buildit Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Then you realize there are no local state ORV areas and private riding areas like Dayton Dirt Riders require a membership. So what's the Western Dual Sport rider who wants some off road riding to do? Check out Hidden Springs Ranch in Springfield Ohio. A great resource for Western Ohio dual sport riders.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH9WTlHKWI0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 For MX track lovers there's Pusheta Creek MX park outside Wapakonetahttp://www.pushetacreekmx.com/Good find:read: There are a number of private MX tracks in western Ohio because they require far less space. But actual off road areas are not as numerous. This used to be Buds and it got a bad rap for torn up trails and general lack of care. I've been pleased to see the turn around.There is also Thrashing trails in Enon but they let anything from side by sides to jeeps in there and it is falling into poor condition from what I've been told.

NateBob Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Can you 4 wheel there too? Are there places where you can rent dirt bikes for off road courses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 So what's the Western Dual Sport rider who wants some off road riding to do? they should go to SE ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Can you 4 wheel there too? Are there places where you can rent dirt bikes for off road courses? I don't know of any rental places nearby but ATVs are allowed but closely watched. The days of quads wallowing like pigs in a mud hole to see how deep they can get it are gone.they should go to SE ohio.If they have two to three hours to drive there, yes it would be better. But not everyone has time for 4-6 hours of driving to go play.For those interested:Contact us text message or phone * Hidden Spring Ranch4624 Dayton Springfield Rd Springfield OH , US , 45502Call:Kim @ 937-206-1028 And in case you're thinking a big dual sport wouldn't be a good bike there.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7xN4vm_wnoThis video was from back in Febuary...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYDPF74NBoY Edited June 28, 2012 by buildit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 most people I know go to haspen acres. http://haspinacres.com/It looks like Eaton is about half way between the two. Can't compare the two as I've never been to Haspin but hope to make it there and to Red Bird some time this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400exc Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 There is Longs Quarry in Lima. Not very big and the maintenance isn't very good, but it is a place to ride and close (for me at least) for the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to know if there is, I've got a cannondale cannibal that needs a workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 There is Longs Quarry in Lima. Not very big and the maintenance isn't very good, but it is a place to ride and close (for me at least) for the day.Tried to go riding at Longs lake on wednesday and they apparently close at 6 which means no weekday riding for me and they also closed off everything on the West side of the river except the Airstrip which is boring. Some asshat on as quad decided the bean field would be a great place to do doughnuts. so the Farmer ended up buying the land.On a side note, when the guy came over to tell us that they were closed he was Holding a High point in his hand. it took a minute before he stuck it in his back pocket with his wallet. couldnt even bribe him with $20 a piece to ride.

I was there a few years ago and between all Crap that was being used to play in the dirt( they let anything in). It wasn't exactly a pleasant experience.

buildit Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yeah, Richland Furnace used to be the same way.Indypup, my long distance travel is limited at the present by $$$ and being able to care for the dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indypup Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I need to check out Richland Furnace too. I've never been there either.Perry scared the hell out of me because of being such a mess with the trees down plus I was lost as soon as I left the parking lot. I won't go back there unless I'm with someone familiar with the place.I went to Pike yesterday and it's pretty tame compared to Perry. No single track at all and no riding off trail.

buildit Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I guess I should clarify, the Outlaw Richland Furnace before it was closed down and made a non motorized vehicle area. Richland Furnace ORV area is fine and always has been. But it has been expanded since those days. Last time I was there was before the big wind.
