Checking in from southern OR-ee-gone!

Most of our riding areas are closed at present because of fire restrictions, but when they are open, we have some fantastic trail/mountain riding down here. We ride mostly John's Peak (Timber Mountain). Our local MRA owns quite a bit of land up there with access to BLM and Boise land in some areas. We are forever working with our trails, making new ones, cleaning up old ones, etc. Every year we have two family events for both quads and MCs, the Ghost and Goblins Poker Run (coming up) and the May Poker Run. We also have the Timber Mountain Hare Scrambles for MCs. Our family rides John's Peak just about every weekend that it is open, and have been doing so for years. There are STILL places that we have not been. There is riding for all levels, extreme (you shouldn't oughta be there, but go for it anyway), to intermediate, to beginner. Fun for the whole family.

We also have the Prospect OHV system. We (the MRA) have been working with the DOF and the powers that be to get, and keep, a huge system going up there. Also a lot of fun, and great camping (not to mention fishing) if that's what you're after. I can get you a map of that entire system, we're still in the process of mapping the John's Peak area.

We welcome, and look forward to, anyone joining us up there!

Feel free to contact if you would like more details.

p.s. The woods should be opening up here pretty soon. We got a little rain over the past couple of days. My huband just called the DOF yesterday and they said we need more before they will open the woods. We pester them to death, it seems they're not usually too anxious to broadcast it when they finally DO open the woods, if ya get my drift.

 

I live in Seattle, WA, but my parents live in Port Angeles, WA. I ride in Port Angeles and surrounding areas almost every weekend. There are soooo many places to go riding on the penninsula.

I think it would be cool to hop on the ferry and shoot over to Victoria and go ride over there, but the question is how to get the bike over there... to bring a truck on the ferry is not cheap! Walking across isnt to expensive, but I cant walk my quad across. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] It would be cool if they would let me drive my ATV onto the ferry, then have somebody on the other side pick me up. LOL.. somehow I dont think that would go over to well with the ferry people though. I have a few friends that work on the coho boat... maybe they can hook me up. heh

Sound like you are not too far where I live.... I live by the Wal-mart in Lynnwood area.

What quad do you have and I can point you the right direction....

Bill

 

Your close to me too... although I only ride out on the Olympic Peninsula. I dont know of anywhere near us to ride. I live in Kirkland (Totem Lake). I have a Polaris Scrambler 500 4x4. How old are you? what do you ride?

Joe

 

well i'm close to you all as well, i'm in sammamish/redmond/issaquah. the guy that got me into quads lives in bothel, he & i go riding occasionally at reiter, oregon dunes, and other places.
the closest place to ride for any of you (desracers, m3kgt, 02duramax, big honda)is reiter. just a warning: it is rocky, make sure you have a swingarm skidplate at the minimum. it's out hwy 2, 1 mile after goldbar(milepost 30) go left on reiter road, stay right at the fork, and you'll see the first staging area on the left after about ~1/2-3/4 mile. don't go into the gravel pit you pass on the right, it IS active. there are other (better) staging areas at reiter, but explaining how to get to them is tough...
if you want MX tracks: sky river in monroe, dirty dawg in bonney lake(new), pacific raceways in kent, oakwood arena in roy, and hannegan in bellingham are the closest. there are many others too, i have info & links for most of them.

 

Thanks everyone,

I went to Reiter Road about 2 weeks ago, and yes its very rockie. I bent my rear disc some how. I dont even know when it happened, not really the kind of ridding I like. I ride a 2002 Raptor and I like open fields with jumps and hills, but im not really into trail riding unless the rocks are not there. Has anyone else been to Reiter Road. That place will take a toll on your bike.
Im 27 years old and I moved to Washington to be with my Girlfriend. I had tons of ridding buddys back in California, but here in Washington I have no friends. I work all week at a local Bodyshop and dont have much time to meet any new friends. This move is kinda tuff on me. I heard about a ORV park some where around here that has good ridding. The guy that told me about it said it was great for snowmobiles. I will look it up soon on the web. Thanks for the help everyone.... Jason

 

Jason -
You into cars at all? You said you work at a body shop right? If your into cars and stuff, let me know... I am part of a local Motorsports team... you could come hang with us sometime. You'd be one of the oldest though. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] We're all like 20 - 24.

 

Yeah im into cars. I guess im into hotrods more then anything, older cars. I have owned a 70 Chevelle with a 454 running NOS it ran a 12.00 without NOS and it was a daily driver. I also owned a 67 nova but never finished it. I sold it to move up here. I also owned a 71 Lemans Sport with a 455 and 67 firebird (never finished sold as parts). What goes on around here? Thanks Again

 

What goes on around here? Well... not a whole lot. I work Mon-Fri durring the day and go to school at night. On the weekends I normally head out of town to go ride my quad. I have family that lives on the peninsula, so thats where I ride. As for the cr scene, its pretty big around here, but mostly imports. Honda, Mitsubishi, Acura, Toyota, etc... you can check out our website at www.sirrommotorsports.com We have some sweet cars on our team. A 500HP Porsche, a Civic with a B20 engine and a high PSI turbo powering it... anyway, check out the website, sign up for the message board if you want. We have about 130 active members on the forums... might be a way to meet people. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
