Welcome, I'm pretty new also but really like it so far. I say talk about where your gonna eat then ride there ! Also, I stop at the Gas America in Brookville (Exit 21) when I travel west.
It will be interesting for sure. I think we will see a smarter more mature racer in Stewart like the end of last season. That's how he won the championship, so now he knows that's what it will take once again. I hope I'm wrong though,
It's all dangerous to some extent. I know people that's crashed on cruisers, rockets, dirt bikes, and quads. If I died on my quad, at least I went happily !
Summit indoors MX races at Summit County fairgrounds. It's a really good time but dress warm. http://www.intra-action.com/Default.aspx?alias=www.intra-action.com/cra
I mostly ride at Harris Acres, a private XC course about a half hour from home. I also ride Wayne National Forest alot, I always get the annual permit for $45. I try to hit Crow Canyon once or twice a year. I've also been to Perry State Forest.
