Emergency Contact Form (***See attachment)
*** The properly tuned CB radio is how we communicate on the trail systems. From time to time, we can not see or hear each other and this is where our CB's come in handy. Since we are growing and our members are from all over the place, please take a moment to fill out the following Emergency Contact form and keep it in your glove box while attending GATR trail rides. It would not be good if you were to get severely hurt and we could notify immediate family or friends. Again guys, thanks for continuing to make each GATR ride a success.
Thanks,
GATR Staff
