I am thinking about an extended trip in April. My Guide to AZ Backroads …. Book has several trails in close proximity south of Oracle, on the Coronado National Forest. Has anyone ridden there? Looks to be a good winter place to camp and ride. Let me know if anyone knows this area and would like to see the Club do a campout here. Keith Menasco [email protected]Read More →

Our Christmas Party was a Success!  We all owe our thanks to Teresa McPherson and her crew, April Palagi, Deborah Branch, and Jill Brown, for doing such a great job of decorating and running the festivities where so many gifts were given away. Also, a special thanks to Tom Murphy for being the emcee for the evening. Of course we are also very thankful for those who donated prizes that were given away. Now that our Christmas Party has passed, we must all turn our attention to renewing your membership, if you haven’t already, and recruiting members for our Board of Directors.  Please consider joiningRead More →

I wish that everyone could have attended our General Meeting. Rick Brunner, an EMT Instructor talked about what we can do if we encounter an emergency while driving in the back country. He provided the list below that he recommends that we carry with us. If not all of it, at least this will give you good guidance on some items to pull together for an emergency bag. Rick informed us that all of this is available on Amazon. If there are some who are interested in a more intensive first aid classes, especially for CPR training, send me an email and I can helpRead More →

I have gotten a lot of questions on how to use GAIA. I made my first attempt to do a basic “how to” video that shows how to download a track to your computer, how to import it into GAIA and then how to make sure it is on your ipad or phone when you do your next ride. If you think this helped you, let me know and I will do more of these. You can find this video on GAIA at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MgBLZof5mo&t=180s. I would be interested to know if this helps anyone. Keith Menasco [email protected]Read More →

During our last General Meeting Tom Murphy brought to our attention a very exciting new trail that is being developed that will be similar to the “Peace Trail” but, in the higher elevations of eastern Arizona. It is called the Arizona Alpine Trail (https://azalpinetrail.com/). The trail is in its beginning stages and will take a while. I am sure volunteers will be needed. I know, I for one, am very excited about this. Keith MenascoRead More →
