Hello CCC Riders,

It’s been a busy season on the trails, and there’s still lots happening before we wrap up the year! From upcoming trail builds and our Fall BBQ, to exciting updates (including a new Snow Dog!)—there’s plenty to look forward to. Read on for all the latest club news and ways to get involved.

Club Announcements

Fall BBQ and Annual General Meeting September 28,2025

Join us for a ride and a BBQ to celebrate the season! After the ride, we’ll gather for our Annual General Meeting to reflect on the past year and plan for the year ahead.

This year, two positions are open for election:

• Secretary/Treasurer – Ann will be stepping down from this role.

• Vice President – Since Chris was appointed in the spring, this position will now go to a vote.

If you’re interested or want to learn more about what’s involved, please talk to any member of the current executive team. Our club is only as strong as its volunteers, and we’d love to have you involved!

Please register for the BBQ:

BBQ Volunteers Needed
We’re also looking for a few helping hands to set up and serve food at the BBQ. If you’re available, please email us at:

Reminder:
Lights Required for MTB Rides

With shorter days, lights are now mandatory for all mountain bike rides.


We bought a Snow Dog!

In our conversations with the TRCA about grooming the Palgrave trails, they mentioned they’re currently updating their agreements to include winter grooming. We decided to take a chance and purchase a used Snow Dog before the agreement was finalized. The goal was to secure one quickly—before fat biking and ice fishing season—so we wouldn’t have to pay full price for a new machine.

Once the agreement is signed, we’ll be asking for donations to support grooming. If an agreement can’t be reached, we’ll resell the Snow Dog.

Trail news

Volunteers needed – Erin Trail Build Day

Date: Sunday, September 14
Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Location: Erin Trails

Join us for a full day of trail building. Our goal: finish a brand-new drop line that riders can enjoy by the end of the day!

The Erin build crew has been hard at work creating fun skill-development lines. Riders have been loving Quantum Leap for the past month, and now we’re building out its exciting finale. With lots of hands, we can get big things done fast.

✅ No experience needed — everyone is welcome.

✅ High school students can earn volunteer hours.

✅ Northern Hydration beverages will be provided (bring your favourite drink if you’d like).

Come out, pitch in, and help shape the trails we ride together. It’s one of the best ways to give back to our community.

New Trail Update: Boulderdash

The new Albion trail, Boulderdash, is nearly complete — just the first and last ten meters remain. This week, I’ll be heading out with Jay Clark to inspect the trail, finalize signage, and make sure everything is ready to ride.

We’re aiming to officially open Boulderdash at the Fall BBQ (or sooner if all goes well!).

A huge thank you to the incredible build crew who dedicated their Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings all summer long to make this trail a reality. Your hard work has truly paid off!
