Shasta Rock Rollers is a family based club for ATV/OHV riders of ALL ages and experience.  

Based in Redding California, club members come from all over Northern California. Our interests include scenic riding, technical riding, and for the zippy ones... racing.  The Chappie OHV area is in our backyard near Shasta Dam and we are fortunate to have prime ATV riding available throughout our region for all seasons.  Shasta Dam area has been closed due to fire damage that needed repairing, but it is now open.

AL... SPORTING SOMETHING FAST!!!

Best wishes to our troops all over the globe for a safe ride home very soon.

Shasta Rock Rollers ATV Club rides Northern California, Southern Oregon, The Coast and Points throughout the Western United States of America.  Club members lead rides in areas they are familiar with so everyone can experience something new.

We would like to invite you to a meeting and prepare for the next ride.  Meet great people with ATV/OHV riding interests like yours.  We meet at the Moose Lodge on Lake Blvd.  Food is served only once a month so it is suggested you get a bite to eat before the meeting.

    NEW WEBSITE ITEM... Horse's Hiney award winners will be posted with their stories from each month's meeting.  This month... well, to tell you the truth, it was rigged.  The president tried every dirty trick in the book to get his wife to win it, including, at every possible moment, proclaiming she deserved it... Wouldn't put it past him to bribe folks.  Honestly, poor thing rolled her quad on top of herself while slowly and methodically maneuvering those oversized tires on a treacherous, rocky mountainside, riddled with Manzanita bushes that threatened to jump out and do bodily harm to any unsuspecting quad rider.  She just happened to be the unlucky one this time... And for that, (hmph!) she "won" the award.  Her name is artfully omitted from this paragraph (like no one knows who she is!).  Thanks to Richard for trying to get people to see it was really the president who should win the award (and, Richard, the $5 is in the mail).

 

NOTICE TO CLUB...We want to keep our camp sites pristine, which means that when we are together, we want to leave our spots in the same shape, or better, than when we arrived.  Please make sure you leave NOTHING behind and keep our forested areas clean.  Pick up and dispose of all trash.

 

Past Club Rides 

Let us know if you would like to lead a ride at a great place.

bulletPoker Run May 23-25 Memorial Day Weekend at Wildwood was so much fun. No one was hurt (on the poker run) and there were lots of prizes, great food, campfire fun, games and even a movie. 

bulletApril 25 - Wildwood.   Great rides, great weather, great fun.  Sort of prepped us for the poker run later in May, which should be fantastic!!

bulletNovember 15, MADRONE...what a ride.  Fabulous.  The most beautiful day we could have had.  Everyone made it across the creek just fine and up the mountain.  It was a long ride, and many sore bottoms finished the trip.  No mishaps except for a Polaris which had to be towed the last 5 miles, due to transmission problems. Hm, it's a Polaris!  Wadda ya expect?

Planned Rides

 

bulletJune 12-14 Bill Jackson is heading up a ride at Twin Bridges.  If anyone can get up to "our spot" (exactly 1 mile from the turn off) early to save the area, that would be great.  Lots of trails and easy roads to explore.

bulletAugust 8 will be the Club BBQ at Twin Bridges.  Free to club members, $5 for all else.  Don't forget to bring the side dishes!

Sharon Heywood, Shasta-Trinity Forest Supervisor stated during the meeting in Redding, "OHV Recreation is a legitimate use of the public forest."

It is important that ALL HIGH to LOW use roads and trails are designated to remain OPEN!. OHV user involvement is strongly encouraged in hopes that the entire system inventoried stays OPEN for use at all times with no further closures.
