Meeting Tomorrow Night
The meeting at Batavia Station went reasonably well. However there were some concerns about the size of the meeting room, or the need to re-arrange tables. It was decided to have the March meeting at Batavia Station again, but to continue evaluating other possibilities including returning to the Golden Corral. Discussion on this topic is highly encouraged via the forum section or by contacting our President or Vice President.

OHIO RIVER FOUR WHEELERS "ESTABLISHED 1991"
About Our Club
Ohio River Four Wheelers (ORFW) is a non-profit club in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Our goal is to enjoy recreational trail riding and to promote responsible, environmentally conscious off-roading. Our club is family oriented, with twenty-five active families in our membership.
Trail rides
ORFW conducts weekend trail rides once a month except during December and January. We also ride over the Memorial Day, Labor Day and Thansgiving holiday weekends. Trail rides begin at 9:00AM on Saturday, and last all day with lunch eaten on the trail. During the summer months, some members also ride on Friday and Sunday. For detailed information on ride dates and locations, please see the schedule or "Destinations" section of our
website.
Vehicles
ORFW members drive several makes and models of four-wheel drive vehicles. We recognize that driver skill and vehicle capabilities are varied, and are
accommodating to that fact. If you don't think your vehicle can conquer a particular obstacle...don't risk damage...go around it. There are almost always bypass trails. If you want to see what your vehicle can do, we are there with
experienced advice and assistance. Where we go, we go as a group. No vehicle is ever left behind, even in the event of a breakdown.
Vehicle requirements for trail rides are:
Required
-
All vehicles must be street legal with appropriate licenses and insurance
-
Front tow hooks or rings
