A special place created for ATV riders

 

SPRAGUEVILLE — Area ATV owners have a new place to ride their vehicles. River Ridge Trails, a scenic 10-mile course overlooking the Maquoketa River, is now open in Spragueville.

Steve Tebbe, who also owns Whispering Meadows Resort on the same property, created the trail to provide area ATV enthusiasts a place to use their vehicles safely and legally.

“In the state of Iowa, it is a challenge to find a place to ride an ATV,” Tebbe said. “This whole area, between here and Dubuque, there’s really no place to ride your bike.”

According to Tebbe, it is illegal to ride an ATV for recreational purposes on a public roadway in the state of Iowa.

“If I didn’t own this property here, I would have to ride my ATV in my back yard,” Tebbe said. “This is just a wooded area, not good for anything else really, so I thought, why don’t I just open it up and make it a place to ride.” For more on this story please visit www.clintonherald.com

Connecticut, the dead zone for ATV riders

 

Connecticut's tourism Web site at ctvisit.com brags that the state has 137 state parks, 800 miles of hiking trails and 230 lakes. It boasts of numerous outdoor activities ranging from biking, boating and horseback riding to fishing, golfing and even hot air ballooning. But nowhere does it tout ATV or dirt bike riding.

That's because there is no state land specifically set aside for ATVs or off-road dirt bikes ��” despite the fact the legislature passed a law in 1986 requiring that the Department of Environmental Protection "shall make available" state property for off-road riding.

After 21 years of waiting, the Connecticut Motorsports Business Association is going on the offensive on behalf of dealers and the extremely frustrated off-road riding community.

"We are the only form of transportation that does not have space to ride," said Lewis Davidson of Old Lyme, president of the CMBA, who sent a letter to DEP commissioner Gina McCarthy on November 14 requesting answers to off-road enthusiasts most obvious questions.

In the letter, which D.E.P. acknowledged receiving on Wednesday morning, Davidson diplomatically asked that McCarthy to notify him "as to what land is currently available for such use" and further inquired "��-has any land in Connecticut been designated for such use at any time during the past 21 years?"

Davidson already knows the answers, and so does Jerry Shinners, administrator of the New England Trail Riders Association, who lives in Collinsville. For more on this story please visit www.rep-am.com

"There is nothing. Essentially there is no legal place for ATVs to ride or ATV-plated motorcycles (dirt bikes)," said Shinners.

The trail system at the Thomaston Dam in Thomaston ��” the only spot in the state dedicated to dirt bikers ��” doesn't count because it is on federal land managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Seminars tackle ATV driver safety

 

GREENSBORO — Three seminars on driving a ll-t errain v ehicles are being offered Saturday, just in time for the holiday season when most ATVs are sold.

State law requires that anyone younger than 18 graduate from a half-day, hands-on ATV rider course approved by the ATV Safety Institute before driving an ATV.

Between 2002 and 20 05, there were 103 deaths in North Carolina from ATV accidents, according to a Greensboro Police Department news release. Of those, many were younger than 16.

"That's just not acceptable," Greensboro Detective Kevin Bennett said. "With our program, no one will be left behind. Everyone who should be trained will be trained, and then we should immediately see those statistics drop."

Until now, law enforcement officials say, there have been too few classes and only a few certified instructors in North Carolina.

The seminars are the first part of a state pilot program to train ATV drivers.

Each seminar is free and open to the public. Members of North Carolina 4-H, the Guilford County Sheriff's Office and the Greensboro Police Department will discuss the state's ATV law, the training required before using an ATV, advice on proper safety equipment and legal limits on engine size and the rider's age.
