Work is moving right along!   Note the clearing’s not open for public use yet.

DEC’s contractors are working on the Daniels Road parking area and the right of way. They will probably be in there another week or two. Once completed the gate will likely remain closed until after mud season in the spring. When the parking area opens, it will be a huge improvement over the current access issues! We’ll keep you posted as things progress.

Thanks to everyone for coming out for the year end ride, meeting and elections this weekend! We had a fun group ride at Luthers Forest and had a good time at the year end meeting at The Mill in Round Lake.

For those who couldn’t make it to the meeting, the slideshow that was presented is available here (also found on the Meeting Minutes page).  

At the meeting, the 2016 elections were held. As a result, please welcome our two newest board members:

VP North – Drew Roginski
VP South – Greg Haworth

Thanks Drew and Greg for stepping up! As always, if you’re looking to get more involved, either on the board or spearheading a special project you’re passionate about, let us know.

And thanks to all our members and sponsors for your support in making SMBA’s 2015 a success!

We’re trying something new this year!

Our year end meeting will kick off with a social ride at the Luther Forest trails on Hermes Road. Luther Forest has singletrack for everyone, and is a blast to ride! We’ll meet at 12:30pm and break into group rides based on speed and ability. We’ll regroup again at 3:00pm for the Year End Meeting & Elections (and refreshments) at The Mill in Round Lake.

Ride Social: Luther Forest, 12:30PM
Meeting & Elections: The Mill, Round Lake, 3-5PM
