ATV Safety training class:

We have 7 spots still available for the class on Sunday April 19.

Our Spring ATV safety class is Sunday April 19 at 11am in Goodhue.
It is for kids ages 10-15, but the certificate is not valid until they turn 12. They do have to do the online portion and pass that test before coming to our class. To register for the class, please email Paula Wagner at [email protected].
In Minnesota, ATV operators born after July 1, 1987 are required to complete an approved safety course before riding on public lands.

Let's ride with joy and respect the land! With warmer temperatures on the horizon, trail conditions will shift rapidly. Remember, there's no base and the ground isn't frozen, so let's take care to preserve the fields with hay or cover crops. Your safety and consideration for landowners are appreciated, ride safely and give thanks to those who generously share their land with us!

A huge thanks to the Corner Bar and their staff and all the sponsors who donated prizes. ( That list can be seen in the photos).

And thanks to Steve VanDeusen and Jonathan Luhman for talking to landowners in the area and getting permission for a special trail that we could take & grooming a trail yesterday just for our ride. 26 sleds went out on about a 15 mile ride after the show. It was a great ride pretty smooth and mostly snow, a little ice, a little dirt, but awesome!
