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
Rear tow hooks or rings

Recommended

First-aid kit
Fire extinguisher
Recovery strap (with no metal hooks)
Winch
Traction aiding differentials
CB radio

There is absolutely no consumption of alcoholic beverages permitted during an ORFW trail ride.

Other Activities
In addition to trail riding, ORFW members volunteer to assist with Rock Crawling events, trail clean-ups, and annually make contributions to charities of the communities in which we ride.

To join ORFW, you must attend one meeting, one trail ride, and then be voted in by the members. Dues are $55.00 annually. Portions of your ORFW dues are paid to these organizations so that you will become a member through the Club: United Four Wheel Drive Association and Southern Four Wheel Drive Association.

Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm at:
Golden Corral
