Hey Gang
I was just worndering if anyone else here lives in or around Memphis and where do you ride? I live in Southaven MS which is just on the out skirts of Memphis. I only know a couple or other quad ridders in the area but I know there has to be more.

Hey Chris
Mostly I just ride around my house. I have about 100 acres of woods about a half mile away and that is where I do most of my ridding. The best place I have rode is in the Ozarks in the Blanchard Springs area just outside Fifty Six AR. Theres tons of trails and old logging roads.You can ride allday and never go down the same one twice.

Andy, there are about 7 of us that go to Turkey Bay OHV area in Kentucky. Have you Been there?? Its a great place for woods riding and hill climbing. Ive never been to blanchard springs to ride, sounds good though. We ride along the Mississippi river here, when the waters down like it is now its pretty good riding. How old are you and what do you ride? I am 33 and ride a 400EX with some slight mods (pipe,jet-kit,and K&N filter). Most of the guys i ride with have banshees and some 4 wheel drives. Im the only 400 here.

I have heard of Turkey Bay but I havent been there and it sounds like a good place to ride. I am 29 and have a 98 Polaris Xplorer 400 which I love. I think it is the perfect bike for me.

Hows it going? I live in south east memphis, three miles north of olive branch MS. i usually ride around my house (where they are clearing land for housing) but on dry weekends i go to AR. I ride a 400ex, my wife rides a 250recon and my freind that lives in marion AR rides a 300ex. There is a place about 5 miles outside of marion called fowler sand and gravel pits. It is fairly popular with the people around the area. There are three magor sand pits with hill climbs for all temperments, various jumps, trails, and long road for late afternoon drag racing. The best part is when you make a new hill by the next weekend it is completely different(being a working sand pit). lots of freindly folks riding atvs, dirt bikes, and occasionally sand buggies (it is cool to see them climb 20ft hills). just thought i'd let you know. ride safe and have fun!

Nope I havent been to either place yet but plan to before long. I know a guy that rides in the Coldwater bottoms and he say that it is great but the it is usually a compleate mud bog and is best suited for 4X4's. Also heard that there are good trails at Sardis but dont know yet.
Thanks Again
