Do you race? If so, you should try to hook up with some guys who are local to you and find out where they are practicing at. Basically if you throw a rock anywhere on the outskirts of the metro area you hit a private mx track.

mcleoud151 wrote: I'd worry about scrubbing later! If you've been practicing for a year you're probably ready to race. At least think about it. PIR is running this Thursday, Albany has practice today and races this Saturday/Sunday. Riverdale will have practice. That's all I know for sure in the next few days. Me? I'm no racer! I like to practice occasionally. Don't even have a bike right now unless you count my pitbike, so I gotta' borrow one to ride! But...that should be changing soon. Along with getting health insurance. Don't like to rirde without that anymore! I'm the medic at Albany and Salem and madras sometimes though, and do some photojournalism stuff. As well as a stint as a trainer for a national B rider this last year lol.
