      <description>&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;So far Gopher Dunes has already wrapped up a busy line-up of spring events with Season Opener Races for both CMRC &amp;amp; TVR, and we just hosted a SCR Club Race on Sunday; plus we've had a couple MX Group Training Sessions in April and then our ever-popular Spring 4x4 MudFest which attracted over 2,500 spectators and brought out over 400 trucks and their anxious drivers wanting to challenge their 4x4 mud-wielding abilities. A fun day was had by all, and for those that don't really know what goes on at such an event, just visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://youtube.com/&quot;&gt;youtube.com&lt;/a&gt; and search out Gopher Dunes Mudfest. KTM Canada was at Gopher Dunes on May 5th, as one of their cross-Canada stops for their Test Ride Days and once again we welcomed the presence of Red Bull.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Gopher Dunes is the relocation site for this Saturday's TVR Club Race....that's May 12th. So on Saturday only the trails will be open for public riding. We are open today and tomorrow until 8pm for leisure riding on the main track, peewee track and trails, and then again on Mother's Day Sunday from 11am to 6pm.  &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Now for those interested in learning to ride a dirt bike or quad, or want to increase their MX sand racing skills, we are now taking reservations for private, semi-private, small group and family training sessions.  You can bring out your own machines for training, or rent one of our 2012 HONDA bikes or quads.  These lessons can be arranged on a weekday from Tuesday through Friday and for any preferred number of hours.

      <description>Dunes Update on April 20....as Spring 4x4 MudFest is fast approaching!!!!!&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Overall, the month of April has been bringing us some decent weather, a bit of a yo-yo with the temperatures plus things have been getting pretty dry; although nothing to complain about compared to last year's totally drenched spring!&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;April 15 saw the Season Opener Amateur National Qualifier CMRC Motocross Races plus ATV Racing unfold at the Dunes.  Over 110 motor-homes and trailers pulled in Saturday night traveling from as far away as Michigan to Northern Ontario and everywhere in-between. Lots of anxious riders were ready to get another season underway! Early registration from 7 to 9pm on Saturday accumulated over 260 entries with another 300+ entries registering Sunday morning when sign-in started at 6:30am.  With over 1150 people coming through the gates, we were blessed with extremely mild weather although some rain showers found their way here during the late morning hours. And as Season Opener's usually bring, there were some pretty wicked wipe-outs with some riders starting fresh into a new season, maybe a little out-of-shape and giving it their all to qualify, only to crash and be hauled away in an ambulance. Not what we like to see, and hopefully they'll mend quickly to move onto the next round?! Nonetheless, it turned out to be a successful Opener, we welcomed back the quad racers and wish all the CMRC racers a safe and accomplished 2012 Season.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Gopher Dunes is now on track with its' regular opening hours, which is pretty much daily,&lt;br/&gt;except closed on Monday's (although open if it's a stat day) and also check our website calendar for event dates, because we are then also generally closed to leisure riders.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;As for this weekend, we are hosting the 50cc to 65cc Group Training Session on Saturday which will be held at our alternate track, and the main track, peewee track and trails remain open from 11am to 6pm tomorrow for practice/leisure riding.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;On Sunday, April 22 the Thames Valley Riders are hosting their Season Opener Race here at the Dunes and ONLY the trails will be open to the public that day from 11am to 5pm.&lt;br/&gt;For more details on the race, visit: &lt;a href=&quot;http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001ObxpTqWfI3cX4rSV5DBVn1wMtGnxqdNPynPNmiAW-20MLny4dSe5l9v0RgHfR4xWDOAfy9YZY9sRVNbTW2ZFhazAUdZ7yR5OOrNMnY-jxxk=&quot;&gt;www.tvrmx.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;We will be open next week from Tuesday through Friday for track and trail riding from 11am to 7:30pm and next Saturday till 6pm. All tracks and trails will be CLOSED on Sunday, April 29, as Gopher Dunes will be hosting their annual Spring 4x4 MudFest. For those of you that don't know what goes on during this 'Red Neck Day'.....you gotta check it out on &lt;a href=&quot;http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001ObxpTqWfI3cy_kkd4kd29P5AYylv0ogsEUwcR8u_Wrqr9Mej04EZNiI_2uc4ftiYB54QLZgayUxJKOOJ37EpmMDe5emV2dFYJF0oyDxhkJA=&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com&lt;/a&gt; and search for Gopher Dunes MudFest!   See more details below....&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;To inform all our practice riders who frequent our facility....now is the time to purchase your 2012 Gopher Dunes Membership!  It entitles the member to unlimited practice riding, free gate admissions, Pro Shop discounts and a chance to win a $500 Shopping Spree at the GD ProShop, or a Matrix bike stand or a pair of Scott goggles? Cost is $450 plus HST.&lt;br/&gt;Draw will take place on April 30.  &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Also for any enthusiasts wanting to learn how to ride a dirt bike or quad, just give us a call. We offer private, semi-private, small group and family training sessions. We can train you on your own machine, or rent one of our HONDA bike or quads along with full riding gear.   We prefer to set up these private training sessions on weekdays, as on weekends there is too much activity taking place.   Call Barb at 519-842-2781 or email: &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:info@gopherdunes.com/&quot;&gt;info@gopherdunes.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Note: We DO NOT rent our 2012 HONDA machines for unsupervised leisure riding! All renters are required to first take the training course and will then be accompanied by the instructor for any track or trail riding.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Now for details on our MudFest....&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;This is our 18th Annual Spring 4x4 MUDFEST that is taking place on Sunday, April 29, 2012 at GoPHER DUNES.
