EDUCATIONAL ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS AND FORUMS
Editor’s Note – Our quarterly meetings are currently ON HOLD due to the pandemic mitigation guidelines but we are still doing club rides and post-ride social events like BBQs and Desert Dessert Bars and Discussion blogs.
On each meeting’s agenda, there will be a minimum 15-minute Trail Talk discussion, plus a 15-minute education program or video presentation, or open mike discussion on various topics.
Guest speakers, Q&A sessions and Hands-on demonstrations, Educational Handouts & Maps, Offsite 1-3 hour Educational Roundtable Discussions (e.g. Rugged Radios vs Beofeng Radios, GPS Basics & Best Practices, Sharing of GPS Tracks, Garmin Basecamp, Wilderness First Aid, etc.).
There is usually a 1/2 hour of ride videos shown before each meeting to entertain the early arrivals as members and visitors sign in.
Side tables are also set up for our reference library of maps, trail talk presentations, trail books, and club merchandise.
