Time Killer is being re-born.
The logging that took place on Sumas recently wiped out the Freeway Bob section of TimeKiller. Over the past few weeks, we’ve done alot of work putting the trail back in and now that the trail’s been generally cleared of debris, alot more effort is needed to make it ridable. We need you!
Come on out this weekend for a quick and dirty trail day.
Saturday, March 29, 2008
9:30am
Meet at the lower gate. Bring rakes, shovels, gloves, lunch.
Green is the Original TimeKiller
Yellow is the new Freeway bob section
Red are 2 new roads.

Well, the moment we’ve been waiting for (and dreading) is finally here. Logging is underway on a large section of Time Killer. For your own safety, please stay off the trail as it is closed (and totally unrideable) until further notice. Check back here for updates.

As of September 26, 2007:
There’s active logging on TimeKiller right now, with trees down both above and below the new road cut about 1/2 way down.
Please stay off the trail until they are done.
We are really disappointed - we all knew this logging was coming, but in our discussions with the logging company, they weren’t going to carry on the work until December. The whole point in keeping us informed is so we can put the word out, and try to ensure riders stay off the mtn for a while. There’s nothing worse than a tree falling on your head, or meeting a loaded truck around a blind corner.

We’ve got a long list of jobs to tackle on Sumas. Meet at the parking area at the end of Bakstad road (the Time Out exit) at 10 am on Sunday June 3. We’ve got some tools, but feel free to bring whatever you have (shovel, rake, buckets).
This trail day is sponsored by The Bike Brewery in Abbotsford.

Starting Monday May 14, FVMBA and the Fraser Valley Regional District Parks department will be working on a project to legitimize and spruce up the knobgobbler trail on Sumas Mountain. We will be replacing the bridges and doing groundwork to add some much needed flow to this trail. FVRD will be putting up signage and a staging area below the middle gate (the exit of the trail).
Much of the work will be taking place on weekdays during the day. There will also be guys working up there in the afternoon. If you would like to be a part of this ground-breaking project, send Tom an email at tmackesy@shaw.ca.

The logging on Sumas Mountain will be completed by April 30. Please stay out of the area between 6 am and 4 pm weekdays for your own safety.
Once the logging is completed, we will be working with land managers to re-establish the trails damaged by logging.

FVMBA received an email today from the individual managing operations on Sumas.
Summarized:
-Road construction and blasting will be starting again on January 03, 2007.
-Work will only take place weekdays from 7:00 Am to 4:30 Pm
-Logging will not start for another couple of months but I will be informed ahead of time when it starts
So - Please - Say off the mountain during those hours. We may not like the destruction, but these guys are working (somewhat) with us, and we need to not get in their way. Besides - nobody likes to be hit with flying rock, so be safe.
