Only one of the two big bike tracks is currently open, but absolutely nothing has changed compared to when it closed. Great ran facility and awesome sand track to have back. Drew is doing an awesome job and so far seems like it’ll be open an absolute ton. I’m going to say it’ll probably be my most ridden track this year.

Even though you’d never believe it, but living in Chicagoland for moto is the absolute best. There’s something like 6-7 tracks within 2ish hours

Stoked you replied. If I was going to travel up there and do some weekday riding, do you have any other good spots? Leisure time is on the list for sure but I’d rather go elsewhere since I know it won’t be prepped whatsoever on a Thursday or something. The closer to Motoland the better!

Where you staying at? If your close to Michigan I suggest Martin MX. should be about 1.5 hours from Motoland.

I'll be making my way over to Motoland here soon. I live by Mt Carroll MX, so about a 4 hour drive with time change. Sadly I have to drive through Chicago to get to any tracks in N. Indiana and Michigan. 🫤

Leisure Time for sure open during the week, Martin looks like they do weekday practices at times, if you split the difference between motoland and Sunset Ridge sunset also does Wednesday rides at times as well. Joliet MX does Thursday’s each week, but if you’re looking for loamy/sand then Joliet wouldn’t be the place to go. If you’re doing like a long weekend Red Bud is close to motoland I’m not sure when their first open ride weekend is

Here is RedBuds 2026 schedule. We live about 30 minutes from the track and do most all the events. I agree with you guys that Midwest moto is really great. Living on the Michigan/Indiana line there is Red Bud, LTMX, Motoland, Wildcat, Martin, Sunset Ridge, Wabash, Joliet, Muddy Waters, Mt Carrol, Lincoln Trail, Martin, Baja, and even some Ohio tracks within a few hours. Plus the amount of private tracks is wild.

Motoland April 16, ride somewhere else (Martin, Sunset, etc) April 18 and Red Bud April 19 would be the ultimate Midwest short moto vacation. Usually perfect riding temperatures in the Midwest end of April too, just gotta cross your fingers for no rain

I’m lucky enough to be 10 minutes from Joliet so I’m basically 2 hours away from everything else besides Lincoln Trail, Keithsburg, and Chandlerville which are less than 3 hours

I never rode there but from the stories I heard, my brain thinks of woodchips when I hear that track name.
