Region 1 2025 Ride Schedule

When entry forms are available, we'll put links to printable registration forms for all rides in the table below. You can also sign up on-line at RMS, the NATRC Ride Management System, and many of our rides allow you to pay on-line.

Oh yeah. NATRC Region 2 (their rides are pretty much in So Cal and Arizona) isn't that far away and their rides are great, too - check out what they have to offer.

And most of our events will offer Leisure rides, designed to let riders figure out if NATRC is for them. A description of what's involved is here.

Translation of ride types and divisions: An "A" ride is two days, a "B1" ride is one day ride on Saturday and (surprise!) a "B2" ride is a one day ride on Sunday. The divisions are O, CP, N and L. Next, "O" is Open, "CP" is Competitive Pleasure, "N" is Novice, and "L" is Leisure. Sooo, when you see "A" O/CP/N and "B" O/CP/N/L in the ride descriptions below, that means there's a two day ride with Open, CP and Novice divisions, and a one day ride on Saturday for Open, CP, Novice and Leisure divisions. There's more info about the divisions in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the website.

R1 Mini-Convention, March 15, Loomis, CA
Mt Diablo, May 10, Clayton, CA
Mt Diablo has started our ride season forever, and with good reason: it's beautiful, challenging, and, for a lot of us, the ride that's closest to home.

Eel River Ride, June 14-15, Potter Valley, CA
We'll be riding in an old land grant ranch that the Eel River runs through and borders the Mendocino Natl Forest. Our campsite is at about 1500' and we'll be climbing to about 3000', so it should be cooler than the valley floor, and the wildflowers should still be blooming. This ride is spectacular. Maps from our last ride there are here.

Jackson Forest Summer Ride, August 23-24, Ft Bragg, CA
Park your rig in redwood grove where we have our ride camp and enjoy the trails and the serenity of the redwoods. Come early or stay late and explore the Jackson Demonstration Forest, or just enjoy sitting in the shade. Ride maps from our last ride there are at here.

Cowboy Camp, September 27-28
Our Cowboy Camp ride is held in the Cache Creek BLM Wilderness area. It's a beautiful area of rolling hills (if you don't believe us check here) and the ride uses both fire roads and single tracks. The camping area is large, so there's no problem with big rigs, and it's BLM property, so you can arrive early and stay late. See you there!

Cool Canyon, October 11-12
Ok. This may be a little confusing. We're having our regular beautiful Cool Canyon ride - sign up as usual with the Cool Canyon entry below. BUT, we're also hosting the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) Championship at the Cool Canyon ride. So, if you qualify, you can participate in that, as well. In order to qualify, you have to be a current member of AHA, your horse has to be Arabian or half Arabian, and you have to have completed a minimum of 50 competitive miles. Of the competitive miles, 25 or more have to be from NATRC or AHA competitive trail rides, and the rest can be from Limited Distance AERC rides or any endurance ride of 25 miles or greater. Whew.
