I encourage everyone to use GPS when they are riding. I use an Ipad but all you really need is your phone. I use my phone as a backup to my ipad. It helps to be able to mount your phone but, you don’t have to. I know of two kinds of GPS, GAIA gps, http://gaiagps.com and OnX Offroad ,https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/app . I started with GAIA and will continue to use it, but OnX has a lot of good qualities and many of our members use it. I also subscribe to OnX. The introductory free version is not very helpful so you will need to subscribeRead More →

When the Board discussed conflicts between members we wondered why there was not a Code of Conduct that every member would consent to when they joined the Club or when they renewed their membership. We drafted a Code of Conduct and we are sending it out to all of our members to review and let us know if changes need to be made. Below is a draft Code of Conduct for your review: Keith Menasco – President ATV & CAMPING CODE OF CONDUCT Purpose Our club promotes safe, responsible, and respectful ATV/UTV riding and camping.

Bill Haney has not been able to go with us on rides because he is dealing with throat cancer and is currently going through radiation and chemotherapy. He is doing the best he can. He is looking forward to getting over this and getting back out on rides again. In the meantime, he is keeping busy and is working on his machine and wanted to share some photos of a recent steering wheel modification, that he has completed for his Teryx KRX1000. The wheel on the left is stock KRX1000 and the wheel on the right is from a 2024 Kawasaki Ridge. A real niceRead More →

I see that the Ambassador Program is ramping back up for those interested, https://azstateparks.com/arizonas-ohv-ambassadors. I also wanted to refer you to Arizona’s State Parks & Trails, Off-Highway Vehicle Program, https://azstateparks.com/ohv. If you have questions on licensing requirements this is a good source of information. You can download the AZ Off-Highway Vehicle Guide, which has a wealth of current information, from this site. Hope to see everyone out on the trail! Keith MenascoRead More →
