Outside width needs to be no more than 12.5", you can be smaller than that, though... |

Beers to you John and to you Steve for help out with this! On a side note, take your time finding a spot. I mean, push it back a week or up a day to Saturday....not that I would have racing on that day also or anything.... |

I know where that is. Right behind Kmart with a huge lot next to Destinta. Looks like a good practice spot. I looked at that to but thought the amount of blacktop being a problem. Let me know what you thingk and maybe someone else can chime in. | |

Recon and more info to come.... Hey Steve when you drop off the rims, let John at AB-C know if I don't make to please bring them to track at Beaver on Sunday...Thanks!! |

Sounds good, If I can get some of the guys to go with me we might try to get to one of the practice comps to get to know everybody. I will let you know. I will have to get directions then, when I know we are coming. |

There is a place in Apollo called Roaring Run. It's a rails to trails type of paved trail with mountain bike racing in the woods also. We used to ride our dirt bikes around there and i remember there being rocky terrain like at Caspari. You may have to walk (or ride a bike) down the paved trail to get to some rocks though. Here is a cool site with pics to give an idea: http://www.nb.net/~resteele/photos/roaring_run/ |

It used to be a pretty popular dirt biking spot untill the paved bike trail went in. This place is about 10 minutes down the road from me. There is a parking area at the trail head. I will go this weekend and check it out. I'm going to go where we used to unload our bikes, which is away from the main parking area, and see how that area is. If anyone is looking to go on a bike ride, there is a paved trail that goes for a couple miles and then turns to a cinder-type trail till the end. It is only about a 5 mile ride and is very flat...good for kids and older peeps to ride on! Pretty easy to get to. Once you get to Apollo, you go across the Apollo bridge and turn right. The road is very narrow, almost one lane in fact, and it will split...follow the right road along the river and you can't miss it. Here's a link to directions: http://www.roaringrun.org/trail.html |
