Bike Rally postponed to June 19 ( rain date ) The 12th annual summer bike rally is planned for June 12th. Our host is Lera Ryan. Typically, this (non-competitive) rally runs on good gravel roads or secondary pavement, with a choice of routes for less and more experienced riders, followed by a picnic potluck meal. More details to follow. Saturday April 24 2010 David Turner has updated the GNSC trail map to add the new trail and eliminate the ones that are no longer used. At the same time, I have created a new map of all the trails using a GPS device, which is posted alongside it below.
As you can see, the hand-drawn map is pretty accurate! (Except the trail down to Concession 6. But that’s so far south that criticizing its accuracy is like complaining that Capt. Scott didn’t really know where he was going in Antarctica!) As before, a bigger version of the map, and a printable version, are available form the Trail Maps page. If you would like to get the GPS map as a track that can be downloaded to your GPS device, let me know and I will see what I can do. Some members have recently been asking about how to arrange for people to get together and ski. While there is no permanent schedule for group skis, there are some good options.
The moonlight ski was a great success. Many thanks to Patsy and Bob James!
Great news. This month, a new trail is being added to the GNSC empire! The trail connects the Turner property to the James property, over the fields of Megan McCrossan and (your webmaster) Michael Smart. Now you can complete a GNSC Odyssey – from the County Forest, to Turners’, then Smarts’, Jameses’, and Barneses’ and back (or the reverse) – without ever retracing your steps. To find out more and see the trail on a map, just click here to … Continue reading All hail the new trail Now you can add your own photos to our site – visit the Photo Galleries Should you ever get tired of GNSC trails, here are some other places to try: Bruce Ski Club (Hepworth, Wiarton) Local Sources for cross-country skis, waxes, snowshoes and winter wear.
