saturday and 14 on Sunday! Some great work was done on “Hidden Pleasures” to re-route the beginning section of the trail. It is now a lot more fun, and more importantly, much more sustainable. Much was done in the way of drainage and grade reversals to keep water from running down the trail, and we’re quite happy with the result. Work is ongoing further down the trail, if you’re interested in helping send us an email at ride@fvmba.com. Thanks to everyone who came out!

FVMBA trail days in 2007

Dates for Trail Days for 2007 have been decided:

  • Sunday March 25 - Vedder (Jack's Cycle)
  • Saturday April 21 - McKee Peak - lower SOB
  • Sunday May 13 - Bear (Pre-race grooming!!)
  • Sunday June 3 - Sumas
  • Saturday September 15 - Vedder
  • Sunday November 25 - Woodlot (Giant Killer)

Come on out and give a little back to the trails we all ride. We’ve got ‘Trail bucks’ - redeemable at Wentings toward the purchase of whatever cool bike stuff you want.

As we get closer to each date, more details will be announced, both here, NSMB and Pinkbike.

In addition to these ‘formal’ trail dates, there are dedicated groups of builders working on trails on almost any given weekend, and some weekdays. If you want to help - and learn - drop us a line and we’ll hook you up.

Don’t forget the current project of re-working Soft Taco in Clayburn. If you’ve ridden this trail before, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised come spring!!

THanks to all the Bike shops helping out so far:

Wentings in Mission for providing Trail bucks for trail day volunteers. Jacks cycles in Chilliwack for providing a staging area for the Vedder date.
