After a great season, the work doesn’t stop. We have several miles of trail and only about a dozen or so people to put them in and take them out. We are in need of trail bosses. (What a trail boss does is organizes and facilitates the installation, maintenance and removal of a section of trail.) We have some people maintaining up to 11 miles of trails by themselves. That’s too much. If you belong to the club, have ridden our trail system and liked the product that we produced this year, raise your hand an volunteer to help out. We have the equipment and tools to help out with this position. Thanks to all of the volunteers that helped mark, clear, groom and re-route our trails this year as well as the board members that help organize our fundraisers and do all of the behind the scenes work this year. The Apple Fest is our #1 fundraiser of the year, (Wally). Our sponsorships are the #2, (Jeff) If you know of a possible sponsor, reach out to Jeff Klipfel at 585-754-3432. We spent over $2500 in diesel fuel this year grooming so every bit helps. ... See MoreSee Less
