I've had a lot of stress lately, and I'm also obsessed with riding, and I want nothing more than to improve my riding skills. Unfortunately I live in Michigan where riding is just about to end for the year.
First consider I'm a 19 year old kid just trying to ride in any way possible and get away from this snowy hell, and financing all of this potential trip myself. So I'm looking to get the most cost effectiveness.
At first I considered a riding schools, like SOBMX, GPF seems to cater only to pros, same with most schools plus they are so expensive. I'm a B rider at best but I have a lot of room to improve.
I want to go to either the Southeastern US or California (dream). So I was looking at Monster Mountain and they charge $800 a month for an RV hookup (which I don't even need) plus riding everyday.
Does anyone know any tracks in California or the southern US that are open everyday and might offer a deal to someone like me?
How about the most cost effective way to stay? Hotel? Riding school?
Honestly I'll live in a van (which I don't have) or a shitty motel if it meant I could ride every day.
I was hoping to go for 3 months, I want to just ride for a while and forget about everything else. If anyone has any suggestions please I'm open. I'm also willing to work for someone who may have a track or place to stay.
Thank you, Braden.

As someone who enjoys and has obviously taken road trips living out of the truck, I can say you'll be miserable for 3 months in a truck. Get a hotel or an rv. Trust me.

Well some tracks offer monthly passes I think? But it's more fun to ride all the different tracks.
Just get in your truck with your bike and drive, things will work out. YOLO.
my budget was super small but i made it work. More money = longer or more comfortable. Riding everyday sounds great until you start doing it. The body needs down time to recover. I didn't get any coaching but if you really wanted to I'm sure you could plan it and make it fit your schedule. The facilities sound good for your riding, but not as much of an adventure.
As others have said though, I wouldn't limit yourself to just staying at one place. Too many options for that!
Maybe hit Highland park in ga on your way to Alabama. Riding monster mountain should be the number one goal on your agenda and you could stay out there cheap.
From there you want to head to Jacksonville Florida (there is tracks on the way but I don't know where, do research) and stay at WW for a few days, beach is only 30 min away as Well as a track called Hilliard.
From there head a couple hours south (and probably 80 degrees) and hit more tracks down there. Florida members can probably help you out with more tracks down there
Then hit some more on the way home.
NOW stack up your money
