Freedom Cycle and Annual Meeting
The NHOHVA Safety Trailer attended the Freedom Cycle Open house that on May 31, 2008.
 
The event was well attended and had great weather.
 
The safety trailer made some great contacts with the Meat House and MeadowBrook US Cellular Pavilion, both would like to have the NHOHVA Safety Trailer and Display at their upcoming events.
 
Thanks to Freedom Cycle for having us at the event and continuing to be a great supporter of NHOHVA Safety.  They let us use a brand new Can Am 90 for our display on both Saturday and Sunday at our annual meeting.

On Sunday we had our annual meeting, the NHOHVA Safety Trailer and Display was in attendance.  We displayed materials from the 2008 NOHVCC Conference in Mew Mexico and was able to show the display to the local police chief and sergeant.  They were impressed with the display and appreciative of the safety materials.
 
Thanks to New Durham ATV Club for hosting the meeting cooking lunch and great trails for the ride.  The food was great!

Feds Rule Winter OHRV Use of Rail Trails Not Permitted
03/03/08

( Concord , NH ) The Division of Parks and Recreation, Bureau of Trails announces that due to a ruling from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), winter use by wheeled Off Highway Recreational Vehicles (OHRV) on the following State owned recreational rail trails is now prohibited effective immediately:

· Conway Branch (Ossipee-Conway)

· Northern (Boscawen-Lebanon)

· Farmington (Farmington-Rochester)

· Cheshire (North Walpole-Fitzwilliam)

· Ashuelot (Keene-Winchester)

· Fort Hill ( Hinsdale )

· Monadnock (Jaffrey-MA state line)

· Manchester/Lawrence (Salem-Windham)



The recreational management practice allowing wheeled OHRV on these trails in the winter came into question following legislative changes in 2006. DRED asked the FHWA for clarification on the appropriate use related to the federal funds used to purchase these corridors. The State requested a waiver citing current use. The FHWA responded that this use is not consistent with the intent of these purchases. The Bureau of Trails intends to comply with the FHWA immediately and will be posting new signs indicating the revised designated use over the next week. All local law enforcement agencies will be notified of this change.

The Bureau of Trails is a part of the NH Division of Parks & Recreation. The Division manages 70 state parks, thousands of miles of trails, campgrounds, historic sites and natural waysides and is part of the Department of Resources and Economic Development. For more information about trails in NH state parks, please call 603/271-3254 or visit our website at www.nhtrails.org
