Here’s an interesting event put on by [Our HRM Alliance](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Our-HRM-Alliance/118787458225993), they are riding the Old St Margarets Bay Road, Sunday Aug 9 at 10:00. [https://www.facebook.com/events/1712207155676431/](https://www.facebook.com/events/1712207155676431/) On another note it seems that riding Jimmy’s Roundtop is technically illegal as it is in a Wilderness Protected Area. Does anyone ever ride there anymore? ---

Is the ride on the 8th the same one that there’s the talk about RCMP and ticketing cyclists riding two abreast? ---

Much of the Jimmy’s Roundtop loop is outside of or excluded from the Wilderness Protected Area as can be seen on the map at the bottom of this page: [http://www.smatva.ca/WPA.html](http://www.smatva.ca/WPA.html). I still ride there occasionally. The signs don’t say no bikes and I don’t feel bad about it since ATVs are allowed (via permit). ---

@riderx, I think that was the WBL Wednesday night Jambro ride. Lots of commentary on the WBL FB page about that. No tickets last night, but it seems the group has a local ‘fan’ who has been making noise. A little scary, actually. ---

The 8th is a Saturday 😄 ---

Fixed. Sunday Aug 9, Good eye! Time and dates don’t mean that much to me so it’s an easy slip on my part. ---
