Hi all
I'm coming over to watch Atlanta and wondering if there's anywhere I can ride whilst I'm over there. Are there places you can hire bikes just for a day?
Cheers Matt

Good on you for going tho!.
The Shop
I am from Georgia, and I have been riding at both places for years. I have rented bikes from both facilities, and rode both back in January. Neither Highland Park nor Durhamtown takes very good care of their motocross tracks. If you are interested in riding exclusively moto, I would encourage you to look into one of the training facilities in the state, and maybe they will have rental options. Durhamtown and Highland Park both offer great trail systems with trails ranging from beginner to expert. Both facilities are relatively close to Atlanta//the Georgia Dome (where the race will be held).
Durhamtown's rental fleet is solid for the beginner to intermediate rider, and the mechanics there are very helpful. That said, maintenance isn't top priority, and the majority of their rental vehicles are locked up in a "corral" outside. Durhamtown has approximately 12-15 tracks scattered over the property. The pro-level mx track is maintained, but the rest of the tracks are subject to the elements. Still very fun. Lots of good trails if you can find them deep in the woods.
Highland Park's rentals are top of the line KTM machines. That said, rentals here are expensive. The 2-3 tracks are not well maintained and grow boring quickly (beginner to intermediate level). However, the trails at Highlands are phenomenal, and very well kept.
Whatever you pick, have fun!
