Iron Range ATV Pull was Awesome!

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!

The FACTS clears it up for YAMAHA!!!

Anyone else see the story on CBS about the YAMAHA RHINO???

All I could do is shake my head and wait for the truth to come out (and it just did).  See here: http://truthaboutrhino.com/index.php/breaking-news/.

I love how many lies it takes to put together a five minute story that’s laughable at best!  These people are in the same boat as the people that thought they could sue because the COFFEE was HOT but it didn’t say so on the CUP, get over it people!!!

I invite you to read the facts from Yamaha and come to your own conclusion.

Northern Traxx ATV club receives Grant from Yamaha Access Initiative

atv-cliff-rue1

Northern Traxx ATV Club in Chisholm, Minn.,  is pleased to announce that they’ve been approved for and have received a trail grant from the Yamaha OHV Access Initiative in the amount of $10,000.

The money will be used toward wetland delineation costs and to purchase wetland credits for any areas that maybe impacted.  Northern Traxx ATV Club has been working on developing a 10 mile ATV trail for 4+ years, the trail will start in Chisholm and travel north approx 10 miles to the Highway 5 Bar & Grill.

News of the grant couldn’t have come at a better time for Northern Traxx ATV Club as the Minnesota construction season is just getting under way. Northern Traxx ATV club has pending grants with the Minnesota DNR trails program and the federal trail program, the timing of the Yamaha Grant will allow Northern Traxx to move even closer to the actual construction stage of the project.

Northern Traxx ATV Club wants to send out a HUGE “thank you” to the Yamaha Corporation, Yamaha OHV Access Initiative committee, City of Chisholm, DNR, Cliff Rue Motors and all the local businesses and people helping to move the project ahead!

Spring Ride Near Virginia/Gilbert

Spring is arguably some of the best riding of the YEAR on the Iron Range.  I have pictures to prove it!!!

This time of year is awesome out on the trails, low maintenance roads, old mine and logging roads, etc.  Depending on the area you usually end up with six inches (or so) of water and the mud is still frozen underneath, allowing you to get places you sometimes can’t get to in summer or fall months.  This ride started in Virginia, heading south into Gilbert and ending up down by by K&B Drive In (south of Eveleth).

I want to here about your Iron Range riding hot spots!

Oh, and thanks for the pictures, Stacey!

Stay tuned for AWESOME news from Northern Traxx ATV Club and Yamaha Corporation!
