Welcome
11/12/08
Our last meeting was held on Oct 25
discussions centered around trail
maintenance, groomer repairs and the
upcoming Trail masters meeting. The Drag has
new cutter blades and the groomer has
3 new Tires plus the Motel trail has been
cleared and the two bad corners on Appleby
trail have had there bridges replaced with
culverts which makes those corners much
wider and easier for the groomer to
negotiate not to mention much safer for all.
The only trail work remaining is the Tower
trail has to be cleared, $25 trail checked
and all trails signed. Our next meeting will
be on Saturday Nov 29, 6PM at the Jefferson
Notch Motel Rt2 in Randolph. Hope to see you
there.
The law
states that a Groomer has the right of way.

RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR PASSING A GROOMER
approved
by NHSA map and trails committee
1. FOR
ONCOMING SLEDS: The sled should pull off the
trail
and allow the groomer to pass by.
2.
OVERTAKING A GROOMER: The groomer operator
should
find a safe place to pull over and stop. The
rider can then
check to see if they can safely pass the groomer.
NOTE: The groomer operator will not signal a
sled to pass.
Reason: Each rider must take responsibility for
passing
a trail groomer.
