202 Crossing and Rt 119

With the snow flying, the Sno-Moles would like to touch on a couple of dos and don’ts on our trails:

First, there is NO TRAIL along 119 from the railbed to The Pizza Haven. You will get a ticket.

Second, when you are on the railbed at the Route 202 crossing:

  • To get to Foggs for gas you must ride on the same side of 202 as Foggs. (That is the trail on the side of the road nearest the 202 SOUTHbound lane)
  • To get to Dunkins, Taco Bell etc. you must ride on that side of 202, the opposite of going to Foggs. (That is the trail on the side of the road nearest the 202 NORTHbound lane)

These are all clearly marked at the crossings and if you are caught on the wrong side, tickets will be issued.  Let's enjoy the snow!

 

Thanks,

Monadnock Sno-Moles!

Trail Work Parties

At the meeting this month, we discussed trying weekly work details to fill in between our larger parties. So, we decided to have one of our Trail Masters present each Sunday to take any and all volunteers out to do trail work beginning October 2nd. The meeting location will be The Hometown Diner at 8:30 AM. Arrive early if you plan on eating! The guys will know what spots need attention and depending on the size of the crew and the equipment at hand, will determine where the group(s) will head. So if you can, bring some tools. Pole saws, chain saws, loppers etc. As long as you are "maintaining" the trails, ATV's are allowed as well.

We really hope you can set aside a few hours for the club every now and again. The trails need it and you'll appreciate it much more when you're them this winter.

Thanks in advance,

The Sno-Moles

Fireworks Fund Raiser

With the return of the Jaffrey Fireworks (awesome event BTW), so to does the club's opportunity to raise funds due to the generosity of Tom Coney. Tom allows the club the use of his parking lot next to the event. Anyone attending the event knows this is the place to park should you care to get home before the crack of dawn! Thank you again Tom!

We would also like send a thank you out to the volunteers that made it happen. Setting up, working and cleaning up afterwards... Those we'd like to say a special thank you to along with Tom are, Chris Silvia, Mark Haskell, Lyle Greig. Dave VanBlarcom and James and Steve Kottke. Any one we missed, your efforts are appreciated as well.

Thanks again to you all, it was a big success as we collected nearly $1700.00 in club donations! Great work!
