West Nipissing ATV Club

Last Friday, the 7th of December, the West Nipissing ATV club was part of the “Parade of Lights” in Sturgeon Falls. A float was entered dressed up with our club banner, our corporate sponsor’s signs as well as a side by side decked out for the occasion. Some 1500 hundred or more lollipops were handed out to the children young and old lining the route. It must be mentioned that the candies were donated by Paul and Nancy’s No Frills of Sturgeon Falls. THANK YOU. Also we have to acknowledge the four individuals who did the work and volunteered their time. They were: Marcel Gascon, Bob Martin, Carl Ritter and…

Here’s a great article from our friends at Cottage Life on what you might consider to pack away your ATV for the winter.  Of course I know some of you will be attaching snowplows or riding out to your fish-huts (once the ice is good and thick!).   “Before bedding down your ATV for the winter, make sure cold, condensation, chemical breakdown, and critters don’t turn your spring start-up into a letdown. 1. Clean and lubricate: Wash, rinse, and dry your ATV. Bugs and brake dust will only increase the chances of winter corrosion. Wax painted and chromed parts. Lubricate every item that could corrode during a long period of storage:…

Unfortunately the fire situation for now has not improved enough to lift travel restrictions. So the next Holdridge Creek ride has to be postponed. On our ride schedule the following rides cannot be held if they were to be held today: Thistle Lake, Holdridge Creek, Marten River, Murray Lake, Hwy 805 to Cross Lake and Gull Lake. You can see that we will have to rethink the schedule. What our ride committee will do is reschedule the rides according to the MNRF removal of travel restrictions. We will have more rides in August, September and if need be October. As soon as we have good news, a new schedule will…

This email is to notify you of the CANCELLATION of the Thistle Lake ride this coming Saturday, July 14th. This is due to the numerous forest fires in the area of River Valley and the potential for more due to lightening last night. Last count was 10 around here including Temagami. Apparently our parking area has been commandeered by MNR personnel. We hope you understand the situation especially the sponsors of the ride. This ride will be postponed for the second time and hopefully made at a later date. Until the next ride Barry Beauchamp WNATV Club Secretary/Treasurer

The May 12th Thistle Lake Ride has been CANCELLED due to trail conditions.  Hopefully this will be rescheduled later this fall.  Sorry…safety first.

WNATV Club 2018 Members…..the ride catalog for the 2018 Rides have all been updated as well as the 2017 Rides.  Have a look!  Only the Thistle Lake ride is locked out at this time because the ride is being “remade”.  We’ll update this after our scouts get a chance to check out the trails to ensure safe passage.  Let’s hope the snow leaves soon!  

We had a very nice turn out on Wednesday night to our 2018 AGM. The Club has a brand new set of Bylaws, and we look forward to an even more efficient way of managing the Club. Stay tuned to the website for more updates.  The new Board of Directors has been listed on the website, and the minutes of the meeting will be posted very soon. Note the date for our first ride to the Sugarbush has been set. Talk to you later!

Just a note to fill you in on the results of our map committee meeting. The committee is made up of Sue & Perry Brown, Bob Martin, Art Constantineau and Barry Beauchamp. We set the purpose of the committee and established the duties. Some of the resolutions were: We will not make available a map booklet but publish maps, tracks and ride descriptions on the webpage. Members can download the information to make their own book if they wish to do so. The rides have been divided into 7 regions and the rides ( 40 in all) will be classified into these regions. We have 8 rides that will be…
