awesome singletrack weekend

Published On 1/27/2020

was contacted by 4 gentlemen from Pennsylvania in early December about joining and riding NATRA , we planned scheduled everything after they joined .
These were all guys in their late 50s and mid 60s ( not that that matters ) and dirt biking and riding buddies for years ....
But the story here is about friendship these guys just absolutely impressed me with their , whit , clever jokes, but also with there riding skill and ability and agility . They were all RIDERS , meaning they could rip! I had the best time showing them around along with some of my riding buds as well . We logged 51 miles of NATRA singletrack on Saturday and 55 more miles of the same today . These guys never complained, each time we stopped for a break they would say that’s just awesome , is there more ? None the less I was encouraged to ride and enjoy friendship thru those guys this weekend . And a 106 miles of singletrack in two days is not a record but it’s plenty for me 😂

Y’all missed it

Trying to Cheat our membership rules will not be tolerated

Published On 1/12/2020

For the folks that are adding an extra adult besides their significant other to their membership ....attempts to cheat are frowned upon ...buy them a day pass and do not jeopardize your membership for someone that ignored the warning of the membership deadline....

example: you as a 19yr old or older male can add your significant other or wife to your membership ,

• but you can not add her brother who is 27 +. this crap gets old folks ....

• you can not add all your buddies that are over 19

• you as an adult can not add your adult sibling

we get contacted each time you change your membership , many folks will find out the hard way that this will not be tolerated.....

think about your account , do you have more than two adults being : you and your significant other , if so you are in membership violation . the rules are plainly written on this matter.

Memebership Checks

Published On 3/2/2019

I spent about two hours doing a sampling of membership adherence at the bowl today. Basically could have written at least 10 trespassing tickets today, banned one member for the balance of the year do to "sharing" his membership, using a one day pass multiple days, no pass because their first time, etc etc. And all these violations were in groups with paying members, I just can't fathom why this is still occurring.
Come on folks, its pretty damn simple, and I apologize for the members that are doing the right thing:
1. You have to have a valid pass or membership to be on the property, there is no exceptions!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is no coming to check it out, this is trespassing!!!!!! As a member you can't bring a guest to check the place out, we no longer have a guest policy due to abuse.
2. There is no sharing memberships. A membership is for you, your significant other and your minor (under 18) children or grandchildren, not you, your girlfriend, your a

Tresspassing and No Guest Poilcy

Published On 1/24/2019

Reminder: NATRA doesn’t have a guest policy as it did years ago. Everyone who is on our property must either be a club member or purchase a day pass (riding or passenger only) there are no exceptions. As members, by allowing others to come and ride and “check” the place out or ride without electronically signing the waiver are putting their membership at risk and the club’s liability at risk. Thanks for your cooperation, hopefully we can avoid additional court dates.

NATRA prosecuted two individuals for trespassing, the cases were presented in Lawrence County court this week. NATRA has the support of the Sheriff's office and the DA's office, and the court confirmed the charges. Let's just say, unless you have a bunch of extra cash laying around and ever want to come back to WP again, I would get your passes or membership taken care of.

Published On 1/21/2019

Two Track Trail Priorities for this year. In general our two track trail system is in decent shape, there may be a few reroutes that need to be done but I don't know of any others that are pressing at this moment, and we have a list for Happy to take care of once the rain stops.
Here is the priority list:
1. Bridge build on 33/35 - Jan 26th
2. Trail 17 re route - Jan 26th
3. GPS mapping of all trails - Start Feb 2nd
4. Re-sign interior trail intersections -
5. Add two track cutoffs off ridge rd -
6. Add two track on north end of No Mans land and larry rd -
Items 5 & 6 may or may not happen this year depending on how the re-signing and GPS mapping goes. Both of these need to be done before the Poker Run.

Trail Head Signs

Published On 1/21/2019

The trail head signs on all the county roads have been changed out (except cemetary - forgot to print those). I know the trail system real well and never really pay attention to the signs. I was surprised on how many were faded and missing. The interior trail intersections will be re-signed over the next month or so, there are 500+ signs to put up. I have them in my truck and will organize them numerically by east and west side. If you know the trail system and would like to help please contact myself or JC.
I was glad to see that the posted signs are holding up well...even the ones riddled with bullet holes. You definetly know when you are on our property from the county roads and that the trails are on NATRAI
