Latest NASTR News:

Red Rock Rumble, Nevada Silver Rush, NASTR Hat Trick (LD),
and NASTR Trifecta (50) Details

The Red Rock Rumble brochure, including the entry, is now available.

Note that this year's RRR will be a loop ride with all holds out of camp. So, while it will be familiar it will also be new. Through the generosity of several local ranchers, we will have lots of water available throughout the ride. It is the consideration of another local landowner that we were able to get you into some really great areas.

Also included in this brochure are the standings and nomination/entry details for the Nevada Silver Rush (Rides of March 50, High Desert 50, and Red Rock Rumble 50); the NASTR Hat Trick (Nevada Derby 25, NASTR 30, Red Rock Rumble 30); and the NASTR Trifecta (Nevada Derby 50, NASTR 50, Red Rock Rumble 50) Awards.

VC100 Entry Now Available

An online entry for VC100 is now available, using either PayPal or credit card.

The ride brochure with all ride stats and entry may be downloaded here.

We are also in need of volunteers to help out at the ride. If you would like to join us for this fun, historical event, please fill out this form.

NASTR Takes over Tahoe Rim Ride (TRR)

To ensure the continuation of this beautiful ride, NASTR has taken on the ride management of the Tahoe Rim Ride.

At this time we are working through the rider list from the cancelled 2018 ride and starting a waiting list. We will pull riders from that waiting list once we have completed contacting the riders from last year's list. If you would like to be added to the 2019 waiting list, please complete and mail in the entry form.
