Overview
Mission
We are an AMA sanctioned District 37 club based out of Ventura County, California. The Bishop Dual Sport ride in October is the most visited/active event each year. General members meet at 6:30pm the FIRST Wednesday of every month at the American Legion, 7 Veterans Way, Camarillo CA.

What it reported doing in 2024
Expanded web site communication with various "Interest" forums: Social, Dual Sport along with Racing. Volunteers continue to assist in all stages from original event concepts to trail management before and after off road racing. The organization works to keep interest in both national and international significance of discovery. Each year, the organization supports trail management and maintennace through its own efforts and supporting other exempt entities. The 2022 initiation by the California Air Resources Board (CARB)of the "Green Sticker Program" has been covered in the Club web site along with reference data for the club members. The membership has always embraced the clean air concepts now mandated by CARB for off road bikes. The assistance in trail management, maintenance and now the expanded communication for CARB assists in keeping the club activities alive and brilliant.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
