Welcome to the new RidersWest website!
If you’re reading this, you’re already looking at it—the all new RidersWest design. It’s been a long time coming, and I’m excited to share it with you.
The goal was simple: make it easier for you to find and read the stories you love. A lot of you read RidersWest on your phone, and our old design wasn’t keeping up. The new site is built to look great on a smartphone, with bigger photos, cleaner pages and easier browsing.
Here are a few ways to find your way around:
- Destinations: Browse stories by province, and region, including B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
- Topics: Jump straight to the subjects you care about, from trail reports and backcountry riding to machine maintenance, gear and safety tips.
- Guides. Find trails, riding areas and ideas for your next riding trip.
- Sponsored Content: Find stories from the businesses that support RidersWest.
- Search: Looking for a story you remember? Find it fast.
A quick note on timing: A recent security issue with the software our old site ran on (PHP, for the tech-minded) meant we had to move sooner than planned. If something doesn’t look quite right, please bear with us. We’re still fine-tuning, and things will get smoother in the days ahead.
Tell me what you’d like to read. What ATV and motorcycle stories, riding destinations or how-tos do you want to see more of? Send your thoughts to me at [email protected]. It goes straight to my inbox, and I read every note. Alt text: A laptop on a meeting table displays the redesigned RidersWest homepage while a person gestures mid-conversation nearby.
A few ways to be part of RidersWest
- Share your riding story. Got a great ride, trail find or riding tip? We’d love to hear about it.
- Sign up for our free email newsletter. You’ll hear from us a couple of times a month, and we won’t flood your inbox. The newsletter includes current events and insider news that doesn’t appear on the website, so it’s the best way to stay in the loop.
- Want help telling your story? More people than ever now research local businesses using AI tools before they decide who to call, and they still use search engines too. Our content team at KPI Media has helped dozens of small businesses share their story in a way that shows up in both places. If that sounds useful, we’d be happy to chat.
Thanks for reading, and for being part of the RidersWest community. I hope you like the new look as much as I do.
