Michigan OHV Club Earns a Grant and Uses Funds to Build a Safer Connector Trail
The Keweenaw ATV Club in Michigan used its grant from the Right Rider Access Fund to build a connector that makes it safer to travel from a trailhead to the Eagle Harbor Trail. The club received RRAF funding to help with keeping trails well maintained and open. "The RRAF grant is hugely appreciated," said Daryl St. John, club president. "Without the grant we would not have this safe connector trail."
Colorado Motorcycle Club Earns a Grant, Buys Riding Gear, Preps New Coaches
The Central Colorado Mountain Riders used its grant from the Right Rider Access Fund to help purchase seven sets of riding gear for beginners, enroll two board members in a Motorcycle Safety Foundation DirtBike School coach prep, and rent fairground facilities for training.
In addition to the prep for the CCMR board members, the club also paid for training three more members and one U.S. Forest Service employee, plus an RRAF banner for display. The club supports rider education and plans to use the DirtBike School coaching certifications to help new motorcyclists in the area.
Quiet Warrior Racing Earns a Grant, Aims to Create New OHV Park in California
Quiet Warrior Racing aims to use its grant from the Right Rider Access Fund to acquire land and create a new state vehicular recreation area in Northern California's Pentacola Ranch.
"I strongly believe that any new unit added to the SVRA system should be viewed as a legacy park that incorporates modern trail design features and facilities that reflect our commitment to sustainable OHV recreation – and sited in an area not subject to urban encroachment to help ensure long-term access for current and future generations," said Don Amador, Quiet Warrior Racing president. "I think the Pentacola Ranch is an excellent candidate and we are very grateful for the generous $25,000 dollar grant from the Right Rider Access Fund."
Coalmont OHV Park Earns a Grant, Repairs Trails, and Fights Erosion in Tennessee
The team at the Coalmont OHV Park in Tennessee used its grant from the Right Rider Access Fund to rent an excavator for a month, buy fuel, and purchase drainage tunnels to stop erosion and repair damage on some of the area's most-used trails.
"With the grant, we installed fifteen culverts and worked fifteen miles of trail, installing water bars, rolling dips, and silt traps," said Roger Theurer, volunteer project coordinator/supervisor for heavy equipment trail maintenance at the park. "Our team at the Coalmont OHV Park and our enthusiasts are grateful for the RRAF grant. It allowed the repair of a large number of our trails, providing a much more enjoyable ride for our users and more environmentally friendly trails. The park has been open less than a year, and most of our trails are old logging and rock-harvesting roads that were eroding and rutted."
