Being in northern AZ I have no choice but to drive 2-3 hours to the few tracks that we have left. 

You should come ride Gopher Gulch Ranch. NW Az east of Kingman in the Aquaruis Mts.

Not a parking lot track though most want that lame type of track.

 4600 ft up 1.7 mile natual terrain old school mx.200 ft elevation change fast and flows well with some big air.

Takes me about 2 hours to get to Marysville from Reno.

Depends the quality of the track but 1 hour isn’t very far. 2-4 hours is where the real decision making comes in

Spot on. The track has to be well cared for and not absolutely packed for me to break the two hour drive mark. Nothing worse than driving for hours just to ride on half ass prep for 10 minutes out of every hour.

Right about 2 hours is where I draw the line. Anything much farther than that and it's a trip-type ride day. (Or days.)

I have a track at my house but the management there is grumpy and always seems too busy to prep it.  That said, driving 1.5 to 2 hours depending on which actual track I want to go to isn't out of the norm.

That sounds fantastic.

I’m just blessed to call southern VA home, I’ve got Lake Sugar Tree and Birch Creek 30 minutes away and tracks like Windy Hill and NCMP right at 2 hours
