Makin' a road trip the 2nd weekend in June and would like to see what's out there.Goin' w/some friends and they know of a park close to the race track(the one they race them Carolina taxi cabs on) that has a motorcross track and some trails.I'm not much of a motorcrosser,more interested in woods riding.Just wondering if there is some more places to have some fun!

Kork,
Paragon has some interesting trails and is a place worth going to - 140 miles of trails.
http://paragonap.com/ is the website.
There are more and I'm sure many of the other PA riders will be glad to point you to the right websites. :thumb:

Thanks to everyone for the heads up on Paragon!Visited the web site and read a few post and would have to say this place looks like a blast!!!!!!!!!
The posse and I will try to give it a go(if i can talk the motorcrossers into it)the only problem is we all will be working Thursday thru Sunday(6/5 - 6/8).This leaves Monday(6/9) as are only day to ride this place.If anyone here is goin to be there on this weekend and still riding on Monday It would be great to have a trail guide.I would love to find the single track stuff.Even the crazy "Jersey tight" sounds fun.Any one up for it?

if you want to ride trails dont wate your time at Traxx! They suck. Period!
Paragon does not have a motocross track but one is on the way. The trails are unbeatable. You could ride all day and never cross the same trail.

I will be there on the 8th, but not the 9th.....oops...the 8th is the nationals at Southwick, guess I won't be at Paragon then either.
If you talk your buddies into Paragon, let me know, and I will map out a good run for you with all different types of terrain including the "Jersey tight" stuff. :p
ohh yeah, paragon did put up a practice jump near the mud hole too....the mx tracks will be there soon (there are a few pictures of the jump in "my pictures' link below)

I didn't think anyone would be there on Monday.
Scooter,
I looked at the trail map on the website and saw that the trails are for the 4x4 crowd.A map of a good loop would be great!I don't want to scare the heck out of everyone with a ride full of rock gardens(even though I wouldn't mind it)and if we showed up with no clue where to go that's probably what we would find.
I would like to find a hill you all call "howies hill" that sounds interesting!!
If you have something in mind E-Mail me at [email protected]
Thanks everyone for all your help.This trip is sounding better every day!

Howie hill is included in the loop I will give you, and if you want to punish your friends with some real rocks, i will get together with eugene to make the loop for you....he is good at finding the rocks :laugh: I will have a map made up in a few days and send it to you.....it looks like I will have plenty of time to make maps with all the rain in the forcast.

I have a run mapped out for you, I just need to make sure it will work because some of the single track will be marked 1 way by then, and I want to make sure I have you going the right way. I will also add a few rock gardens into the loop.........just make your friends on the mx bikes go first so you can laugh at them, then after they start, you can take the bypass and skip the rocks :laugh: I will finish it this Sunday after I see which way the single track runs.

Good luck trying to get Eugene to figure it out. Every time we go there he is like ok Steve you go and I will follow. He has a hard time following the map.
I on the other hand would love a copy of it when you get done. If you can email it to me that would be great.

Thanks Dan we have to get hook up again.

Hey Scooter, is it possible to get an electronic topo map copy from your GPS? You know that awesome hudge color one you whipped out of your truck cab the other weekend with the trails marked on it and all the little unmarked secret bat cave trails and stuff :) ? That was awesome, I would love have that for my hand held and even to print a big one out like the one you have.

Hevster,
Nope, I never got around to joining the ridge riders.....but I will.
korky,
I won't be able to get the map I wanted for you since I am having computer problems and can't use the mapping software right now, but I will use the existing map and plot out a loop for you, and I will draw in some single track so you will have an idea where to find it. I will have that done on Wednesday, and email it to you.
