News

If any member is not receiving their newsletter or any thing else from the club please get a hold of me at my email address jmcgraw2@twcny.rr.com

Also please disregard the calendar of events until further notice because of the changing of roads

We won't be putting much on our website because the Tree Huggers have been checking out our website to see what we will be doing, so we will be notifying you by email or newsletter. So please if you want to know what is going on especially if something comes up and it's to late to get it into the newsletter please get in touch with me through my email address.

April Newsletter

Due to the lack of action there wasn’t a February or March newsletter

Some of you might have heard rumors of the truck trails being closed to ATVs. They haven’t closed yet but we still have other trails and with the help of the landowners in the area we will continue to have trails to ride providing everyone cooperates and stays on the trails and not abuse the privilege.

There will be two large benefit rides this spring. The first one is the SNIRT RIDE sponsored by the Barnes Corners Sno-Pals in cooperation with the Tug Hill Wheelers
ATV Club. That ride will be held on April 12th. You can get more information from
www.sno-pals.com.
The second ride is sponsored by the Lewis County ATV Association and that ride will be held on May 3rd. This ride is for Trail Development.
So if you plan on coming to these rides please make sure your machine is registered, insured and to have your helmets. Also no riding double unless your machine is a two up or you have a storage box with arm rests BOLTED to your machine. The Law Enforcement will be checking for these and there will be a lot of riders on the hill so keep your speed in check and to stay on your own side of the road. We don’t want to see any of our members getting hurt or anyone else for that matter.

In our last newsletter we asked for 5 volunteers for this ride. We have 3 members helping out so far. We could use a couple of members to help out on Safety Patrol. There will be a pre-registration Friday evening 6-9 pm at the Snow Ridge Ski area restaurant.
For each club helping out for this ride a portion of the proceeds will be given to that club to help them out with trail maintenance.

As the riding season approaches it’s time to get our Trail Development Program up and running before the ATV’s hit the trails. I would like to have been out on the trails sooner than later but Mr. Snow machine put a stop to that. Our first workday will be on Saturday, April 26th at 9 AM. We will meet at the parking lot across from Timberview Lodge. Depending on the number of individuals that are on hand will be the determining factor on what trails we will work on. Suggest everyone bring a wheeler and with a little luck we will have time to get a ride in after our work is done. So everyone that is interested in making our trails one that folks will enjoy to ride please send me an Email at jonyon@twcny.rr.com or call at 315-493-6620

We also have several trails that need to have signage work prior to the riding season and when we can get started depends on the Snow Machine. Once the weather breaks I plan on performing trail maintenance on Wednesday evenings. Anyone that is able to work during the week please let me know.

“GREAT NEWS” John McGraw and I just returned from signing on another 90 acres of private land for our trail development program. I would like to thank Phil and Ann Dumond for stepping forward and offering their land for ATV riders to enjoy.
