About Us
We are a non-profit, Off-Highway-Vehicle (OHV) motorcycle club based in Eugene, OR. The Emerald Trail Riders Association serves to unify the OHV recreational community into a recognizable organization devoted to the protection of our sport. Our diverse membership ranges from the youth to senior rider and from the novice to expert skill levels. We all share a common interest, the love of trail riding. We currently have over 100 members and are growing fast. The ETRA is also a proud member of Oregon's off-road racing sanctioning body, the Oregon Motorcycle Riders Association (OMRA).
When do we meet?
ETRA has meetings every third Tuesday of the month. During the winter months we meet at a local pizza joint and during the summer we meet at a local park. The location of the next meeting is always posted in this website. The meetings are informal and fun, lots of bench racing. All members have the opportunity to speak. We also vote on activities and directions for the clubs resources.

What do we do?
We offer fun Monthly Club Rides and Meetings, organize Events such as Poker Runs and National Cross-Country Races, and perform trail maintenance through Work Parties to improve and sustain our local riding areas. ETRA is a club dedicated to preserving the right to ride on Oregon Public Lands. We utilize our numbers and recognition to help other agencies plan, construct and maintain motorized trail systems in our area. These agencies include the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) , Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), Private landowners, Blue Ribbon Coalition (BRC), Oregon Motorcycle Riders Association (OMRA) and others.
