Meeting held Wednesday May 17th 2023

Bald Mountain

  • Money from COVID-era trail improvement programs will not be allocated to Bald Mountain as previously discussed

Friendship Park

  • Official opening day attendance of around 60 people. Attendees had a good time and people enjoyed the trail

  • Considering changing trail direction on alternating days

Trail Building Tools

  • Motion to buy an electric chainsaw passed unanimously

CRPT Trail Coordinator

  • Jeremy to meet with Jacob Isaacson to discuss trail coordinator responsibilities

Chapter Meeting

  • Date: June 14th

  • Location: Stony Creek

Events

  • Chose Feb 3rd 2024 for Ay CRAMBA with Feb 17th as a backup date. Plans to be finalized in Basecamp

  • Discussed Chris Westerlund’s comment on Facebook asking why MFO and Shelden Trail Fest are not on the same day. Decided events conflict too much with each other. Many people spend the whole day at each event and having them on the same day would prevent that. Conversely, many people can’t spend the whole day at either event and that would mean they can’t attend both. Finally, the route may not include Stony this year.

Website Updates

  • New website ready to go live

  • Currently missing library files page

  • Decided to send the draft website to the trail coordinators so they could check the accuracy of their trail pages

  • Decided to include non-cramba events and group rides for anyone that reaches out and asks to be included on the website. This includes non-mountainbiking cycling groups if they want to be included such as gravel rides. Some of these groups have made donations to CRAMBA in the past and many CRAMBA members are in these groups.

Social Media

  • Discussed Kurt G’s Strava post in which he raised concerns about the official Strava group having many non-CRAMBA members. We discussed options, but decided policing who can and cannot be in the group is something we’re not going to do at this time.
