Yerington Dirt Bike Trip
​October 15-17, 2021

We are ready to go riding at our favorite spot in the desert! Since 1999 BAS has been hosting this trip for great desert riding while connecting with the best people.
  • Dirt Bikes are the vast majority but quads, side-by-sides, 4WDs are all welcome
  • This trip is for everyone! Families of all ages and riding abilities love this trip.
  • Lodging options are two: Stay in the town of Yerington at one of several hotels or stay at the Staging Area in an RV, Trailer, or Tent.
  • Saturday is our main day with many different guided routes. Intermediate and advance riders can choose to ride to Microwave Tower  and the Pine Grove Ghost Town area (not for beginners). If you ride to Pine Grove, lunch is offered there for riders for $12/person  
  • After riding all day, join the group at Round Table Pizza in Yerington for dinner and time to swap stories of the day’s ride. Their dining room is not currently available, so we will be setting up our own tables and chairs right outside it (with their permission) so you we can still enjoy our tradition. 
  • Sunday morning has three great components before getting back on the bikes… 1) A full, hot breakfast  2) A short sermon from Adventure Sports Pastor, Greg Weisman 3) Phenomenal door prizes where everyone wins big!

PLEASE VOLUNTEER! This works best when many people chip in and help make it work. Please consider helping in one of these important ways:
  1. Check-In Team. We could use some help getting people checked in (help needed both Friday afternoon and Saturday morning) 
  2. Lead a ride on Saturday. We need ride leaders who know the area, can troubleshoot along the trail and who can keep it fun. This year, we will only be leading intermediate and advanced riders to Pine Grove (riders must have had experience desert riding in deeps sand and long trails.) Beginners will have less technical options.)
  3. Be on the Pine Grove Team. On Saturday we always need at least two pick-up trucks to go Pine Grove with gas cans and lunch supplies and host the group as it arrives. The trucks always seem to bring at least one bike and rider back to camp.
  4. Be on the Sunday Breakfast Team. We will be making scrambled eggs, pancakes, and sausage for breakfast at the Staging Area. We bring all the supplies, we just need helpful cooks.
  5. Be on the Prize Team. We always need more prizes and then we need a crew to set up and distribute prizes on Sunday morning.

RIDING: Riding is great for all levels, beginner to adult as the desert offers 4WD roads for beginners and sand washes, hill climbs, ridge trails, & technical canyons for those wanting a challenge. The Wilson Canyon Staging area is terrific as parents can sit on a knoll and keep an eye on the kids while they ride an expansive area. For those who want a longer, guided ride on Saturday – there are several options to the including intermediate/advanced rides to the Pine Grove Ghost Town, and the microwave tower.
