    Not many flat spots here. Lots of hills and single tracks. If you like to go up and down travel north. :)

    Southern MI has all the MX tracks. All the public trail systems are in the northern parts of the state and into the UP. I wish I had a helmet cam. I'll work on it for the fall trail ride. Otherwise, you can check out the public tracks at:

    Georgia here. TONS of places to ride trails, tracks,
    woods, orv parks, motocross parks, tons of riding parks with camping....and all of them are about 2 hrs from Atlanta where I live, but worth it. So many choices, so little time. No rain for days, so really dusty now....with red Georgia clay, white riding clothes not an option here. We wear red and orange....hee hee.

    Florida here! Flat level no bumps! Except for the tracks which there are plenty of mainly sand! But fun none the less. Only 2 OHV places to ride and 1 is over 2 hours away and the other is over 6 hours. So I stick to the MX tracks. Oh yeah stinking hot and humid! 85-95 degrees and 85 to 100% humidity.

    It is a real 12 month season here. In the summer you can go up and in the winter you can go down in elevation, all within an hours drive.

    Prescott, AZ!

    Nor Cal is the bomb, but I still love blasting the desert once in a while.

    If you are in the valley it is much more difficult. It probably takes you as long to get out of the valley as it does for me to get to good riding allot of places. I do enjoy the desert riding though.

    The single track is the top of the Yankee Doodle trail that goes to the top of Union mountain in the Bradshaws, the bike pic is out in Skull Valley and the third is the Bradshaws again

    I live in Lodi Ca. Am literally surrounded with great places to ride A couple of favoritesforrest hill mostly Pipi (elkins flat area) several trail systems in the general area. Great single track to beautifull scenic fire road. a ton of national forest to ride as well as several OHV parks Hollister Hills, Carnagie, Frank Raines. Moto X although I don't care much for it these days Is a plenty as well. All this from 45 min to 2hr drive. the forest is less than 1.25 hr from home and is my mainstay.

    Get up in the morning, couple cups of coffee while putting on my gear, push bike out of garage and start it, open gate and ride. Hundreds of square miles of open desert and mountains and being retired, I can do this every day. :D
