Ontario Federation of Trail Riders - Upcoming Trail Rides

OFTR Banner
Trail Ride Pre-Entries
 
Have you ever wondered how much thought, work and preparation goes into an organized trail ride?
 
A one day event will take a month of weekends and a two-day can take two months or more to prepare. Volunteers are out on the trails placing arrows, correcting trail problems and laying out the course for your enjoyment. Pre-Riders and Sweepers are assigned and sound check/registration crews are set up.
 
Pre-registration allows the club putting on the event to plan better an order the right amount of food and supplies. It also provides encouragement to the workers that are out there prior to the event.
 
The OFTR offers pre-entry via PayPal for most of our events and we urge you to use the system to help the organizers plan better....

ORM Economic Benefits Report
 
One of the most influential ways to demonstrate to stakeholders that the recreational off road motorcycling community in Ontario is beneficial to the communities where we live and play is via economic impact. The OFTR recently completed a study, with the help of our members and The Tourism Company, an independent tourism consulting company, to identify the annual economic benefits of recreational trail riding in Ontario.
