April 2, 2026 - Trail Seminar
NOCS is hosting a Trail Maintenance Workshop At the Vernon Library. This session will cover the basics of trail care, how to perform light, approved maintenance, how to identify and report larger trail issues and how to help educate other trail users on trail etiquette. Participants will be encouraged to act as informal Trail Ambassadors, helping support stewardship on the trails and representing NOCS positively within the riding community.
We’re also planning a trail build seminar later this spring, so stay tuned.
It’s shaping up to be a big year for trail work, and these skills will definitely come in handy.
June 18, 2026 - Solstice Social Ride & BBQ
Location: TBA
Time: TBA
What to Expect:
Join us for an evening of biking with like-minded individuals and the opportunity to make new connections. These rides are not guided; instead, we'll gather in the parking lot, offer route suggestions, and set you on your way!
We anticipate forming groups based on skill levels, with options for green, blue, and advanced trails. Don't worry—we'll help organize everyone accordingly.
Cost (proceeds go to trail building and maintenance)
BBQ rides are $5, and non-BBQ rides are free
