2025 Rides and Activities

Important NOTE. The insurance company that BCHI uses is requiring non-BCH members to sign a release before you go on a ride with any BCH ride. Members are automatically covered and don’t need a release. Boise BCH Membership forms are located in the Documents tab. Let the trail boss know to bring the correct release forms if you are coming just for the ride. Special Designated Public BCHI sponsored riding events (where non-members are invited) do not require a release.

We used to schedule Trail Rides/Activities out for a full year, but we always seemed to change them throughout the year. Except for the few listed below. If you are interested, we are pretty good at notifying our group through the “Group Me” app of upcoming rides and activities. Upon joining the chapter, request access to our “Group Me” site.

Please contact your State Representatives by mail and phone and ask them not to support the release of BLM managed land to state management.

Keep the message short (They don’t want personal details)

This is all the detail they need, tell them:

You don’t support the release of public managed lands from the BLM to the State of Idaho.
This land is where we recreate; Camping, Riding, Fishing, et. Look at how much revenue is spent on these activities in Idaho.
The state cant afford to manage the land.
If they support this, don’t count on a vote at the next election.
