Guided Trail Tours
Would you like to go for an ATV ride?
North East Wisconsin Riders Inc. ATV Club guided
trail rides is the most popular event. We rotate throughout our area selecting
trails, planning out routes and simply mixing things up a bit - just to use the
excuse "its time to ride!!!". Either way its a chance to get outdoors and
experience some of Wisconsin's most excellent ATV trails.
How do guided trail rides work?
Riding in a group is no different than riding with
your friends, with some minor exceptions.
To start with, we simply determine how many drivers
are participating. Everyone in the group goes over some simple trail guidelines
and safety points. As well as hand signals used by the trail boss and you as the
driver in the group.
We make sure each driver knows how many other ATV's
are behind and in front of him/she machine. This is important, as we do not want
anyone to feel they will get lost. The safety member checks each drivers machine
for loose items, ties downs, head protection for children and proper
registration.
Once the trail boss signals, the drivers start their
machines and the trail boss sets the pace for the ride; at which time we ask
each driver to stay in line and maintain no less than a 15 foot distance between
machines. The safety member takes up the last position in the group.
The trail boss will use hand signals to tell the
group riders when to go and stop or if danger is ahead. In addition the group
makes frequent stops at trail gates and crossings. The group does not continue
on until everyone in the group is accounted for and the safety member signals to
continue.
Sounds scary? It's not... group riding is the best
way to learn how the ATV trails of Wisconsin are set-up. Riding together as a
group helps you to feel more comfortable with the outdoors, the trail signs and
your machine.
And it's fun!!!
