Successful Mossom Creek Trail Day

On October 16^th, TORCC hosted a trail day to work on the Mossom Creek Trail.  Thirty volunteers put in many hours to work on a large section of boggy and deteriorating trail.  Pictures from the event can be found here.

TORCC would like to acknowledge the support form many businesses/organizations who helped make this trail day a success.  Please consider giving them your support in return for their support of TORCC.

The final development proposal for Port Moody’s Heritage Mountain?

 

Port Moody’s Land Use Committee met to discuss Parklane’s proposal for two areas on Heritage Mountain.  Area 1 on the map will be developed as single family houses.  However Area 2, which includes the bottom of “Randy’s” trail and “Juan Valdez”, will be dedicated as a park.

The Land Use Committee approved the proposal.  The next step is for it to be sent to City Council at some future date.

 

TORCC awarded $1000 trail grant from Norco Performance Bikes

TORCC successfully applied to Norco's Advocacy Grant Program to fund the building/revitalization of two trails on Eagle Mountain: Physiotherapy and Mossom Creek.

 

The completion of the “Physiotherapy Trail” will provide single-track mountain bike access to upper Eagle Mountain allowing access to trails such as “Massage Therapy”, “Manhandler”  “3Little Pigs” “Mistress” and the “Mossom Creek” trail.

 

The re-development, maintenance and construction of new bridging along the Mossom Creek trail will provide continuous access from upper Eagle Mountain to the “Academy Trail” and the Buntzen Lake trail system and provide an intermediate trail option on Eagle Mountain.

 

Money from this grant will go toward trail building tools, equipment, and materials, as well as insurance, and volunteer trail day supplies.

 

TORCC gratefully acknowledges the support of Norco Performance Bikes to help make these projects realized.

 

Return of "The Fat Boys" Discussion Board

Thefatboys.ca was the host of a lively discussion board for those who love to ride in the Tri-Cities.  After 11(?) years, the owner of the site thought it was time to pull the plug on it.  Thanks to his help, we are now able to host that discussion board on the torcc.ca website.

If you were a member of thefatboys.ca discussion board, then you can log in with your old username and password and you can see the discussions from before the transfer. (Note: This is different from the TORCC newsletter/supporter signup)

If you were not previously registered, then you can create a new login ID quickly and easily to participate in all of the discussion.
