2022 Spring Ride
Our 2022 Spring Ride on the UPM Blandin Trail is currently in the planning stages.
There were lots of rider to enjoy the spring weather and the magnificent trails weaving throughout the blandin forests. The timing was perfect as the whole group enjoyed damp trails in the morning to keep the dust down. Hill City welcomed our group with their aTV friendly city and great facilities for food and fuel!
Thanks to everyone that join the fun!

Keeping Itasca County Clean
(At least our little part of it)
Another successful event for the Rapids Riders ATV Club. the weather wasn't too promising for a clean up crew to venture out...rain and wind! However, by early afternoon the sun came out, and it warmed up nicely. The wind was still a factor, but if you help your bag just right, it helped keep it open and ready for trash!
Here are a few pics of the 5:30 original crew, but more showed up as we got to work. In less than an hour, both sides of the road in the 2 miles stretch assigned to us were picked up and we left a nice pile of bags at the Driftskipper's intersection for DOT to pick up.
Thanks to everyone who helped out, and especially to Cathy McLynn for getting us the safety vests and trash bags.
