Definitely. Been considering getting back into dirt bikes, lots of riding options out here.

Where did you guys ride? I see some traffic in the background - used to see ORV's riding at 441 and Riverland Rd. once in a while.

A friend of mine from work goes to Brown Mountain all the time (that's probably much closer to you than me) for trail riding. From what he says, you can spend days out there and never hit the same trail. And I've heard of at least 2 MX tracks out this way, one near Raleigh and one near Goldsboro. I'm sure there are more (or hope).

A few more: Speed Compound in Sanford, NCMP in Henderson, Cape Fear MX park in Elizabethtown.

This place is right off the Turnpike in Lake Worth. It's a fun place to spend a few hours but too small to spend all day there.

Most places in the tri-county area have been built on or shut down. There is still some great riding in the middle of the state.

The Blaster was my way to segway back into the dirt. T feels more comfortable on 4 wheels and I wanted her to be able to join in. She has had a blast the few times she has been out.

I'll definitely be picking up a 2-wheeler after we close on the new place.

Yeah, looked like a good playground to kill some time. That's one thing I disliked about the area down there - not much undeveloped land to play on.

That's awesome you got T out there with you, good move. So far I've only been able to get M into 4-wheelers with full cabins and climate control - aimed for the mall.

I'm keeping my eyes open for a nice CR450F this winter. I don't konw how it'll compare to the CR250's of yester-decade, but it seems pretty easy on the maintenance book. And I don't need another toy that needs work all the time.

The F's are pretty easy maintenance wise. The R's are a bit more high-strung and will need to be rebuilt more often. Nothing like the old 2-smokes though.

I was impressed with how much T liked it, especially when we went mid-state and got seriously dirty.

One of the guys we went with the "The Praire" put up some pics on SoFla, I'll find you the link.
