OFF-HIGHWAY RIDERS PRIVILEGED TO PAY TRIBUTE TO SERVICE MEMBERS Northern Virginia Trail Riders Take Part In National Memorial Day Parade About 65 dirtbike, dual-sport machine and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riders took part in the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C., as part of a Northern Virginia Trail Riders (NVTR) effort to honor those who serve in the U.S. armed services and remember those who gave their lives. Joining the NVTR as guests were members of the Family Off-Riders of Prince William County, the Green Marble Enduro Riders, the Potomac Vintage Riders and the R & T Club. Rick Podliska, AMA Washington representative, joined former AMA National Enduro and International Six Days Enduro competitor Mark Spence, Angel Earles and Shifter the dog in a Kawasaki Mule leading the contingent. The parade included nearly 150 military units, marching bands, youth groups and floats. An estimated 350,00 spectators lined the parade route along Constitution Ave. "With over 26 years of active and reserve service, I'm no stranger to parades," says Jim Cowgill, NVTR legislative officer. "However, none matches the thrill of turning my motorcycle onto Constitution Ave. on Washington's National Mall before thousands of cheering spectators at the National Memorial Day Parade "When the veterans and active duty service members in our parade unit ride up and render our salutes to the reviewing officer, we share a proud moment, indeed," he says.

NVTR members show what a work/ride day is all about. To rehab the trail which makes up the club's annual Spring Trail Ride, they knock down some ruts and provide drainage to areas that always seem to have standing water. After a couple of hours of trail repair, the best part comes in the form of riding this beautiful single track for the rest of the day. Wooohooo!!
