Our 2013 Spring Poker run was a record setting successful event!
We do hope that all of you that were here had as much fun or more than we did! Thanks for coming out, and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future! There were 313, well above our previous record set last spring. The weather co-operated beautifully, with a sunny and +16 finish at the tent at the Edgewater Lodge on Sand lake in Kearney. All the prize winners were happy, especially the guy who won BOTH weekend rentals of a very nice house in Kearney that sleeps 8! Congratulations to all the prize winners! The pics below will both link to our Picasa photo album, check those out too! The first is the morning registration, and the second is the on the trail BBQ lunch! We could use more pics of the event, particularly on the trail pics, stucks, anything. If you have any you would like to submit, please, filter them to your best shots, size them down to about 1000 pixels wide, and email me your best stuff at kco4242@hotmail.com we do appreciate the effort!

Help us keep the bush clean!
Please help us keep the bush clean, pack out your trash, and even better, snag something you may find and haul it out too! Every little bit counts! Thank you all!
Thank you to our volunteers!
A BIG thank you to all volunteers who turn out regularly to help us build bridges, clear fallen trees and brush on our trails, haul trash out of the bush, and generally do what it takes to make a serious ATV club function properly! If you are interested in volunteering your time with us out on the trails, or within the club itself, we would like to hear from you! We manage to make the work days in the field fun and rewarding! Please call 705-999-7262, or email customerservice@algonquinwestatv.com to get the ball rolling. We look forward to hearing from you, don't be shy! |
Our Fall Rally was a blast!
We had an outstanding turnout for our Rally, even with the bad weather for days before, and the brutal forecast. Fortunately, the ATV gods gave us much of the day fairly dry, the sun even poked out for us at times. The wet weather the days before left plenty of sloppy mud for us to enjoy, and made the trails considerably more challenging, it sure makes washing our muddy bikes more fun after such a great ride! The prize pool was full of amazing prizes, and we would like to thank all contributors to the prize tables! We also want to thank all the riders that turned out, and all the volunteers that made it all possible! We look forward to seeing everyone at the Spring Rally, and stay tuned, because we may have some exciting new announcements regarding the Spring Rally! To see pics, follow this link and select Fall Rally 2012!
