Bridgton Easy Riders
BRIDGTON — Apparently not enough of you have been doing your snow dance! It seems that the whole state lacks enough snow or safe ice covering on the lakes, for us to enjoy our chosen winter sport. The Bridgton Easy Riders work crews have shown up in big numbers every Sunday morning and this month they rebuilt the bridge behind the Bridgton Chamber of Commerce. They also did more brushing on the South Bridgton trail. They have also fabricated and painted the new drag to replace an old one that was built about 15 or 18 years ago. It was been done at about a quarter of the cost of a decent used drag. Work will now begin on refurbishing the older drags. The BER Club has surpassed 120 members for perhaps the first time in history! We will have to check the records when the time is right. We were also notified that our club sold more Super Raffle Tickets that any club in Maine! Can you say WOW! Duane Hendrix has agreed to work on nominations, as he did last year. Thanks Duane, for your continued service to the club. Once the Covid settles down, the club will plan an April Meeting outside, so we can vote for club officers and make plans for the summer and the future. But no club activities or meetings will be planned for the next couple of months. In the meantime, stay vertical and stay healthy! I hope we can meet on the trails. Now go out and do your best snow dance. We need all the help we can get!
