| Item: | Discussion: | Action |
| Spruce Woods Ride Review | -Angela reported that the ride went well, no one got lost and things ran smoothly despite two other large groups camping at the Equestrian campground. -The BBQ after the ride was an excellent idea and was very well received as it brought all the participants together for a time of relaxation and socializing. | |
| Birds Hill Ride Update | -There are 22 competitive and 2 non competitive riders entered (12 riders doing the 25-mile ride and 10 doing the 15). -Two water barrels will be placed at the red and pink trails by Nimowin Road and 2 more by the Hazelnut trail. -Kari will ask Darice to let the Park know when and where the barrels will be placed. -Kari will send the free GPX app to registered riders so that they can download the maps on their phones and/or Garmins.

First riders leave at 8 a.m.. | Kari Kari |
