garbo-

no dice on the sand dunes, the local barney fife would love for you to try (they get kinda bored, and would just love to pick on a west coast, dirtbiking hooligan:) ) We have lots of trails that are pure sand. I stick mainly to the tracks (MX not RR). we do have much better beaches and ocean than the west coast. come check it out when it warms up.

directions to race

When you take x 123 go south on hwy 321. I think it is the first x on the south bound lane. Just look for hwy 127. Turn right when you get to the end of the exit. stay on that road. The signs should be up. You can go to www.shelby.net/mideast/ and click on links and go to Victory sports. you can find directions there also.

I don't know much about the places in NC, but about 30-45 minutes south of Charlotte is http://tntmotorsportsinc.com (probably 1 - 1.5 hours for you).

Garbo,
Welcome to NC. There are great places to ride all over as you have heard here. Brown Mt., and Uhwarrie are fun but with lots of rocks. TNT also sounds great and I hope to try it for my first time SOON. In SC there is a fun place to ride that is open all year in Francis Marion Nat'l Forest near Charleston, aka: The Swamp Fox. They have a dual sport ride Jan the 18th with an enduro the 19th. Some buds and I will be doing the DS the 18th for the third yr. Despite what they say about DOT knobbies and all I have seen two smokes without a tag make the run with no problem. I am not advocating sircumventing the law, I'm just saying I have never seen a problem unless you act like an $#@hole, in which case you will get "lost in the swamp" for a long time. The ride is about 105 miles and a bunch of fun. Totally flat sandy stuff with no hills at all, lots of tight single track and lots of fast fire roads last year. Check it out @ www.familyriders.org. Hey YARDPRO, where on SOBX are some trails? I've been coming to Buxton / Hatteras area for years to fish but have never ridden. Used to stay with Anne and Fodie up in Buxton but now usually stay down in Hatteras. Lemme know where you are and I'll buy you a bowl of bisque at Sandbar some Friday if you show me the trails!

Thanks for the info, sounds like a great ride but I have finished my tour of duty and am back in beautiful southern Cali enjoying the lack of hard tall TREES that just seem to jump out infront of you just as you are getting your confidence back!!!

Although I never got a chance to say goodbye, I wanted to say thanks to High Lord Gomer, Mac, Truespode and the rest for the fun times down at TNT. Hope all is well and Happy Holidays- Garbo

ocechap, where is huntersville in relation to salisbury? My father-inlaw and I are looking for people to ride w/places to ride.

 

[flynbryan]

rebelXR4 do you have any details about Francis Marion? What part of the park is open to dirtbike/atvs? I checked the site and it didnt give any details for ohv's. Thanks

 

[Rebel XR4]

flynbryan,
The Francis Marion Natl Forest riding area is called The Wambaw Cycle Trail, named after the Wambaw Swamp Wilderness area. It is a narrow figure 8 shape with two connecting loops of 20 miles each, for a total of 40 miles of offroad trail. If you have a tag or a Vermont license or something like that you have miles and miles of sandy roads to check out too. The rides the 18 and 19 Jan will use some of the trails, some powerline cut-throughs and lots of other stuff. Definately worth it if you ride trails. The DS ride the 18th is supposed to be 105 miles. WEEEHAAA! Wambaw Ranger District can be reached at (843) 887-3257 or if you are in Columbia the Francis Marion and Sumter Natl Forest Main office is at 4931 Broad River Rd, Columbia, SC, 29210, (803) 561-4000. You can get maps of this area and all the others there. The good thing about F.M. Natl Forest is that it is open all year round. Most of the others close from Dec. to April. Maybe HL Gomer can pick you up a map or something if he goes by there. Hope to see some DRN riders there in Jan.
