2024-02-15 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | Zoom, Canada
The AGM date has arrived and we look forward to seeing everyone, virtually, this evening at 700 PM.

Craig Harriott for Alberta Forestry and Parks will be joining us to talk about the Trail Management Plan that was recently signed by UROC and the Alberta Government. We’ll have updates on everything from previous trail work to planned trail work, planned events for 2024, and beyond. There will be prizes!
We will be electing three board positions this evening and we currently have five names nominated, with a potential sixth. That means that unless things change in the next few hours, we will be having a vote. The voting link will be sent out in the zoom meeting when the time comes. This voting poll will not allow multiple votes from the same device. So, if you have family members or friends in the same household that wish to attend, please join the meeting from your individual computers/phones, so that we can have an appropriate attendance and you can each register a vote for your choice.
Finally, we have a special presentation by Gord Yanota on the immense contributions of Troy Misseghers to the Crowsnest community and bike scene.
The zoom link, below, will be posted to the UROC website and Social Media accounts this afternoon. You do not need to be “registered” to join the meeting, that simply helps us confirm that we will meet our quorum and not have to schedule a second gathering. Please note the Passcode in bold.
Thanks and see you this eve,

Poker Ride
2026-06-28 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Denver)
On June 28th, UROC is hosting our annual Poker ride @ Pass Powderkeg.

This is a self directed, fun day out on the bike, best enjoyed with friends! There will be a kids (U12) course and an adult course.

The idea of the Poker Ride format is to ride to some chosen checkpoints on the Pass Powderkeg trail network in whatever order you want, taking a selfie/group photo as proof. Once you have reached all the checkpoints, you return back to the lodge and we will deal you a poker hand. There will be prizes for best hands, etc.
