About Us

CCC of VT is a group of recreational motorcyclists dedicated to perserving and enhancing legal off-road and dual-sport motorcycle opportunities in Vermont. We at CCC of VT are an organization based on family recreation and our venues are non-competitive. We recognize and value trail riding not only in its historical land use, but also as a contemporary and relevant family activity deserving of legal opportunity and standing. We believe any and all enviromental or civic concerns can be mitigated through adequate equal opportunity and proper management techniques.

With that in mind, it is our ambition and focus is to achieve the following goals:

 

  1. Petition for and achieve parity with other recreational groups in both legislative governance and application of recreational land use in Vermont;
  2. Secure riding areas on suitable tracts of land and over public rights of way through purchase, lease, grants, conservation easements or other legal means;
  3. Provide resources and information concerning the safe and ethical use of off-road motorcycles;
  4. Provide charitable support to other civic organizations.
 
 
We are a membership-based organization which does not receive public assistance at this time. We call on you and all motorcyclists (young and old, new and experienced) to support our efforts. Trail riding is often the gateway to life-long enjoyable use of motorcycles in the outdoors as many of you, your children and your grandchildren already know.

RIDES AND EVENTS
In 2006 CCC of VT scheduled and held several dual-sport rides. These are rides on public right-of-ways for legal off-road motorcycles and are free of charge to CCC of VT members.
 
We at CCC of VT come from many walks of life but all share the same passion for dirt-bike riding. Some of us have been riding dirt for over 40 years and some of us are in the first year of enjoying the sport. We offer places where members can enjoy the sport and see the wonderful state of Vermont. We also want a place where we can ride with our children and grandchildren. 
 
Our route sheeted rides include street rides (when we just want to enjoy the twisties of Vermont) and numerous dual-sport rides. Some are easy and some are, well, let's just say, "a little more difficult."
 
In the future all rides will be rated with a scale of 1-10 in difficulty. We offer an adventure ride for the new off-road rider and a GS ride with a little more off road. We also offer four dual-sport rides starting out in Johnson, VT and one ride that starts in Canada and goes to the Massachusetts border. We also have a 224-mile 2-day ride (difficultly level of 8) for those looking for a challange. Route sheets are available for all of these rides to club members by e-mail so that  members are free to ride whenever they want. And this is just the beginning! Our future plans include the Red Fox turkey run, more route sheeted rides and some private land riding, too. 
 
If you think you would like to join us for a ride or join the club and make lots of new friends, we would love to have you. Our dues are a reasonable $20 (individual) to $35 (family) per year.
