Ride For The Disabled

[Dave]

The Range Riders ATV Club of Nashwauk, Minnesota, is

hosting a “Ride for the Disabled”, Saturday, August 13,

2005, to exemplify the NEED of the disabled to use ATVs as

a major source of their recreational outdoor pleasures.

PRE-REGISTER BY JULY 23RD for a discount (registration

information below).

In the past, large tracts of public lands and waterways

have been closed to the motorized public by various

agencies, with little or no regard to this segment of our

citizenship. In the late 70’s the Federal Government closed

most of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Voyager’s

National Park to motorized travel with little regard for

the elderly or disabled. More recently, most of the

Chippewa National Forest was closed for ATV travel along

with large sections of the Beltrami State Forest. More and

more trail corridors are being closed to motorized use. We

feel that this trend must stop now. We have initialized

this ride to bring awareness to this simple fact.

THEREFORE:

The Range Riders invite you to ride “Up North” on August

13th. The ride will start from the Nashwauk Recreation

Building at approximately 9 AM. We will ride the entire

Alborn Trail. (over 80 miles, so bring extra gas) There

will be shorter rides for those that do not wish to go that

far. The ride is open to anyone of legal riding age who

owns or has access to an ATV.

There will be camping sites available at the Nashwauk

Campground on a first come, first serve basis. There will

also be primitive camp sites available in different areas

of Nashwauk and Keewatin. The Super 8 motels in Hibbing

and Grand Rapids have offered a discount if you mention the

Ride for the Disabled.

Friday Night check in and registration will be from 5-8PM

at the Nashwauk Rec. Building. There will be a bon-fire

and socializing after registration.

Saturday morning registration and check in will be from

7-9AM. The ride will begin at approximately 9 AM from the

recreation building. We will divide into groups of those

wanting to ride the whole trail, and those that want to

take shorter rides. Time will be allotted for a designated

stop in the Meadowlands area for a “break”.

Following the ride, a pig roast with all the trimmings,

music, cash bar, door prizes and a lot of FUN will be

awaiting you.
