I am one of the Junior coaches for the NEYC "New England Youth Cycling" kids team the “WOMPY WARRIORS”. Trail Builder, Recreational Trail Committee, Friends of Wompatuck Member and on the BOD for SE NEMBA as Event Coordinator.

I am very excited to invite you to ride my local trail system The Carolina Hills! The past few years and still building some Awesome NEW Trails. I worked with the Town Officials to get these trails approved.

This will be the 6th official Mountain Bike race at Carolina Hill Marshfield, Massachusetts.

Trail System is in wonderful shape!

Volunteers and myself have been out clipping and clearing the trails all season because it is my private training area, but I am now ready to share it with you.

Some of you know about the "Hills", you can't go down if you don't go up!

This race will have fun laps mixed with dirt roads and flowy single track with a little bit of "WOMPY TECH" you all will enjoy.

It's also smooth enough you could ride a hardtail if you want.

Each lap will be about 6-7 miles. It sounds short but you will enjoy the climbs with some fast flowy, double track descents. Sand based dries out quickly like the Cape.

I want to show more people my primo riding spots right here in Marshfield.

A little about Recreational Trail Committee of Marshfield

Who We Are and What We Do:

Established by the Select Board in October 2014, the Recreation Trails Committee is a working committee comprised of Five (5) members and Two (2) alternate members, all Marshfield residents, appointed by the Select Board for overlapping three (3) year terms. The RTC strives to improve town trails and walking opportunities through: Trail Maintenance, Organized Community Walks, Improved Signage, Kiosks and Maps. The RTC seeks to partner with town departments, boards, individuals, local businesses and community groups who are interested in improving our community trail system.

In addition to our appointed members, the RTC is fortunate to have both the Town Planner and the Conservation Agent as Committee Advisors.

The Recreation Trails Committee welcomes additional volunteers who are interested in promoting, improving and maintaining town trails for all Marshfield residents and neighbors to enjoy.

The Trail Ambassadors are a subset of the Trails Committee. Trail Ambassadors perform routine and regular maintenance on the town trails. Trail Ambassadors cut, rake, trim, clean up rubbish, mark, and monitoring trails on a weekly basis. Trail Ambassadors work on a different trail each week for a two (2) hour time period. Trail Ambassadors partner with other volunteers to cut new trails, repair footbridges and install new trail benches. If you have a Trail Ambassador question you may contact us through the Marshfield website.

So, what does this mean? The RTC typically meets the second Wednesday of the month at the Town Hall, Planning Department Conference room. The meetings are open to the public and are scheduled to start at 7:00 pm. The goal is to complete all business by or before 9:00 pm. At times we may meet more often, such as if we attend a board meeting or Town Meeting.

We have an active and varied board, we are always looking for a few new friends, stop by one of our meetings and meet RTC members and advisors.

Thank You for reading all of the notes!

WESTERN OKATAINA SHUTTLE MISSION

Just twenty minutes from Rotorua, the Western Ōkataina Walkway/MTB Trail is a proper slice of paradise. Expect beautiful native forest, challenging Grade 3 riding, a few solid climbs, and long, fast, flowy descents that make the effort worthwhile.

When: Sunday 12th July 2026

Where: Ōkataina Education Camp OR Lake Ōkataina Waterfront Carpark, Lake Ōkataina Road, Rotorua

Departure Time: Lake Ōkataina Waterfront Carpark 8.15am | Ōkataina Education Camp 8.30am

WESTERN OKATAINA SHUTTLE MISSION

THE JOURNEY

14.5kms | 453m climbing | 508m descent

(optional Whakapoungakau section 2.6km return)

Load up your mates for a sweet mission to ride one of the Rotorua gems, the Western Okataina.

We’ll pick you up either from the Okataina Education Camp or Lake Ōkataina waterfront carpark on Lake Ōkataina Road and from there we’ll transport you to the Western Ōkataina trailhead at Miller Road, near Lake Ōkareka. You can then set off at your own pace and ride the Western Track back through to Lake Ōkataina, finishing right back near your vehicle.

THE RIDE

The Western Okataina is an old forestry road that dates back to earlier last century when the area was logged for rimu, totara, rata and kahikatea. It is generally wide and well formed. The ride will see you pass through some stunning native bush.

The ride is 14.5km of challenging grade 3 trail that rewards you with both amazing views and an epic final descent towards the Okataina Education Camp.

There is a rugged but awesome little 2.6km side-quest which will see you absorb amazing views of Lakes Rotorua and Rotoiti from the Whakapounakau Trig. We think this is well worth the deviation.

Your registration includes:Transport for 1 person and their bike from Okataina to the start of the Western Okataina trail on Millar Rd.

E-Bikes welcome.

The Kollective is a new ride series rooted in connection, community, and a shared commitment to safer roads across Ontario. It brings together the Share the Road Cycling Coalition (The Coalition) and Racer Sportif—two organizations linked by a long-standing partnership and a shared dedication to building a safer cycling culture.

That partnership began in 2006, after OPP Sergeant Greg Stobbart was killed by a motorist while training on his bike near his home in Burlington. Greg had purchased his bike from Racer Sportif, and in the months following his death, the shop helped organize the first community ride in his honour. That September event marked the beginning of a movement for cycling safety in Ontario. On September 20th, the 20th anniversary Share the Road Gran Fondo will take place in Halton Hills at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre.

Greg’s death was preventable. The driver who struck him had five convictions for driving under suspension, four for driving without a license, $15,000 in unpaid fines—and two months after killing Greg, he hit another person.

In response, Greg’s widow, Eleanor McMahon, mobilized cyclists across the province. She founded the Share the Road Cycling Coalition in 2007 and successfully advocated for stronger penalties for suspended drivers, leading to the passage of Greg’s Law in 2008. Additional legislative reforms, road safety campaigns, and major provincial investments in cycling infrastructure followed. The Coalition continues this work today, supporting municipalities, advancing provincial advocacy, and promoting safer roads for all.

Throughout this journey, Racer Sportif and the Coalition have remained closely aligned in their efforts to support cyclists and improve road safety and relationships between cyclists and motorists. Their shared history forms the foundation of the Kollective.

The Kollective builds on this legacy by offering a series of thoughtfully organized rides throughout the summer—creating space for riders to connect, build community, and engage more deeply with the broader network of cyclists, advocates, and partners. The goal is not only to deliver a high quality riding experience, but also to strengthen the social fabric of Ontario’s cycling community.

A key focus of the initiative is welcoming a new generation of riders. By offering an accessible and inclusive entry point, the Kollective introduces younger cyclists to the sport’s culture and community while connecting them to the values that guide Share the Road and its partners.

Through this series, the Kollective brings together community, advocacy, and culture—honouring where cycling in Ontario has been and helping shape where it is going.

The routes will head south from the barn into Kingman County this year, exploring the roller hills, bluffs, and open grasslands between Murdock and Kingman.

The roads in our area of Kansas range from fast hard pack to light sand over hard pack with some stretches of deeper sand that change in firmness with rainfall amounts. We do our best to limit the amount of deep sand, but it is all part of the challenge in the Ninnescah River Valley.

REGISTRATION FEE INCLUDES YOUR CHOICE OF A LONG-SLEEVED OR SHORT-SLEEVED T-SHIRT, A HOLOGRAPHIC STICKER, A HOMEMADE POST-RIDE SOUP AND CINNAMON ROLL MEAL (MEAT AND VEGETARIAN OPTIONS), AND AN OPTIONAL CRAFT BEER FROM SANDHILLS BREWING. REGISTER BY OCTOBER 14TH TO GUARANTEE A T-SHIRT BY EVENT DAY.

You may donate to their cause in the merchandise section. We thank you so very much in advance for your generosity.

If you live a good distance from here and wish to arrive the night before, as to not have to drive too far the morning of the ride, there are options for lodging close by! We include a list of local places to stay in the confirmation email when you register, but you can contact us for that list, as well.

Below are the links to the Facebook and Instagram pages dedicated to the ride...updates and information will be posted there, but you, as a participant, will also receive important information regarding ride day by the email you provide us through registration.

Rules and Conduct Expectations

Our goal for this event is to host an incredible day of community and fun on the trail. To maintain that atmosphere, we have series of rules and expectations to keep everyone safe and having fun! It is expected that everyone abide by the rules as listed - these will be presented again on the day of the event and participants must abide by them in order to participate.

So that we can all get there together, please be mindful of the following:

• Helmets are mandatory.

• Basic group riding skills are key.

• Share the road with everyone.

• Be inclusive and friendly.

• Up to Class 1 Bikes - No Class 2 or Class 3 allowed during this ride - Human powered or assisted to Class 1 only

Ride Guidelines—The Basics

• Helmets, properly fitted and in good condition, are mandatory while riding.

• Basic group riding skills, including riding smoothly and predictably, the use of hand signals, and riding in a group are key. You should be comfortable riding around others. Asking questions and studying others always helps, but, ultimately, it’s down to practice, practice, practice.

• Share the trail. There is very seldom any need to fully block the trail. It is almost never necessary to ride more than one rider wide. Traffic will be going both directions on the Mesabi trail!

• Standard road bikes are the best choice for group rides. Class 2 and 3 e-bikes are not allowed. Whatever bike you use, please do not use a TT or “super-tuck” position while in a group. Group riding dynamics require quick, predictable reactions.

• Group rides often stretch out but typically regroup at the top of climbs or at major intersections. Ask if you are unsure where exactly as it can vary based on the route and participants.

• Be self-sufficient. Take care of your equipment. Carry water, food, money, tubes, tools, maps. Our rides are not always no-drop (except the Introductory Ride). If you become separated from the group, you may need to be self-sufficient in making your way home.

• Our ride is designed to be inclusive and friendly. Please always treat others with respect. This includes everyone on the ride and all those with whom we cross paths on the road. We are a community founded in positivity and inclusivity, and our behavior on all rides—solo and group rides—should reflect and reinforce this. Abusive, hateful, or intrusive language or actions will not be tolerated.

Ride Guidelines—The Finer Points

• Recreational means we all have fun.

• Learn and use hand signals which indicate hazards, turning, passing, slowing, approaching vehicles and peds, etc. When in doubt, use your voice.

• If you are inexperienced or uncomfortable riding in a group or a paceline, please let the others know so that they can support you. You’ll need to communicate and manage your personal bubble around other riders.

• At some point everyone is new to a group or a ride and needs to learn the group’s habits. Please introduce yourself and ask question. When in doubt, ride in the group or at the back.

• An intact paceline defines an inclusive and friendly group ride. Ride the pace of the slowest rider, maintain the distance to the rider in front of you, and keep the effort (as opposed to the speed) even at the front. Surging and swarming at the front, while not always unwelcome, defines combative group rides and races.

• Share the road. Road crossings will be managed by volunteers! Be prepared to come to a complete stop. They are there to keep you safe and their call is final. You may cross when they allow you to.

• Be prepared with fuel and hydration. There is one aid station in the middle at Eagles Nest. Please plan accordingly.

• Be self-sufficient. Take care of your equipment. Be sure your electronics are properly charged. Carry water, food, money, tubes, tools, maps. While we strive to keep the group together, our rides are not always no-drop (except the Introductory Ride). If you become separated from the group, you will need to be self-sufficient in making your way home.

• Unfamiliar with a route? Not sure you can keep up? Please let someone know. They will try their best to make sure you know your way home, just in case.

• There are so many Dos and Don’ts. Here is just a sampling:

• Do heed your Ride Leader/s. Ride Leader's will be assigned to you on the day of. They are in charge of pacing.

• Do offer help when it is needed. Follow up only when help is accepted.

• Do call out warnings. Calls such as “Car up” or “Stopping” or “Single-up,” etc., need to be communicated down through the field of riders.

• Do keep pedaling over the top of hills.

• Do follow traffic laws.

• Do look ahead and anticipate.

• Do not stare at the wheel in front of you.

• Do not “half-wheel” or lap wheels.

• Do not wear headphones.

• Do not stand up to pedal when there are riders directly behind you.

• Do not clear your nose in front of anyone.

• Do not touch others.

• Do not drift away from a group without alerting someone.

Introductory Ride

• Introductory Rides are no-drop rides. “No-drop” means no one gets fully separated from the group. The group may occasionally stretch out, but it will regroup.

• Recruit a ride buddy. If you do drop back, your ride buddy will know to look for you.

• Ideally, the group will stay together and arrive at the destination at the same time. Ask the ride leaders to slow the ride down if you cannot keep up.

For Those New to Group Rides

• During group rides there are certain responsibilities expected of both Leaders and Riders. Leaders are responsible—more or less—for being aware of the route and for establishing an agreeable ride pace. Riders are responsible—more or less—for having the equipment, skills and fitness needed to keep pace with the ride.

• If you are having difficulty keeping up, rather than stay at the back, try to stay in the middle of the group. That way, if other riders pass you, you are more likely to stay in or near the group.

• Recruit a ride buddy. If you do drop back, your ride buddy will know to look for you.

• Look ahead by riding just to one side of the rider in front of you. Anticipate what those in front of you will do. Do not stare at the wheel in front of you. That is a sure way to touch wheels.

• Learn to anticipate the pace and be prepared to work harder when the going gets tough. This usually means looking ahead and keeping tabs on the whole group. Then select the right gear, push the pedals harder and/or pedal more quickly when you must. At times it will mean breathing at a rate where it is harder for you to form complete sentences.

• Familiarize yourself with the route. Be prepared for the terrain and mileage of the proposed ride. Ask the group leaders for details, or use any ride app (Strava, Map My Ride, Ride with GPS). Signage does mark the challenging areas and ride volunteers will help direct you at road crossings.
