Sat- urday and Sunday each saw about a dozen riders. This was the biggest turn out OTRA has had in years. Victoria Day weekend ride in the Vivian Forest was well at- tended. There were several day riders on each day. Lester made three trips from Or- angeville (did not have over night camping gear) Friday, Sunday, Monday because he likes the trails in the Vivian so much. That is dedication to trail riding! Another suc- cessful potluck followed by a game of pic- tionary. According to one of our new member's GPS, we rode 12 km in 3 hours on Saturday. The 2018 Fun D Ride is fast approach-
