Club Points Competition
The Club
Points Competition has been voted on and approved.
This competition is meant to be a friendly way to show your support
for the Club’s activities throughout the year and promote a more active
overall club membership. We
have a lot planned this year, including a number of different events
and many of our members will be racing and participating in a number
of DualSport events. Trail work days will be needed through out
the year at Coal Creek and the more people that show up to help, the
easier the work will be.
Plan to
be an active member and we look forward to seeing everyone whenever
they have a chance to come out and go riding and to help out with the
different planned Club events. Thank
you for your support!
