Safe and fun, while respecting our environment.
The trail known as the 'GeoGrid' at the end of the Myra road has been officially changed to "The Laurie Ledwidge Memrial Trail" in honour of Laurie Ledwidge who had always been a big supporter of the Marine Riders and allowing us to use his land over the years. Our trail system wouldn't be what it is today without his support and the support of the whole Ledwidge family.
Friendly reminder that our monthly general meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 30th at 7:30pm. Jim Crowell and Marty Jefferies will be there early if you would like to discuss anything, or to get a membership.
As always, the meeting will be held at the Porters Lake Community Centre (map below) near the #107 hwy in Porters lake, 20 minute drive from Dartmouth on the #107.
All welcome. Membership does have its benefits!

Come on out for a day on the trails and help support our 2017 Annual Toy Drive. Registration entry fee is a new unwrapped toy, or monetary donations. Bring the unwrapped toy with you on the morning of our trail ride, pass it over to someone in the club, or you can’t make the fun run you can drop it off at our November Club Meeting. This is a Fun Run with a lot of good feelings and it’s a great time, as we’re helping out children that may not have a great Christmas. Even if you can’t make the ride, toys and donations are always accepted.
We'll be having another BBQ and Bonfire at the Gator Pit on Sunday October 15th. We'll be selling burgers and hot dogs along with a pop between 11am and 1pm. All proceeds will go towards the Christmas Toy Drive.
The Gator Pit is located at HF-23 on the Marine Riders map, which is on the Miller Rd, right be Cousins Lake.
There will be a group leaving from the end of the Myra Rd at 10am if you are interested in joining a group to get there. We'll probably take the scenic route using the 520 route on the way there.
Everyone's welcome! Hope to see you there!
Now that summer vacations are winding down, we thought it would be great to get a Fun Run in! Since a lot of clubs have already booked rallies on Saturdays and Sundays in September already we thought it would be fun to have an evening run.
So the plan is to meet up at the end of the Myra on the evening of Friday September 15th around 7:00-ish, unload our ATVs/side by sides and head out at 7:30 for about 4 to 5 hours.
This will be a rain or shine event, and we hope to see lots of you out there!
Jim was out over the weekend to put up our fancy new signs on the Blueberry Run. The Blueberry Run is a part of the Trans Canada Trail system, which is now 100% complete in Nova Scotia!
