10/23 and 10/24/23 - We will be appearing before the Select Boards of Milford and Bradley to request authorization to make Route 178 a legal Access Road, thus we will connect those two towns with a long sought after connector link. Final approval is still required from MDOT.

10/07/23 - Our planned Poker Run was cancelled as it takes 30 days to receive state approval and we did not allot enough time to make this happen. Next year, however, we may have two of them!
09/30/23 - We had our second Full Moon night ride September 30. The ride started at 7:00pm. We rode for 90+ minutes. The moon was hiding behind fire haze and low clouds until near the end of the ride, but we saw it plenty then. Nice ride.

monies we spend on trail maintenance. We are grateful to the Penobscot County Commissioners -
our Municipal partner/sponsor - for working with us on this venture.

06/09/23 - We are thankful for our local business partner Alexander’s Mechanical Solutions who have agreed to
let us use their gravel parking lot as a Park & Ride location, on the weekends. With the number of
employees they have and with trucks coming and going during the weekday hours, we decided that
park & ride on weekends only was best for both of us.
06/06/23 - We requested and received approval from the Milford Select Board authorization to raise the Access Road Speed Limit from 15mph to 25mph on County and Call Roads where there are no sidewalks. Similarly, roads maintained by Penobscot County have now been approved for an increase to 25mph
as well. However, roads in Hancock County (Myra Road for last 1.5miles+ and the gravel road into
Nicatous) remain at 15mph per our permission agreement with Hancock County.

Also we had two raffles for donated items that included a lightly-used chainsaw, value $150, donated by Avery Saw Shop, and a cornhole like bean bag toss and beverage tub combo, donated by Mike and Jen Cribbin. We also served up PLENTY of food and drinks. Fun time by all.

An emergency public meeting was held at the clubhouse to discuss total club dissolve and possible all trail closures or revitalize with new Officer volunteers. We had SIX volunteers step up to fill the positions of President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Trail Master and assistant Trail Master. THANK YOU ALL for keeping RMTR alive!
