    Hey-
    My friend and I both live in rockford. Specifically Loves Park. He rides a 400 and I am in the process of getting a 400. You know of any places to ride around here? I know of the little track in Brodhead. I also know there is a mx track out in Joliet but that is a little ways a way. Let me know if you know of anything. We can probly get together and go riding sometime. We have a bunch of friends that ride. They ride dirt bikes though, but hey at least they are someone to ride with.

    There is a MX track in Byron and also Mendota (races only). There is a quad/dirt bike park by Ottawa. If you want more information call Ty at Hammer Time Sports in Belvidere. 815-544-5800. He's the man to see for parts too.

    Fox Valley O/R is pretty good. The owner is always doing a lot of the work on the property. Since last summer, he has made more trails, and set up a nice little track. There is also another location in Ottawa (south of I-80) that is ATV-only, there is a large track with some nice hills and a couple jumps. Trails are OK. One of the best places around here is the Badlands in Attica, IN www.badlandsoffroad.com . 700 acres including tons of trails, sand dunes, etc. It's a 2.5 hour ride from Chicago, so your best bet would be to make a weekend of it.

    Thumbs up Trails in WI

    hey,
    Anybody interested in some awesome trail riding??? Black River Falls is the place to be. I make frequent trips up there, it's about 3 hrs from East Dubuque, IL. There's about 100-150 miles of trails, mostly sand and very fast. There's some techinical stuff as well. Every Memorial weekend about 15-20 of us gather up there at a camp ground for a week of riding and having fun. I also own a cabin in the area (right off the trail) that we go to at least once a month. Anybody interested shoot me an e-mail and we can work something out. FYI-this Memorial, to date we have 17 quads going on the trip, mostly 400's..
