This is it! Last day to get your early bird TMA. Stop by the Swiss Farm Market (aka Pittstop) or get it online and be sure to select our club when ordering. Prices will go up if you buy after today. And you know we’ll get more snow!
Also remember, season starts tomorrow, but trails do not open tomorrow. We will post when trails open after we have enough snow.
If you enjoy riding the trails over the winter, please take some time to volunteer over the next few weeks to help get trail markers and posts out on the trails. It is never to early to get your kids out there as well! Conner at 2.5 helped re-deck a bridge yesterday! He may not have done the best job nailing in the nails, but he did great giving out nails to anyone who needed them.
If you are able to help, just reach out to us at info@tweedvalleytravelers, send us a message on facebook or email Dot directly (dotw7@aol.com). Work is done every weekend and even days during the week. We’ll post as we can, but you can always reach out if you have time and can help. Without volunteers, we’d have no trails. Thanks!
You can get your TMA in the Swiss Farm Market (aka Pittstop) and directly from Dot. Dot can also take care of mailing them to you if you are not going to be in town prior to the start of the season to get your early bird TMA. In addition, you can get them online, just be sure to choose Tweed Valley Travelers as your club!
As mentioned in previous posts, the reroute to services from the west/south has been put on hold. We do not have permission to access services using this section of proposed trail. Do not ride off trail, even if you see tracks.
The only way to access services is from the North via RD 2. Leaving services also needs to be to the North towards RD 2. We are working on a solution and will post an update if/when we have one. If you are coming from Chittenden or other points west, this is approximately an 11-15 mile detour depending on where you are approaching from so plan accordingly.
Our trails will be open today. Please ride on marked trails only. I believe there may be an issue with the re-routed trail to services, so please do not ride any unmarked trails. I’ll post an update as soon as I get it. Most gates have been opened, but some still need to be opened. If you come across a closed gate, do not bypass it, turn around. Thanks and safe riding!
Winter is approaching and we always need help. We’ve got some trail re-routes to do this year as well as the usual staking. If you are able to help, please get in touch with Dot directly or email us at info@tweedvalleytravelers.com and we’ll get you Dot’s info. She’s ready to have help Mon-Sun!

In addition, there’s still work to be done to get things ready. Please email Dot if you can help – she does work on the trails 7 days a week and is always looking for help as having just one or two people help cuts the amount of work tremendously. You also get added to the list to be in the drawing for a volunteer TMA for next season.
