The Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association (SORCA) invites all local restaurants and businesses to get involved in our 2010 bi-weekly summer 'Toonie' Races. This is a great opportunity to help out a grassroots community event while at the same time showcasing your business to a specific demographic of corridor residents. In 2009 SORCA exceeded the 500 member threshold for the first time and had over 1200 total participants between the 12-race 'Toonie' series.

The dead end loop trail is marked as closed with numerous ribbons across the trail and lots of signage. Apparently yesterday a mountain biker was seen carrying his bike over a “slack line” that ties back the cable yarder. If the yarding crew was to have tightened that line at that time to move some wood the mountain biker would very likely have been killed. I realize that this could be anyone from anywhere but it’s important the we get the message out again that dead end loop is closed.

PLEASE RESPECT ALL TRAIL CLOSED SIGN FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE WORKERS
