July 2008 | Welcome to the RidersWest eNewsletter
With the beautiful weather we've been getting, RidersWest decided to send a couple of staff writers to sample the ATVing opportunities in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. After it won several awards in our ATV Rider’s Choice Awards, we wanted to check out the area for ourselves. The cover story tells of their experience. Also included in this newsletter are reports from the motocross, endurocross and off-road race circuits in B.C. and Alberta as well as product profiles and news about an exciting event coming your way: The Canadian Off-Road Expo.

TALES & TRAILS
A terrific trip
Expectations are high when you are planning a trip to an award-winning ATVing destination, such as the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. After this area won top honours in RidersWest’s first annual ATV Rider’s Choice Awards last spring, my colleague, Tanya Laing, and riding partner Teri Higgs, decided to see what the hype was all about.
