CeraHistory
CERA was established in the early 1970's by off-road motorcycle enthusiasts with a passion for the outdoors and motorcycling competition. The founders of CERA decided to provide some fun and healthy competition for the off-road community that was the subject of the movie so popular at the time -  “On Any Sunday”. This community included off-road riders and clubs throughout the state of California.
CERA now holds two competitive events each year. They are the Fools Gold Enduro held near Georgetown, California and the Training Wheels Family Enduro held at the Foresthill OHV park.  They are both sanctioned by the AMA, but it is CERA’s premier Fools Gold Enduro which pays District 36 points in the Moose Northern California Championship Enduo Series. The riders who accumulate the most District 36 points during the year are recognized by District 36 as Champions in their respective classes. What’s an “enduro”? Glad you asked!

In addition to hosting competitive events, CERA encourages the growing popularity of Dual Sport. Fortunately, the area of the Sierra Nevada where CERA holds its enduros also offers fantastic dual sporting opportunities. Noncompetitive riders can now enjoy the beauty of the Sierra Nevada through CERA’s Gold Bug Dual Sport ride.
CERA continues to acknowledge its responsibilities both inside and outside the off-road community. CERA is passionate about preserving our land-use rights, and works closely with the US Forest Service, the District 36 Legislative Action Officer, the Blue Ribbon Coalition, and other groups to preserve our “right to ride”. Volunteering time to forest projects and contributing to the well being of the forest communities that are home to our events are activities of which CERA is justifiably proud. As a result of these efforts, CERA is able to promote events that are challenging yet safe, responsible yet fun.
Over the years, our motorcycles have improved and CERA has grown. However, one thing has not changed – our passion for off-road motorcycling. We are a fun-loving group of off-roaders interested in new members of any riding skill level, so check out our membership page to inquire about joining CERA.
See you on the trails!
