I'm probably done riding for the year but who knows. I was at rocky glen earlier this year and its an OK place at best. Lots of gravel and sand. Spazmoso has a thread in the General Discussion forum about meeting at Badlands in Indiana this Sunday. He swears by the place and goes there all the time.

Not completely sure, I will most likely be back for the summer if I don't get accepted to summer school.  Even if I do I will be back for at least a couple weeks at the beginning of the summer.

Hope you get some good weather. Once March rolls around we can start talking about getting a ride goin. I've got a lot goin on these days so probably won't ride again. Give us an update if you go gryzz and maybe some pics if you get a chance.

you guys already done ridin for the year? just dress for the season. my son and I ride almost year round. coldest part is your neck. I cut the sleeve off a long sleeve t-shirt and pull it over my head. keep it over your eyes cause when the helmet goes down it pulls it down just right. If you all ever get down near st.louis MO st.joe state park bout 1hr. south is one of the best trail rides I seen. cost $5 a head. cant beat that for a day of fun.

So spaz you've been to all of the places mentioned so could you describe each place and assign your own rating? Scale of 1 to 10 maybe.
