Photo - Could be you on a 'Way Out Ride':
Owners of ATVs can go on organised trail rides without bothering about two-wheelers, under a new initiaitive by Polaris.
The Way Out Rides, starting next month, cater just for the four-wheelers with all-day back-country outings for the whole family, with a charity benefit.
The first ride is on Saturday 9 October at Dargaville, where Polaris dealer Shayn Rouse says the accent is on enjoyment. “We’ve found in the past that ATVs and two-wheelers don’t go well together on rides,” he commented. “The ATV people say it takes the fun out of it, as the machines are ridden differently and tend to tackle different terrain. “The Way Out Rides are tailored by Polaris, who understand recreational ATV riding very well. “The rides are for weekend recreational riders, farmers … anyone who enjoys getting out on their ATV. They need a helmet and boots, plus their ATV. “We have separate classes for ladies and children, and more challenging riding for those who like that.”
The Polaris Way Out Ride at Dargaville starts from Baylys Beach Holiday Park with sign-on from 9am. Information before then from Maurice or Terry, phone (09) 439 6349, motorcamp@baylysbeach.co.nz; or Shayn Rouse, Rouse Motorcycles Whangarei, (09) 433 8471.
All profits from this ride go to the Kapiara Health Shuttle Bus.
Subsequent rides will also benefit local charities. The next is at Te Awamutu on 31 October, contact Wayne Shaw (07) 871 7321; then Waiuku, Rodger Jones (09) 235 5190.
Further Polaris Way Out Rides are planned at Kumeu-Silverdale, Rotorua-Whakatane, Thames, Hawkes Bay, and subsequently further south including the South Island.
