TRAIL STEWARDSHIP HIGHLIGHT OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ENDURO

GEORGETOWN, CA (September 29) — A popular Northern California motorcycle event was a huge success because of a club's commitment to trail stewardship and responsibility. On September 27, 2009, the California Enduro Riders Association (CERA) hosted the 36th Annual Fool's Gold Enduro near Georgetown on the Eldorado National Forest. This AMA/AMA District 36 sanctioned event is part of the MSR Northern California Championship Enduro Series.

This was the third rescheduling of the event. It had been previously postponed because of weather and was under threat of cancellation because of potential administrative or legal challenges by anti-access groups.

The FMF/BRC Sound Testing Program for OHVs was on hand as a partner with both the Forest Service and CERA by running the official sound test station for the event as a way to help reduce club/agency cost and to promote trail stewardship.

Don Amador, Western Representative for the BlueRibbon Coalition and Crew Chief for the FMF/BRC Sound Testing Team, said, "I believe this event was successful—despite a great number of real and/or potential hurdles—because of the strong working relationship that exists between CERA and the Forest Service. Both parties continue to champion a strong commitment to managed OHV recreation."

"It was also great to have AMA District 36 officials help out at the sound station. I think it is important for riders to see that the aftermarket exhaust industry is supporting education efforts regarding the use of sound complaint mufflers as a way to help keep trails open," Amador concludes.
