Where do you live and how far of a drive is it to Breezewood Proving Grounds in South Central Pennsylvania? Have you been to the park before? Is it worth the trip?
Thanks for posting !

The average Breezewood rider travels 2 hours to get here !

I try and make up for the long drive by keeping the tracks open longer - you can ride here from 8am until 8pm !

We also offer multiple ride day discounts to encourage you to stay longer and ride More !!

Cabin rentals right at the track are the way to go if you have a long way to travel. Nothing better then staying at the track with a group of your riding buddies !

anyway I'm working on an incentive plan to offer a discount to the person who drives and has more then 3 riders in their vehicle! I'll post when I know what I'm doing !

I came once in the camper with some friends and it was about 4 hours. We got a 1/2 day in and it rained the rest of the weekend ( went out once in the mud) that was a couple years ago and would like to come back and see what you have changed.

Hey Dan, its 14 hrs for me, but more like 16-18 with all the pee stops and gas stops. I would love to come up there, but it is rediculously expensive for me... I am a poor college student with poor college student friends... Its always been a dream to come up there. I have wanted to since i was a kid.

If you come up with an incentive thing, let me know... I am pretty sure i am one of the farthest. I can for sure get 4 to 5 people.

7 hours by google maps.

From the amount of people that want me to let them know when my kid and I are heading down, it would probably be a big group.

Pick a weekend and get a cabin booked - they book up fast this time of year. I recommend coming in on Thur and staying 'till Sunday. Thursday you'll have the tracks to yourself and will be able to get them dialed in before the weekend riders get here.

If your driving from that far, I'll either let you pay for a two day pass and you can ride for 4 or as long as you have 4 riders, I'll let the driver ride free ! 14 hours is a long trip !!!

16 hours 26 mins. Unfortunately I can't say it's worth it to me since there are so many great tracks here in FL

It's only 3-4 hours for me. Doesn't seem so bad compared to alot of others. Always a great time. When you bend an axle, blow a rear shock twice and have other minor issue's but go home happy every time. Thats money well spent. I am trying to plan a April trip with possibly others. Can't wait.

its a little over an hour for me, ive been there many times in the last three years its a little more expensive but its well worth it because the tracks are always awesome and you get way more ride time, and dan is an awesome guy he's always out either in the tractor just talking with people or riding with you on the tracks

6.5 hrs (about 5.5 hrs too far). It is well worth the couple of trips I make there each summer. I spent the entire week helping with Dream Camp last summer and hoping it works out so I can do that again this summer.

I'm probably more than a few hours. You tell me how far you are from Buffalo , and then add 7 hours for me to get to Buffalo. :ermm:

I've made it in about 3 1/2 hours from south Jersey. Definitely worth the trip. There are great cabins, and you can reserve one by calling. The contact information and info about the park can be found at www.breezewoodprovinggrounds.com. Make sure you bring your wife - there are quite a few other women on 400's there!

I live 1.5 hours away and it was definately worth the trip. The intermediate track is so much fun to run motos on. I have only been there once becuase it's really hard to get away for a day.

Door to track is 211 miles one way. One time I totaled 844 miles, I got to the track rode all weekend forgot something went home & got it came back to the track. Its takes between 3 1/2 to 5 hours one way, just depends how much of the family comes with me. Our riders range from 6- 49. We have 5 riders.

Would highly recommend the trip, some of my best memories come from BPG.

They recoginizes me as a winner :rolleyes: :devil:

No need to mention my awards - they are proudly displayed :blah: :macho

A big thanks to all the riders who make the haul out to the proving grounds each year ! I enjoy building and working on the tracks and the entire park, I always look forward to meeting and riding with people at the park! If you ride Motocross, or want to start riding motocross your gonna love this place ! For those that live really far, make it a week trip, spend a day traveling each way then 3 or 4 days at the park. You won't get bored with the tracks - If ya do I'll build ya something big and scary ! lol When it warms up we have a killer pond for swimming that has a great beach for the women and an awesome 80 foot waterslide. Horse shoe pits and volleyball. Best of all you can stay in our 2 story airconditioned Cabins that have 2 full baths and a complete kitchen. The cabins are right at the track - makes for an awesome vacation, ride all day, grill out, then sit back and relax at your firepit before calling it a day !

Our 2011 Outlaw Racing Series has a $1,000 payout in the money class race during our QUADAPALOOZA WEEKEND: Saturday and Sunday Sept 24th. This is a Quad Only weekend and we have an evening race schedule with open riding all day. If your fast - winning this race could pay for the trip?

Big Don is a Winner !!! Brings his entire family out here to ride several times each season !! Don represents well in the vet/senior class !!! His son Zach could be the man to beat in the money race !!! Looking forward to seeing you guys soon!
