One additional comment on the Woodlot trail day:

This is a pure maintenance day. No bikes, no prizes, no BBQ. The organizers and and the Experience Cycling riding club will be up there until 1130 or noon.

QUADS are destroying parts of TimeKiller.
Last week again looks like a group of quads went up through the TK .
They were not happy I had thrown tree’s onto the pathway where they ripped up the trail.
Corners, spiked together and a new ladder were ripped out with a winch.
Signage warning of the cliffs , smashed into pieces and left on the trail.
The trail was blocked in places ,by the QUADS.
I know by looking at the damage this,
It was more than one quad, they were drinking cans of Kokanee ,you can see the garbage they left on the trail.
I now understand why in Vedder the motorcycles have NO QUADS ALLOWED signs all over.
The damage is unbeliveable ,with winch’s and a chainsaw they have destroyed a lot of work ,left their garbage .
Look at the lower gate where the QUADS have destroyed the forest around it.
Motorcycle’s over the years have done a certain amount of destruction but compared to these QUADS ,childs play.
If the access road is not blocked, no enforcement ,it’s open season on Sumas against the TimeKiller.
I believe they will be back and the goal is to winch ,their way to Chadsey lake.
Lately looking for the positives is getting tougher, I feel kinda sick in the tummy,went home .

Hey Gary, we should ask people or post signs asking for help by taking license plate #s of trucks parked at the bottom as this could gve us an idea of who they are. Then maybe we can deal with them on some level.

When I rode Red last week I could also see signs of quads on the trails and they are very destructive. They also do not contribute to any trail up keep or building of them for themselves. Big problem, selfish !!?#***~`*#

Which trails on Red? Shutting down access to those lines shouldn’t be difficult.

it was on the bottom section going along past the gun club. if they are going there it is inevitable they will go higher, if not already. going up to clear some tree stuff soon and will look more closely for signs of them as I walk the trails higher up.

Has the district of Mission been notified? I wonder if there is a way to “quadproof” the trails?
