12th Annual Winter Dinner Ride
On Saturday, January 3, 2015, Snow Shoe
Rails to Trails & Best Line Powersports held it's 12th Annual
Winter Dinner Ride. The weather was cold along with freezing rain in the
early morning. However, that didn't prevent some 116 dedicated SSRT
Members from attending the Roast Beef Dinner. The meal was prepared by
Ruth Martin, Trilby Mayes, Mark Watson. Jim Verost added a large pot of
his exceptional Chili. It was fantastic as usual!! George Holt handled
the SSRT applications while Lyn & Shawn Timblin handled the
meal/door prizes. rip offs etc. Shawn Timblin won the 50/50 and donated
it back to the club. We also want to thank Lyn Timblim for donating the
rip offs. Andy Basalla won $150.00 on the rip offs and donated $50.00
back to the SSRT.
We had an added attraction to the Winter Dinner Ride this year as CMATVA/Best Line Powersports held it's first Dice Run in conjunction with the Winter Dinner Ride. They had 58 people sign up for the Dice Run.
We want to thank our Corporate Sponsor Best Line Powersports, Mike Getz, Fred, JP for their continued support of this event and the trail.
We also want to thank the Centre Daily Times for covering the event and especially reporter Brittany Milazzo for great article. We also want to thank the Centre County Probation Office for the help preparing the center before, during and after the event. On Friday, January 2, we also collected a pickup load of trash along the Snow Shoe Township highways.
The SSRT would like to thank Beth Watson and the Moshannon Community Center Organization for their help before, during and after the event!

Trail Notices
TRAIL NOTICES
Kato Bridge Replacement Project:
The Snow Shoe Township Supervisors have advised the SSRT that the first phase of the project was awarded to a contractor. The contractor is responsible for tearing down the bridge and repairing concrete pillars. Phase two of the project to replace the bridge will be placed out for bids after phase one is completed.
Gas Line Project on Kato Road:
Snow Shoe Supervisors have alerted the SSRT that a new gas line will be laid on parts of the Kato Road starting in 2015. We have been advised that there may be some delays and possibly a day or so of road closings at various times during this project. But road closings will be kept to a minimal and the SSRT will be notified of road closings so we can post them on our website and facebook page. We were initially advised that there will be no weekend work. But, keep checking our website and we will try to keep you abreast of the project.
Gas Line Crossing Near Clarence Gate:
A new gas line will be installed this next summer about 100 yards up the trail from the Clarence Gate towards the Number 10 Gate. They will be crossing the trail only. We will receive a two week notice prior to any digging and the trail should only be shut down for a short time. Of course that is if there are no problems with installation of the lines etc. Signs will be placed on both ends of the ditch area being dug to alert trail users. Then a fence will be installed on both sides of the trail to stop unwanted access. This should only be a day or two job because the gas company is only crossing the trail. Keep up to date with projects by checking our website www.ssrt.org and our facebook page. Thank you all for your patience during all of this construction. The construction project will not take place on the weekend.
