January motocross trip// Where to go?

PierreSimard
Hey Guys,

I live in Quebec, Canada and its pooring snow here so I am planning a trip in the US with a sprinter motorhome during the month of january. I was thinking about California
What do you think?

I am looking for a nice track to improve for someone that has been riding for the last 2-3 years and with a lot of riding time avalaible.
Maybe a place I could get some coaching as well?

Thanks for your advice

Pierre

Clubmx is closer than Cali. So is all of North Florida.

Dirt is better too.

California would be amazing but a long haul from Quebec.

Lots of good tracks in Florida. Every heard of Durhamtown in Georgia?

I have been in Idaho/Utah for work lately. Probably the most beautiful part of the country I have ever seen. I don't know what tracks are there, but there is lots of off-road.

ClubMX is a-maz-ing. Lots of other top notch facilities here in the Southeast too... I recommend reconsidering your choice of coasts. Moto-Vated in Columbia, SC has a lot to offer, and Durhamtown in Georgia would be a 2hr trip from Moto-Vated

Pierre combien de temps off que tu prend? Californie c'est loin en criss du Quebec. Si je serai toi je regarderai a Caroline du Sud, Georgie/Floride. Plein de choix.

Check one off the bucket-list and do it! With some planning you'll be able to watch a few SX races, ride some amazing tracks, and enjoy California's beautiful Winter weather. Most SoCal tracks (Pala, Cahuilla Creek, Elsinore, Perris, Milestone, Glen Helen, Competitive Edge, Sunrise, LACR) have a Vet track option for a less experienced (2-3 years riding) riders.

There are also TONS of coaching options as well (Though I would’t recommend singing up for a Jeff Alessi session anytime soon)…

I have been researching a similar trip. Right now these tracks are on the radar:

MP County Line
North Florida Motocross
Mesa Motocross Park
Pax Trax (uniqe dirt it appears)
Bartow Motocross
Dade City (they do Thursday night practices)

Leave on a Wednesday morning from Michigan. Thursday night Dade City practice. Then any of the tracks above that do open practice on Saturday.

Killer new where to ride off road app. Races tracks riding areas maps web site links phone numbers user calendar, etc. Used it on recent riding trip to Texas. Worked great. I'm from KY two practice spots on app I didn't know we had in east KY. Rode at one this past weekend. Emailed app guys to thank turns out they're moto freaks sent me Black Friday bike graphics coupon. Free for tracks and practice places to get found or listed. Users (us) got to pay small amount to get app. Check it out.

Milestone open every day. Other tracks not far worth checking out. I know a guy that does lessons, real personable and helps you learn and get better.

Wow, thank you all for taking the time to help me out with my trip and alslo with my english skills! lol

I am planning on leaving for 1 month or a little more. I dont really care about the driving to get to california, its gonna be part of the trip to discover the US at the same time because I already drove down to Florida for the last couple of year.
I will also bring my sport bike in the trailer as I race sportbike here. I figure there might be more race track option in california.
I think there will be more stuff to enjoy for my girlfriend also.

Anyway thanks again, I will let you know on my planning as soon as I am all set!
