BMAC's 2nd Annual Rescue Training Drill

On Sept. 25 BMAC hosted their 2nd Annual Emergency Response Rescue drill at their ATV Trail Head on West Rd. in the West Rutland/Ira area. Their sister club WRASC also participated, along with emergency response departments from Castleton, Goshen, Ira and Timmouth fire depts.
The purpose of the drill was to train VASA-BMAC & WRASC atv club members and local emergency response teams to work together when responding to situations in remote off highway locations that would benefit having trained atv assistance. This training will be valuable in rescues of hikers, Mt. bikers, atvers, fishermen, hunters, campers and transporting fire department volunteers and their equipment to remote off road locations. Big thank you to the many VASA atver's that want training and participated on Sat.
With our sport this training is a valuable asset. If you can ride an atv or SxS and/or use a GPS, then you can benefit from this training even if you have a handicapp.
BMAC's 3rd Annual Drill is already being planned for early Spring 2011.
I'll be making up cd's of pictures for our EMS that participated. There are close to 300 pictures of the 3 practice drills. 117 are posted on Facebook; http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=100000225845929

BMAC 2nd Annual Rescue Training Drill

BMAC trail work in progress

Please be aware, if you weren't at the last BMAC meeting!!

There will probably be heavy equipment on the back side of Man MT. putting in a better trail with excavator, dump truck and also on other BMAC trails in the West Rutland and Ira sections of BMAC trails to ready them for the Last Hoorah.

This will not affect the Rescue Drill on 9-25. Just use caution if riding the trails this coming weekend.

We wish to ready the trails for safe riding during the open day of 10-10-10, for the Last Hoorah.

After that, BMAC trails are closed except for approved Trail Blazing and marking of "new" landowner approved BMAC/VASA trails during the Winter months. We are in the process of opening 800-900 more acres of VASA trails! This means you must commit or
possibly be available, for trail crew work. To get on the notification list, email or phone Officers of BMAC. This is for the Winter/Spring season of 2010/2011.

Reminder, BMAC trails close Oct. 1, 2010

It's going to be a beautiful weekend. Better get out there and ride! BMAC trails close Oct. 1. Then will open for the "Last Hoorah" 10-10-10. After that, all trails closed for the winter months including WRASC's connecting trails.

The only exception, will be those members signed up for winter trail work. BMAC is working on adding more very extensive trails, just like last year. Winter, early Spring is the time to mark and clear trails, weather permitting.

Important survey!

The Green Mountain National Forest Trail Collaborative is hosting a survey regarding trails in Vermont. It’s important that the motorized recreation groups have some input, so take a few minutes, visit this link, and fill out the survey! Thanks Everyone! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TFCGWV5
