Welcome to Prescott Trail Riders

Welcome to the 2025 Prescott Trail Riders Web Portal.  PTR membership is now calendar-year based going forward.

These changes require each club member to renew/acquire their 2025 membership to obtain a 2025 PTR membership card which will be available at the February (or subsequent) 2025 club meetings. 

The new membership program and cards have been implemented to enable the very favorable discounts our sponsors are offering and to simplify membership management. The 2025 membership dues are $20 if paid by cash or check (or $21 if paid online). Please click this link to go directly to our membership renewal page.

WHERE: RACE STAGING AREA BY LITTLE DEALER RV SALES, PRESCOTT VALLEY

Please check your e-mail or PTR Facebook posts on Saturday morning to ensure nothing has caused the cancellation of the workday!

DIRECTIONS TO STAGING LOCATION:  Exit Hwy 69 in Prescott Valley south onto Truwood between Tractor Supply and Little Dealer RV Sales.  Continue 150 yds south through the gate into the dirt staging area.

The exact scope of work needed is still being determined; access to some areas is best via motorcycle or ATV, other areas via car/truck and a hike, or in the same general as staging.  Although not an official PNF workday, long sleeve shirt, pants, boots and normal PPE are still strongly suggested.

There are expected to be additional course marking and setup volunteer opportunities on Thursday and Friday May 15 and 16^th.  Please let Todd know at the May club meeting, email or text/phone as listed in the race flyer.

Please bring your own water if you’re working remotely.

WHERE: RACE STAGING AREA BY LITTLE DEALER RV SALES, PRESCOTT VALLEY

Our 2025 race, the “Russ Vinton Memorial Race at Lynx Creek” is scheduled for May 17th, now less than three weeks away.  In addition to sharing the flyer below, we’re asking that if you’re interested in volunteering this year during the race, that you please attend the upcoming club meeting on Monday May 5th at 6pm at Frank’s Mexican Restaurant in Prescott (next to Park Plaza Deli on Goodwin.) 

Alternatively, you can reply to this message (club email) or send a message to [email protected] . Please click here for the race flyer.  If you’re anxious to pre-register for the event please click this link to go straight to AMRA Bigbike entry.

As in the past,  we’re planning the next workday at 9AM on Saturday May 10^th 2025, staging at the race site just south of Little Dealer RV Sales on Truwood Ave in Prescott Valley.  In addition to brushing and course maintenance, we also work on setting up start/finish gates and some of the mini course working around the normal fill site operations.

On Friday May 16^th, we plan to mark and ribbon the areas of the course like the motocross track (perhaps some on Thursday May 15^th unless high winds forecast.). If you’re interested in volunteering on these days, please let Todd know.

One reminder that if you help in course setup, you’re not eligible to compete in the race.  We hope that you will volunteer, watch, or compete in this year’s Hare Scramble.
