I heard back from 2 people from Itasca County officials and here is the latest and greatest report: work is continuing but they’re behind a little; the full phase one part of the trail they expected to be complete right now isn’t and won’t be ’till this fall (if it continues as planned).
As I look at the maps and read the information available, phase 1 is the most important part for us up north! When phase 1 is complete, we can leave from Pengilly and ride all the way to McGregor. I got some pretty good email back from the county people so if you want more info shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you!
When this trail is done I WILL be on it! I’m gonna make a weekend out of it and leave from Pengilly, stay in Aitkin for the night and come back the next day! See you on the trails!
The NEW CAN_AM COMMANDER SIDE X SIDE IS OUT!
Anyone else so the new Commander by Can-am yet? Even comes with a 1000cc engine! I have a link for you and its awesome! Lots of videos, showes yellow and Camo but haven’t seen the red yet in a real picture. We want one and by wife’s machine is up for sale for the deposit. They won’t be in till September but that when I do alot of riding.
It’s been a busy early summer with Grad Parties and Work so I haven’t been riding much but looking at facebook and the other networks everyone else has been enjoying the Summer. Check out the new Side X Side and I’ll update you on our next ride! If you plan on attending the ATVAM Fall Convention in Nashwauk and you need any help with the area, let me know!!!
I’ll be attending the ATVAM ATV fair at the Anoka County Fairgrounds on May 1 & 2 with the Iron Range Tourism Bureau. The fair runs from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. on the 1st and from 9-4 on the 2nd.
The ATVAM ATV Fair features many top manufacturers, vendors & sponsors selling accessories, clothes & great riding gear. New this year will be the Used ATV Corral & you can even test your “dream” machine on the test course!
PLUS, be sure to check out the side-by-side mud races by the Northwoods Racing series. This will be the season opener for the 2010 Northwoods Racing series.
Whatever brings you to the fair, be sure to stop by the Iron Range booth and say “hi.” I’d love to know who actually reads this thing & who knows, maybe we can even set-up a ride on the Iron Range with your group this spring or summer!
There will be an ATV ride in memory of Edward John Walberg Jr., whose life was tragically taken this past week in Chisholm, on March, 13th at 12 p.m. For anyone who would like to attend, we will meet at Tom & Jerry’s, 201 W Lake St., Chisholm, MN.
If anyone is interested in joining or just want to come see whats going on in the local ATV world? The club is always looking for new people and new ideas!!!
The Northern Traxx monthly meeting is Monday, November 30, at Tom & Jerry’s in Chisholm at 6:30pm.
There is a lot going on with our new trail that we hope to start building this coming spring!
We also have a cash 50/50 Raffle going on right now, tickets are $5 with 600 total tickets being sold. Prizes are 1 - $500, 2 - $250’s, and 5 - $100’s.
For everyone that attended or followed the news stories about the World Record ATV Parade in Silver Bay this summer, the number is official! 1632 ATV’S! It was a great weekend and one to brag about.
The down side? It sparked a lot of interest all across the United States with ATV enthusiasts……. On September 16th in Richfield, Utah, they had a parade with they say the had 2014 ATV’s attend and are waiting for that number to be Official! As of now Minnesota has the record, it’s already rumored that ATVAM is already talking about and strategizing about the next MINNESOTA RECORD.
Finally a list of ATV trails located near many businesses throughout the region & a few Iron Range businesses made the list!
As I look through the list I see a handful Iron Range hotels, motels, resorts,campgrounds, trails, etc, but there are a lot that didn’t make the list. Now, I’m not sure why they didn’t, but that’s why I’m here! To HELP YOU!
If you’re planning an ATV trip to the Iron Range and need any help at all please ask me!
If our schedules gel, I’d even be willing to give you a guided ride on some of my favorite hidden trails that aren’t necessarily on the map….
Now, let’s get out and ride!
From the ATVAM office:
Hello ATVAM Members!
Did you know that many ATVAM lodging & camping business members have trail access or are very close to one? Are you making plans now to see autumn’s brilliant colors from an ATV Trail?
The following is a list of ATVAM Business Lodging/Camping Members:
The final numbers for the ATV Pull show about 125 people through the gates. That’s a great turn out and exactly what we were hoping for being it was the first time for the event. We had 29 racers total. The 0-550 class was won by a Polaris 500, 0-699 class was won by a Can-am 650, 0-1000 class was won by a Can-am 800, Side X Side class winner was a Yamaha Rhino 660, and a lady on a Can-am 500 won the powder puff class. I have a few pictures here and I’ll get everyone the link to the youtube video and a list of all the winners soon as I get it!
Everyone had a great time and lots of people said they just came to watch this year but will be back next year with their atv’s! Jim’s Sports Bar and Grill had an Awesome BBQ and beer for everyone. I think our ATV Club even gained a few members after seeing how much fun we all had with a day of ATV’s. Hope to see everyone next year! For more info please get ahold of me!
Everyone brags, “My machine has more power than yours!”
We’ll find out on Saturday!
