A STORM IS BREWING BUT WE ARE STILL PLANNING TO GET OUT AND PARTICIPATE IN OUR WINTER WALKING PROGRAM!!!!
STAYED TUNED TO ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS....
CB HOPPERS ARE ANXIOUS TO GET OFF THE COUCH AND GET ACTIVE!
The CBIH Volkssport Club's first Group Guided Event for 2014 will take place on Sunday 16 February at Mira Provincial Park located off the Brickyard Road in Albert Bridge.
As long as weather conditions remain with lots of snow on the ground, this will be a snowshoe event (SK) through the Provincial Park using the trails and roads that abound in this unique park situated along the Mira River.
XC-skis are permissible.
Note: the trail and roads may not be suitable without snowshoes, anyone wanting to simply walk may have to complete the 5 or 10k event along the Brickyard Road.
Participants should come prepared with snowshoes, carry a warm drink (thermos) and dress for the elements.
Please be prepared for any type of weather at this time of year
