Hippity, hoppity – Easter’s on its way. The RiderDown Foundation Easter Sunday Family Ride Day Fundraiser, sponsored by the Valley News, the Village News and ThrottleJunkie.com, will take place at Lake Elsinore MX Park.

For many families across the country it’s a tradition to go off-roading for the entire Easter holiday weekend. Our family packs up and spends the weekend in “God’s Country” with a little Easter Sunday service followed by an egg hunt under the blue skies, cool spring breezes and then a casual family day ride at any one of several (legal) off-highway vehicle public parks.

We fill up all the gas tanks (cha-ching) and drive more than 100 miles to either Ocotillo Wells or Johnson Valley.

We never quite know who or what will be camping next to our family group. Sometimes we are thoroughly convinced that the party next to us on public land had family happy that “these family members are not with them for the holiday.”

Well, you know what my aunt taught me? That life is full of “marvelous options.”

Hey, if we don’t know who is camping next to us, we can go to a private facility with friendly staff. If we don’t want to participate with the outrageous fuel prices, we won’t drive so far and we’ll keep the business local.

So, here is what is going on.

Sunday, March 23, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. the forming Race Plate Auxiliary will be volunteering our efforts to coordinate a game and family ride day that is guaranteed to be fun for the whole family at Lake Elsinore MX Park.

Kind of like Highland Games meets dirt bikes, trophykarts, and side-by-sides. Be ready to play “Simon Says” – dirt-style. Compete in a hilarious scavenger hunt and struggle not to put your feet down in the slow race.

There are other games planned, but we are not going to let those entertaining plans out of the bag ’til you show up (hint: fun stuff you haven’t seen on YouTube yet).

Our grand marshal will be none other than Lake Elsinore City Councilman Bob Magee.

Magee will be present at the 12 p.m. Easter Sunday service presented by New Song Calvary Chapel’s Black Sheep Chaplin, Jack Sloan.

Easter egg hunt

We are going to keep it simple for this inaugural fundraising event. Bring your own eggs and candy for each of your kids.

All kids wishing to be included in the Easter egg hunt must sign up at the Valley News media booth and drop off your eggs for the MX Easter Bunny to hide.

The hunt will follow the Grand Marshal’s Memorial Parade lap after the Sunday service.

Is it a boot or a bonnet?

There will be an Easter helmet decoration contest sponsored by the Valley News. Remember to decorate the kids’ gear in good, old-fashioned Grand Prix-style.

Esprit de Corps!!



Contact the Valley News at (951) 676-1839 or (760) 723-7319. We’ll help you out.

If you’re a vendor who wishes to participate with the RiderDown Foundation fundraiser, we’d love to support your business. Contact the Lake Elsinore MX Park at (951) 515-4518.

Friday, March 14th 2008 Update

Lake Elsinore MX Park owner, Randy Hiner has announced he will be waiving the annual Membership fee of $20.00 per rider on Easter Sunday, March 23rd 2008.

“I know what it is like to show up at other tracks with the whole family and ride for one day out of the year. I know that not everybody rides LEMP on a regular basis, so just come on out pay the regular gate fee, check out all our new tracks, and have fun with our families.” Hiner said.

Hiner also stated, “I’d rather see an entire family out playing together donating what they can to a good cause like the RiderDown Foundation than dealing with the long lines of people filling out membership applications. This is a very special and unique event, and I’m very proud our track is hosting it. I respect how everyone in the community is volunteering to put this together.”

Gate fees are: $20.00 per rider, $15.00 for mini’s with no clutch.
