Arizona Trail Riders October 28, 2008
Established in 1988, the Arizona Trail Riders (ATR) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to responsible off-highway recreation and the preservation of off-highway motorcycle riding in Arizona. They are a family-oriented club located in Phoenix, Arizona with a state-wide membership of roughly 150+ members at all levels of riding abilities. Their main focus is trail riding, but also promote desert racing and dual-sport events in Arizona. Land use issues, as they affect the sport, are also a focus of the club.
