I am near the tri state area.. ride in the Poconos mostly... have some local trails but nothing great.

Was thinking snow shoe rails to trails would be decent.. Also a couple of rides near the RAC coming up.

Local site I use for riding is theatvzone.com. Great group of older people (no young punks)...

I`m in south central PA, I`m up for a weekend trip let me know.

im suppose to come next sat 18th to pa area, ill find out from friend where we are heading too and let you know. im thinkinin the poconos area........

I`m leaving on the 18th for vacation, that figures

Hey,
I rode lost trails (pocono area)... To many rocks, its the second time I have been out.

RAC would be fun, but I dont know the area that well.

My inlaws are in that area, but it will be summer before I get down that way with the quad.

RAC is 22000 acres for $100 a year in treverton pa/pottsville pa.

Look on youtube for treverton.. mostly hill climbs on youtube but it has it all.. awesome place to ride.

also on theatvzone.com look at camp ziggy, $20 a day for camping and safe parking in private lot. a week long ride july 4th-12th is coming up. You have to show up in person to get a permit which I strongly recommend having.

Are all the trails coal mining trails and rocky,like in videos?

No, you have the full mix mud, dirt, and coal BUT it is a coal mining operation so expect some...

As far as rocks, its PA.

yea , rocks for sure in the moutains there, im used to sand over here elevetation is like 50 feet above sea level haha

I went riding there last Saturday, too many rocks but I dont know of any other trails in the area. I am in Norther NJ...80 miles from Lost Trails.

Double O

Where can I find the info for camp ziggy on the ATVZone site, I'm also a member there and just picked my RAC permit today and am planning on heading that way this Sunday but would like some info towards where to park and ride, would really like to park at ziggy's but can't find any info towards the location. Oh! Yeah! I'm old fart but ride like I'm still young, lol!!

Here is the ziggy page..

Just post and ask for directions etc.

Here is a google map of the location

everyone else, check out the satellite view crazy how much area to ride.

Thanks found it, Ziggy sent me a note with the address then did a live map search and there are numerous trails right of his camp site, it's going to be fun. Bike and I are ready to rumble this Sunday:yay:

How was the riding at RAC

yeah how was it? I plan on riding between june15-19th, one of those days. I need to find a member to let me in, otherwise its $200 for the year.

I'm up for it, heading towards Dixon this Saturday then ziggy the following weekend, it's safe to leave your car there and they are all good people and the trails are great in that area.
As for the Coal mine trails, it was brought to my attention about enhaling the coal dust while on the coal trails so now I try to avoid them or wear a mask. Too old to lose my lungs.

Oh man... I wish I had read this earlier.

I just confirmed a SSRT ride June 17, and 18th with my buddy. He never gets time to go anywhere.. Also got a hotel through expedia that has a fee to cancel.

Not to sound ignorant but what is SSRT

SSRT is snow shoe rails to trails located near Penn State in PA (about an hour). Closer to bellefont.

ssrt.org about 100 miles of trails total so I am told, and the best part. Only $15 a year!

Says you are about 3 hours to snow shoe.. you should definitely check it out.

I bought the xx because i like to go fast, ssrt has speed limits, none of wich exceed 20mph. Not my kind of riding . I don`t mind puttin around on trails, But at some point, I just gotta let loose....

20 mph? Might as well get a rock crawler.

Went to dixon today and it is rocky, some trails were good and quick but overall it was rocky and single track, started to get busy so I left...too many chances for a head on collision especially going down or up a steep hill

suggested speed limit. 2 guys cover 100000 acres.. so yeah. I dont think they are sitting with a radar gun.

For example, a local place has a 30 mph speed limit. The terrain is tough, so going any faster is next to impossible. Some sections you can open it up.

Just like driving, be safe on corners, if an opening or opportunity comes up. Nail it!

Rule # (7. Slow Speed Zone (5 miles per hour) are designated in the following locations: All bridges, tunnel, residential areas near Clarence Archery Shop through Number 10, Gillentown. Speeds should not exceed 20 miles per hour in all other areas.) Doesn`t sound suggested to me. I`m the guy who would be wot in third right as one of those two guys show up. Then he would be angry with me and kick me out. BANNED FOR LIFE. As far as safe on corners, I raced micro sprints, corners are for getting sideways. lol...

Has anybody gone to http://www.rockrunrecreation.com/

FishersATVworld went there and supposedly it's real nice and fun. From what I can see by their maps, they have numerous trails. It's right outside of Patton, PA

never heard of it.. says 5 hours, bit far.

Yeah! That is pretty far. What about http://www.rockrunrecreation.com/index.php?page=home

Thats about 3 hours from me, I might have to check it out

It's less than an hour from me, I've been trying to figure out when I can make it up there. I've heard nothing but good things about the place.

Let me know if its worth an overnight stay...

Yeah! Thinking about going there the last weekend of June, perhaps make it a 3 day weekend and rough out the camping
