For those wanting to earn tons of good Karma, mark Sunday April 26 on your calendar for the â??Annual Vedder Mountain Trail Cleanup and Maintenance Dayâ?. This event has been going off for many years now and is an essential part of our efforts to keep our riding area healthy. Each year we remove 5-7 tonnes of garbage and recyclables that are illegally dumped on the Vedder Mountain roadways, parking areas, trail heads and trails. The second half of the day will be dedicated to trail buffing and maintenance. Without this effort our playground would be a junkyard and no fun to ride. Every year there is a ton of free food and Swag provided and if you were there last year, you know that everyone got something good to go home with. In addition, anyone attending this year will be able to get your brand new Vedder Mountain Trails Association (VMTA) Member stickers for $10 instead of the normal $20 price and support our work towards legalizing and permanently protecting all of our trails through ongoing negotiation with the government and Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Arts. Contact myself by email (via the Contacts page at VMTA.ca) or by phone (604-793-5265) or Rob at Jack Cycle (604-858-3011) to sign up. See VMTA.ca for more deets. The skinny:
â?¢ 9:30 am, Sunday April 26 (lunch at 12, wrap-up around 3pm)
â?¢ Meet at the mountain bike parking area (first â??Yâ? up Parmenter Road)
â?¢ Bring gloves, big plastic bucket (maybe a shovel or rake, but these may be provided)
