Vintage Trail Riders Inc (VTR) started as an idea around a campsite one night. Dennis Myers, Greg Holmes and Mick Jones, three mates from vintage motocross, wanted to create a way of riding their old bikes that was pure fun. They started thinking about their younger years, out camping, riding their bikes in the bush and yarning around a camp fire.
In 2014 they negotiated the official paper work and VTR was born.
The two nights camp, one and a half day cross country trail ride and socialising around the camp fire caught on and membership grew. So too did venue numbers and Dennis and Greg in particular carried the club with good policy, hard work and great enthusiasm. They found new venues, courted land owners to let the club ride, officiated at rides (MA sanctioned) and organised the building of the tracks. VTR owes it’s existence the work of Dennis and Greg in those early years.
These days the riding continues along the same basic concept of Riding for Fun, with the work load shared out amongst general members. If riding old dirt bikes and getting around a camp fire sounds like your sort of fun you’ve probably found the right place for it….Our 2024 Vintage Trail Riders Vinduro Dates March 9-10 Bulahdelah DONE n DUSTED
