Porcupine HIlls Video 2011

Checkout this video from one of the Vet riders for the Porcupine Cross Country! The race was a huge success despite the fire bans in Alberta. With over 100 riders packing the lines for the start in beautiful weather, the race went without a hitch. Some stragglers were unfortunate to get caught in monsoon downpour in hour 4 of the race, however everyone had a smile as they came into the check, mostly because they were done the race!

Off-Road Users Urged To Respect The Land

RMDRA Member Aaron Bauer,Had this Great Quote : 
“Our local club supports a one-time ban over the May long weekend due to the exceptionally high snowpack and the condition of the trails,” said Aaron Bauer, trail maintenance director with the Rocky Mountain Dirt Riders.
“Our members spend thousands of volunteer hours a year maintaining the trails and we want to be a part of the solution, not the problem.”
Bauer said his club has advised members to stay away from the Ghost-Waiparous and McLean Creek areas, especially over the long weekend when off-road use is at its peak.
