Places to ride mx and trails in central Illionis

[backwaterdogs]

My son and I have just moved to the Peoria away from a place where we had access to some great riding (NW TN) and we're now looking for a place...any place.

Can anyone please help?

backwater - nikki has a huge list of places to ride in Illinois. She is out on vacation right now, but I'm sure that when she gets back she will reply to your post. Until then, there is Fox Valley Off Road near Ottawa.

Try 309-647-5877. I'm not sure if they are open this time of year though. Last summer you could buy a membership ($125 family?) and get a key or pay a daily fee($10) on Tuesdays and Saturdays. It's pretty small but if you have a beginner with you or just want someplace close for a couple of motos it's OK

Espy has been sold to Russe's sone Dave he is suppose to be redoing the track. He has also opened sometype of shop in EP. The number listed above is the old number, I don't have the new one. http://www.sunsetridgemx.com/raceschedule.html is less than an hour away and is a really good track. Their first open practice is scheduled for this weekend.
