The Dauphin Derailleurs Club has been working hard over the winter to keep the Northgate Trails System up and running after a crazy few months of weather. David Bosiak is a Derailleurs Club Board member and he said it’s an interesting time for the Club and the Trail system as a whole.
It’s that in-between season time that we get prepared for spring. Now with the long winter, that’s been extended and there’s been some extra challenges maintaining the trails both near the end of the winter with all the heavy wet snow we got and then now waiting for it to dry out.
Bosiak said if it wasn’t for all the incredible volunteers they couldn’t do what they’ve been able to and thanks to new partnerships they’ve been able to maintain the trails all winter.
We created a new relationship with the Dauphin snowmobile club and a group of volunteers in town to help us groom the Co-op Family Trail. We had members of the Derailleurs board and Northgate subgroup look after the bike trails and they were out way more than in past years.
The club is in the very early stages of creating a group that will be called Friends of Northgate where they'll get local volunteers and local users to be more involved and help with ideas from programming to how to use the trails and to help the club understand what people want when they go to Northgate.
