A big thank you goes out to the United Ride Club for their $500 donation as well as the trail day they did this summer.
Are you interested in shaping the future of our river valley? If so, the city has a couple of opportunities where you can do just that.

The City is beginning a new concept design for the central stretch of the river valley in 2 distinct project areas: Rossdale and the North Shore.A few weeks ago EMBA sat down with Imperial Oil to discuss the parcel of land behind their refinery that connects Edmonton’s river valley to the Strathcona Science Park. Imperial Oil is listening and understands the value of the trail connection to all its users. Currently, they are compiling information about that area to help with their decision.
For now, continued respect for the barriers, fence, and signage posted on their private land is all that we can do. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Thank you for working on gaining access to this valuable connector. In the meantime, the best thing trail users can do to get Imperial Oil on our side is to respect the private land.
Thanks for volunteering your time to do this. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for all the hard work that you do and for keeping us updated!
Thank you for working the official channels! 💜
The section at the south end of Science Park where Wally and Hippy Chicken are. Is that Imperial? Science Park or CN?

What choices do we need to make to be a healthy, urban, and climate resilient city of two million people that supports a prosperous region?Last Thursday, October 10 the F'n Riders completed the last EMBA sponsored bridge project for 2019. A new bridge was built off site to replace the broken one that spanned the drainage ditch on Andre's trail. Thanks guys for giving up a great afternoon to ride and volunteer your time for this project!
Thanks to everyone for attending our Volunteer appreciation BBQ, it was great to see you there. Congratulations to the lucky winners that received one of 10, $50 gift certificates from our local sponsors. All of the leftover food was donated to the Youth Emergency shelter!
We look forward to seeing you all next year on the trails!
So thrilled to have won the $50.00 card to Revolution Cycle! Well, my husband, Neil won it, but he was happy to let me use it to buy a light for my helmet! I’m a lot braver on the trails now!!
It was great to meet some of the other members, and get a T-shirt. I look forward to renewing my membership, and helping a great cause as much as I can in the new year. Keep up the great work!
Hopefully next season I will be able to attend some of these trail sessions, now if my work schedule allows 🍻
The F'n Riders completed the City requested, lower trailhead exit on Snake Back. The new realignment will give all users better sight lines where the singletrack and multi-use trails intersect. Please ride with care.
Awesome, that perpendicular exit was always sketchy on a busy day
Looks good!
A friendly reminder about our upcoming appreciation BBQ for everyone that has helped out this year. Tickets are free and can be signed up for until Friday! Follow www.eventbrite.ca/e/emba-volunteer-appreciation-bbq-october-6-tickets-73737549997?fbclid=IwAR0nst... for the tickets.
2019 has been a busy year, filled with a lot of trail days. To thank our volunteers we are hosting a family friendly Volunteer Appreciation BBQ on October 6th. If you volunteered at any trail day this year, please join us for a hot dog and some snacks as our way to say thank you one more time. There will be some awesome draw prizes for our volunteers too!
Trail day volunteers are welcome to bring a plus one and up to two kids. However, if you don't need your extra tickets, we ask that you please don't reserve them. This will allow us to accommodate more of our 2019 volunteers. You will need a reserved ticket on Eventbrite to attend (no drop ins). Total tickets will be capped based on capacity of our reserved site.
We look forward to seeing you there!
