February 11, 2019 -15º Looks like we have two groomers down today. The shifter on the old BR180 is broken hopefully we can get one ASAP and the Lamtrac blew a track last night, with any luck this won’t be anything serious, be patient we will eventually get all the trails done up. Yesterday Kendall…

February 10, 2019 -13º Looks like another cold windy day in store. Last night Jamie started the task of fixing 52 North to the headpond as it was pretty beat up with all the traffic yesterday, approximately 70 sleds left Nepisiquit heading to Miramichi yesterday morning plus all the local traffic, he is still out…

February 9th, 2019 -11º We are back in the minus temps again, that little bit of rain shouldn’t have hurt our trail, maybe a little hard, might need scratchers. Don’t forget about your fundraiser tickets, yes we would like it if you went and found them, you know in the cupboard somewhere, as we would…

February 8th, 2019 -6º Yesterday Tony had a hard start to his morning, the old BR180 wouldn’t start, but after some investigation, they found a bolt had worked loose on a starter linkage, once they found a replacement bolt he was off and running and groomed 513 to the junction of 514. Last night Alan…

February 7th, 2019 -8º Yesterday Jamie and Ron did some much needed maintenance to both BR180’s, doing oil changes and greasing plus some minor repairs. Last night Alan groomed trail 21 to Black River then back and also picked up 510 Loggieville and 511 Rodd. Late yesterday Jamie groomed 52 North to the headpond. Don’t…

February 6th, 2019 -9º Back to the cold temps for the next few days, then warm again on Friday. Too warm yesterday for any grooming so the machines are in for some maintenance (oil change, grease and minor repairs). We had a report of some clown with their vehicle on trail 521 into Kingston’s Petro…

February 5th, 2019 -5º Yesterday Alan with the help of the City of Miramichi managed to get trail 511 to the Rodd opened yesterday, thanks to both parties for their efforts in getting this done. Alan also groomed trail 21 to 52 South, out to Barnaby and back to the Miramichi Bridge. He also went…

February 4th, 2019 -10º A big Thank You to Colby for cleaning up a section of trail by the Knights Inn, it’s nice to see young folks take the initiative to just help the club without anyone asking, if we had a number of members like him we wouldn’t have any bushes sticking out on…

February 3rd, 2019 -16º Looks like this cold snap will be ending tomorrow with possible rain on Tuesday. Yesterday Kendall groomed 52 North to the headpond, trail base seem to be very hard and holding up nicely. A note of caution on 514, the lower section from the junction of 513 to Allison’s Store their…

February 2nd, 2019 -17º Looks like the cold snap will end tomorrow. Yesterday Alan groomed to Black River, this trail should be in great shape with 2 passes in two days. Jamie groomed all Newcastle and Douglastown trails yesterday, 525, 52 South, 42 South, 515, 512, 521, 520 and 529. Don’t forget about our fundraiser…
