GROC Genesee Regional Off-Road Cyclists

What a great year at OCP. The trails are awesome and function really well. Great design, great volunteers create a great experience on sustainable trails. There was a lot of inclement weather this past year and these trails are in fantastic shape, shed water and rule. This fall the Brown Trail extension is 80% done and has been getting some late season use. The trailwork days on the 3rd Sunday of the month 9 to 11am will pickup in April 2010 for next season. All I can say is GREAT GREAT VOLUNTEERS..BIG BIG UP!
Oh yeah OCP rules for winter outdoor activity as well, snowshoe, XC skiing, BC skiing, winter camping (burrrrrr!) gotta get out.

Sorry I've not updated in a while. Please check out the maps and note that some of Phase I and Phase II are in. Some are new within the last few weeks and need re-route/repair/design change but are do able. Matt and Casey expect to get down in the next few weeks and Victor and I tend to go down on thursday or friday mornings arriving at OCP about 8am then bang out trailwork until 10am. This allows Victor to get back to his shop. If anyone else finds these hours to be good please contact myself or Victor. We would like to put together a Sunday ride/workday again soon and will send out a notice to interested OCP trail crew persons. To get on that list again contact Victor or me. Most of the new trails are on the southside east and north of the FLT. Look for two flags at trail entrance or boulders. They are loops so go for it.

If you have never been you should go to Ontario County Park. Don Lyons, the Park Caretaker, is all about trails. The park has a great trail system and it is going to get better. GROC has been working with land managers and this new project is really exciting. On Sunday, May 4th from 9 til 11 am GROC will host a spring trailwork day at this great park. We will be clearing all the trails from winter blowdown and debris. Bring your bike, the workcrews will travel by bike to various places in the park as well as work on the new Kids Trail. New singletrack hiking and biking trails are being proposed and OCP trails are multiple use. We'll also be clearing the FLT within the park. Find out more about what is proposed and ride some of the best trails around. See you on the 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick comment regarding the awesome Ontario County Park. VMTBC members Andy August, Ted Kidd, Victor Gaspar, Kevin, Scott Likly and Rick Williams spent the first trailwork day at OCP last month clearing, grading and enhancing Don Lyons (Park Superintendent) biking trail. This is a new trail that Don has been working on the last year and it is awesome. This budding relationship between the off-road cycling group, VMTBC and Ontario County Parks will be one of the premier places for multiple-use trails. During this workday the group also spent time doing routine maintenence on the Fingar Lakes Trail and hope to work with FLT in the future regarding that great trail system. For more information on this or to get involved in what is in the planning for this partnership please contact Victor Gaspar. When you ride at OCP please stop in and say hello to Don Lyons and tell him how much you appreciate his efforts to make the park even better.
