For the 2024/25 riding season RSC is working hard to re-route as many problem areas as possible for the purpose of maximizing trail availability. In additional to bridge maintenance, efforts involve rerouting wet areas that are difficult to groom to dryer areas that can be groomed in a more predicable manner. The weekend of Dec 14/2024 will see the RSC volunteers working on the opening a new trail to the Rideau River to join the Osgoode Club trails.

The following reroutes/upgrades are complete for the 2024/2025 riding season:

- RSC# 55 has been rerouted into a bush area and open fields and thus no longer crosses Pierce Rd.

- RSC # 51 Has been rerouted and no longer crosses Stevens Creek. As such, the Alt#51 trail has been closed as it is no longer required.

- The "A" Trail east of 3rd Line Rd has been upgraded and no longer goes through swamp; a new trail has been established through the bush to open field and then onto the Rideau river.

Improvements have also been made to the Trail 53, at McConnell Rd also in the Long Bush area.

Trail maintenance, bridge refurbishing and brushing are continuing commitments since RSC is responsible for 140KM of trails and 12 bridges. Approximately 50% of our trail system is located on private property including substantial farmlands so landowner requests for minor movements of trails to accommodate specialty crops are common. Most projects are completed in late fall.

For 2019/2020 season, RSC embarked on three projects.

RSC received funding through UCSR Mini Development Grant program to help with the cost of replacing the 20-plus year old bridge on trail RSC52 and this project was completed in October, 2019.

Executive members finalized a route with Landowners to build a trail to the NEW Ultramar gas station/Tim Hortons drive-thru on Roger Stevens Drive in Kars. This included the building of a new bridge. Trail is ready to open once we receive enough snow.
