Welcome to the TVTMA
Hosting a TVTMA ride
A member told me he wants to help his son put on a kids ride out at Rabbit’s Creek. But they aren’t sure what they need to do to host a TVTMA ride. Do they need to provide a meal? Does it have to be a campout? They had quite a few questions and misconceptions about how to host a TVTMA ride.
Because we figure there are a lot of members – newer as well as senior members - that have questions about what hosting a ride entails, the TVTMA Board decided to compose a list of common questions, answers and tips for ride hosting.
Who can host a ride? Any adult member of the TVTMA can host a ride. We have had kids plan and host rides too, under the sponsorship and supervision of a parent.
Do I have to provide a meal or refreshments? Nope, no meal or refreshments are required. That is optional.
How do I host a ride? A ride can be as simple as a short ride around Hemingway Butte, or it can be a two day campout at Baumgartner with a cookout. Almost any kind of ride you want to put together is fine. The more the merrier! E-mail your ride plans and questions to the TVTMA Ride Coordinator .
Here are some steps to follow for planning and hosting a ride:
Provide details such as:
§ Are hookups and water available
§ Any limits on camper size
§ Camp rules to be observed, like keeping dogs on a leash or packing out your own trash.
§ If riding is available near camp for kids or not, and any rules regarding riding around camp.
§ What members can\should bring, if anything, to contribute to dinners or socials.
