THE THEILMAN TRAILRIDE---SOME OF THE FINEST RIDING FOUND
IN MINNESOTA!
The 2013 Spring Trail Ride will be held May 18th and 19th
The 2013 Fall Trail Ride will be held Sept 7th and 8th
5/17/2013 update: The ride is still on. Rain has been very minimal.
5/13/2013 update: Because of the recent snowfall, some of the river bottom trails may not be open due to high water. We plan to have all of the higher ground trails open and will continue to work on the river bottom trails if the water goes down.
ALL camping will be at the West campground. And please remember to pay the camping fee. The DNR counts the number of camp sites used at our events and compares them to the number of paid sites over the weekend. The percentage that pay is not very good, and reflects poorly on us. So please help us out by paying the fee right when you pull in. Thanks!
The DNR is forbidding bringing of any unapproved firewood into any state run campground due
to the ash emerald beetle risk. So you can NOT bring your own firewood this year unless it is from a DNR certified seller.
Gathering down wood in the State Forest remains acceptable and there is plenty of it around
to gather and cut. Many Kwik Trips sell DNR approved wood.
Minor Release Forms:
Starting in 2012, AMA will be strictly enforcing all minor release forms to be either 1.) signed by both parents and notarized before the event or 2.) witnessed and signed by BOTH parents at registration. If a parent has sole custody of the child, they can solely sign the form with a note to that effect. Notary can use the space at the bottom of the form to stamp and sign. However, AMA offers an annual minor release card. Upon validation, AMA will issue a verification card that is valid for one calendar year from January 1st to December 31st. Present this card during registration at any AMA sanctioned event to skip minor release form paperwork.

Pancake Breakfast hosted by the Twin City Trail Riders! Saturday and Sunday from 7:30 – 10:00 am, @ the West Campground. Proceeds from the breakfast will be used to pay for some land acquisition costs for the Houston OHV trail project. TCTR, GECC, and Rochester Rough Riders are all participating.
All registration, sound checks, etc. will be at the big West Assembly area as it has been the past
couple of years. We do NOT have any ability for pre-registering, all registration is handled at the trailride itself.
Where:
Take County Road 4 either north from Hwy 42 near Plainview, MN or south
from Hwy 60 to Theilman, MN. Take County Road 86 Northeast through the
town of Theilman. You will come to a Y about 1.5 miles down 86. Stay
right at the Y to the campground/signup area. It will be well arrowed
so just follow arrows.
