RIDE THE SHORE IS BACK FOR 2023!!!!!
Major spring rains coupled with a near record snowfall from wither of 2022 set up for a massive amount of water running towards lake Superior. That caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to the trial systems on the north shore. With trail closures that lasted in to September of 2022, we had no other option but to postpone RTS in 2022. This was a difficult decision the admin team had to make, with many ideas that we brainstormed over for weeks, it was just not possible to accommodate this event another weekend this season. Lodging as many know was in short supply even with a couple month notice. We made many phone calls, sent dozens of E-mails, and made a few day long trips to Silver Bay and Finland to meet with local officials and ATV clubs, the sad reality was we had to postpone RTS 2022.
BUT WERE BACK FOR 2023!!!!
We can’t thank the Local ATV clubs enough for the countless hours they put into the trails to get them back open! Trail repairs, clearing of trees, building new Trail shelters, posting of new signs, these clubs had their back’s against the wall and fought all season to get the trails open! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
Finland Snowmobile and ATV Club
Without these clubs the trails wouldn’t be what they are today!
MINNESOTA ATV RIDERS 5TH ANNUAL RIDE THE SHORE
We are excited to be able to host RTS 5 in 2023, last year was a tough year for not just RTS but the entire community of Silver Bay and Finland. These communities hold some of the best trails in Minnesota and the loss of last years ATV season was hard on many small businesses in these communities. We are gearing up for a spectacular return to the North Shore of Minnesota!
reason for the ride!
In 2021 we were able to raise $5,000 for the Silver Bay Veterans home. Its all because of our awesome members, we are proud to show the good things that ATV riders can and are doing for the local communities. For 2022 we were hoping to exceed this amount as it all goes to the Veterans home activities department. This money help the residents to get out and enjoy the outdoors! With the money raised last year the Veterans were able to go fishing, build some realistic model airplanes, and even do of ATV riding!
What to expect at Ride the shore 2023
Ride The Shore is one of the biggest rides of the season, but don't let that intimidate you! What sets Ride The Shore apart is the ride is a self guided tour of some of the best trails in Minnesota (ride at your own pace). We have custom printed maps of the trail system that surrounds Silver Bay, Beaver Bay, Finland, and parts of Isabella. There is hundreds of miles of trials to check out and scenery for days! On the maps Minnesota ATV Riders has highlighted a few MUST SEE location dubbed as "SELFIE STATIONS" these stops are clearly marked on the maps provided. Think of it as a scenic scavenger hunt. Ranging from 150' rock ledge cliffs, to a hundred + year old abandoned hideout, to beautiful bridges that span dozens of river crossings, Ride The Shore maps will guide you through what Northern Minnesota is famous for!
Ride The Shore is a great family fun weekend! There is no age limit and we even have juice boxes for the kids!
It's even ok to get a little dirty! There will be MN ATV Riders gear available if you find yourself in a situation where you need a new shirt!
Event headquarters is located just in front of the Silver Bay Americinn. There is parking available at the event with overflow lots a mile from the event (direct trail access to get to the event on your ATV)
