Belair ATV Club

Out for a ride to Jackfish creek. Looks a bit low compared to the summer pictures

Hello fellow trail users, The Distance Riders of Manitoba will be holding a yearly endurance ride at the Belair Forest on Hwy 304 at Stead on October 3 & 4. We ...usually hold a ride at various locations once a year. We would like to thank you all for sharing the trails with us and respecting each other out on trail. While our horses are all trained we would like to remind you that they are all animals with minds of their own and we do not how they will react with regards to quads speeding by them. We would all like to go home safe at the end of the day so if everyone could slow down or stop when you see us to allow us to pass we would greatly appreciate it. We want to wish you all happy trailing and enjoy your rides. Thank you, Board Member at Large with Distance Riders of Manitoba Shannon Yaskiw
