   So what kind of ride(s) and location are you hoping and planning for in 2013? Do you keep a future dirt biking bucket list? Events you catch every year? Tell us about it....

   This year Hatfield-McCoy WV area to ride . Also SE OH. As usual lots of Michigan, New Mexico dualsport riding. Will likely ride the LooseNut DS ride in Evansville IN again this year also.

not too much, hope to make the Pine ridge (if they have it) and Inyan Kara enduros on the 300 and maybe get back to Moab on the 990? I would also like to spend a couple weekends on the Big Horns on the 990. other than that just the usual trails around here with a few friends..

I would like my dirt bike to run for an entire day without acting up. Hope springs eternal that the float height adjustment I just did (last weekend) will solve the issue.
EDIT: After three rides, the bike has started every time and can even be kick-started now (first kick). I think it's actually fixed (keeping fingers crossed).

The Hatfield-McCoy trail system is a half day drive away and I'd like to spend a long weekend checking it out.

I would also like to ride the Blackwater 400 route R Doug and I cobbled up from beginning to end. Maybe even extend it to a 600 mile three-day ride.

First event of 2013 for me will be a Hare Scramble on January 6th.   Bigsmile

Hatfield McCoy is on the to do list but no date set. Hard to say what the rest of the year will bring.

I should have the trails at the property in order by late spring and I've scoped out some more of the twisty gravel roads in the area.  Bigok

It's roughly 200 miles of mostly dirt roads from the Laurel Highlands area of southwestern PA (Seven Springs ski resort) down to Blackwater Falls State Park/Canaan Valley. Then return the next day via a different, mostly dirt road ride. You can add a third day in the middle to do a loop to south that includes Dolly Sods, Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob, etc.

Hi Garry, Do you know what the cost is for a yearly pass?  Aslo, is it possible to get a detailed route for the Blackwater 400?

Thanks,
Chris

RE: H-M trail pass
I don't know, but off to google I go and the answer is....  $50 for non-residents

RE: BW400 Route

This is just a project R Doug and I had a couple years ago. We have never actually ridden the entire loop in one shot. It is possible that some of what we mapped out is closed now. I have an old GDB file, but I can't vouch for it in 2013.

Thanks for the info.  The website must not have loaded correctly for me.Headscratch

I am new to offroad riding and want to get an idea of what is legal to ride and what isn't.  There doesn't appear to be any riding in the Lancaster area so I will be checking out Tuscarora State Park and Michaux State Forest when it warms up a bit.

Did the Hatfield-McCoy with a bunch of my WV hillbilly Honda friends guiding the way.  It was fun.  Not challenging fun.  Pretty easy going but the time with friends making it a few days of good memories.  I'd do it again
