I plan to take a trip sometime this summer to some of the best dirt bike trail riding in the country. What are your favorite spots? Looking for a place with endless miles of trails! Somewhere I can pay for a permit or pay per day. I live on Long Island with no where legal to ride so I want to experience what most states are privileged with. somewhere with breathtaking areas and scenery, I’m picturing a sort of forresty terrain. I want to really be impressed with this trip, I’m sure many of you have experienced what I’m looking for. Thanks in advance! Also willing to meet up with a group. Would love to meet some people and do some traveling this summer to some different spots!
Colorado is great. You can ride any type of terrain you want all within an hour. The permit is about $25 and a spark arrestor is required
Awesome! I always wanted to visit Colorado too, I’m assuming if I went alone I’d end up finding a group to ride with? I don’t want to ride alone in an area I’m not familiar with. I don’t know if I could make the trip this summer all the way out there but it’s def on my bucket list for sure!
Highland Park http://www.highlandparkresort.com/ Or any of the Hatfield & McCoy trail systems http://www.trailsheaven.com/
look up NETRA. The turkey run series all of them a good day ride. You will meet good people there. Always a sweep crew there at the end to make shore every body made it out of the woods. This weekend new england classis in loudon nh 6/9,10. Great riding for two days.
Massachusetts at October mountain in Lee, Mass. there’s a map you can get. Call first they seem to change the rules. It’s the best ride in the northeast, we do three 1 1/2 hour loops and never hit the same trail twice. It’s a day of riding from sun up till sun down. You have the forest and the pipeline to ride. For energy it’s peanutbutter n jelly sandwiches and milk chocolate.
once a year. It is a charity ride for systic fibrosis. you start out of loudon nh speedway. you can camp out there. it is a minimum donation of 100 dollars for two days of great riding. about 100 miles each day with a great lunch on the trail and gas stops too. must be registered with a plate.
I was just there last week (we try and get down there once a year for the past 6-7 years). Everybody I've ever met has been very friendly and the residents typically enjoy us being around bringing in money to the local economy. Just need a $50 permit and you can ride all the various HMT systems down there. Plus you can ride on the roads in town if you need something. I will say the single track stuff tends to be beat up and very technical.
Can't go wrong with the California Desert. We've got 1000s of square miles of open riding. Our mountains are cool in the summer months too. Kennedy Meadows, Mammoth and the high Sierra, Big Bear. All epic and well mapped.
We were doing the rides there on our own on weekends. We can go when ever. Must be registered in mass. Call ahead to see if the rules change. There’s trails in the mass forest and on the open gas pipeline that goes over hills and valleys for as far as the eye can see.
