Anyone in this area have a track or trails they would be willing to have someone join them. Been rough not getting to ride yet just looking for some seat time and make a few new buddies.

Everything I have seen in D17 has been shutdown besides private tracks. But that's just what I read on the internet.

Thanks its nothing special. Everything is table topped for the wide array of skill levels and age groups we have out. The property is my parents but I live 1/2 mile south of them. Depending on my Dads health ( Cancer) I want to have some people out soon . feel free to add me on FB and I can send you an invite when I make an event on there. Michael Main

I'm working on clearing a track through the woods at my new house. In central Ill, I'll take some help with that. Lol!!

For real though I've been dying to go ride somewhere too.

If you're talking dead center of Illinois, it's a 2 hour drive to any track that holds races. 2.5 is no sweat if you're desperate. 2 hours to Sunset, 2 hours to LTM, 2 hours to Archview... main reason I barely ride anymore.

The drives definitely suck but I love riding, funny thing is when I looking for a new bike dealers kept arguing oh you really wanna drive that far for that price...I'm yeah bitch I'll drive 3hrs there and back to pay $5876 vs your 7400.

If you’re looking for places to trail ride, Badlands Off-road Park is right over the border from Central Illinois in Attica, IN. It is so close to Illinois that my phone picks up Illinois cell towers when I’m there. I did an IXCR race there about a month ago. They have a motocross track, too, but I don’t know how often they groom it. They have a wide variety of trails that include sand dunes, rocks, and single track trails through the woods. I think they have about 1200 acres.
