Trail Hazards Identified

On my report of September 25, the Corduroy Enduro had over 280 dirt bikes entered the VRT caused a rut in the trail side. Today I took a shovel and filled and packed down this rut. Filling the rut should prevent a trail washout during heavy rain.

One person that I checked said that within the last few weeks he was stopped by the OPP near the gravel pit in the 5 Points area. The OPP checked for a trail pass, valid insurance and license.

Notes

We stopped 5 dirt bikes, one had a trail pass, license and insurance. The other 4 dirt bikes did not have trail passes, license or insurance.. These 4 were informed of the violations they may incur if OPP or bylaw stopped them. We sold them a day pass so at least they were not trespassing.

There are 3 large trees in the area of Crego Gorge bridge that are broken and hanging over the trail. This may require a boom truck to safely drop the trees.
