Be Adventure Ready when heading out into the back-country. We encourage all riders to practice basic wilderness preparedness, because sometimes trips just don’t go as planned. AdventureSmart provides survival tips, training and plans to help keep you safe.

Your Ride Responsibility when participating in C.V.A.T.V. club rides.

Pack it in – Pack it out. Packing in and packing out is an essential environmental practice that will help preserve the natural environment for wildlife and future generations. This practice refers to taking all the items you brought on your outdoor ATV excursion and leaving no unnecessary items or waste behind.

We want to ensure everyone has a fun time and a good experience, and so to ensure that everyone comes home safe, the CVATV club has rules:

• You must carry proof of 3rd party liability insurance on your machine.
• Wearing an approved helmet is mandatory.
• ATV riders with passengers on the back, (2UP) must be riding on a factory installed second passenger seat system.
• Alcohol and Drug Use is not permitted during club rides as per the Club By-Laws and Mosaic User Agreement.
• Ride leaders and tail gunners will provide a group ride briefing prior to hitting the trails, the briefing will outline the riding rules designed to get everyone home safely.
• High Vis vests or jackets must be warn during planned group rides.
• We go out as a group, we come back as a group. If you take off from the group to ride on your own, and if you mess up, and then need to be rescued, you have disrupted the group’s planned ride outing and could jeopardize our land access agreements.
• Multiple or repeat offenders of the club rules could require disciplinary action from the executive. Which may result in exclusion from future events or, your name struck from the club’s roster.

Thank you, Your Club Executive.
