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 keithmenasco@cox.netRead 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 →

As a Club, we have limited ways of creating revenue. One is through the purchase of Club Merchandise. We now have a new hat design. All prices for our hats, shirts, etc are at: https://azatvriders.club/forum/topic/az-atv-riders-club-merchandise/#postid-13. The new hats may be a little higher in cost than what is on our website. John will be at the meeting with the merchandise ready for you to purchase. Send him an email letting him know what you want and the size. John Williams 5109john@bbonnRead More →

Below is an email from from Karen Osburn with the City of Sedona. They are proposing  a city ordinance (DRAFT ATTACHED) to prohibit the use of OHVs within city limits on pavement. I have included her information at the bottom of her note should you have questions for the City of Sedona. At this time Arizona State Parks and Trails will remain neutral on this ordinance. If you have questions or concerns, please let me know and I’ll be happy to assist you.  I have attached the DRAFT of an improper motor vehicle equipment ordinance for your review.  I would like to also extend an invitation to all of youRead More →

If anyone that owns a Baofeng radio or is planning on purchasing a Baofeng radio and needs to have it programmed, I am willing to try programming it. I have the programming cable and program to do so. After programming the radio will have all the GMRS channels needed to ride the trails. Here is a link to Amazon for the Baofeng radio: https://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-UV-82-Power-Radio-Portable/dp/B09495V4QW/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3VPUHOY5U6L3Y&keywords=baofeng+uv82&qid=1675104568&sprefix=baofeng+uv82%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-3 Bob Harper raharper1@gmail.comRead More →

During our ride on Friday March 4th I was asked about the carrier I am using for my Baofeng Radio. I was able to look up the carrier incase others may be interested. The website is mckydex.com or just google Messenger Radio Carrier. It can be used to hook on a belt or as I did mount it directly to my machine. It seems that it will also work for other types of handheld radios. I have the radio with the extended life battery pack, thus the taller carrier. Description:  The Messenger Radio Carrier series contains all of the following features throughout the different modelsRead More →

Rod Moyer shared with me something that seems to really help, especially if you have a plexiglass windshield or ipad screens. The item is: Static Off, Antistatic Foaming Spray by MG Chemicals (https://www.mgchemicals.com/). As we all know, dust is a relentless problem and constantly wiping off a plexiglass windshield may scratch it. So the use of this spray seems to help reducing the dust that collects making it possible to reduce the number of times you need to clean it. Hope this helps! Keith MenascoRead More →
