MX Ridin in the Chicago/Wisconsin area???

[EM JAY]

  So I finally got a bike to play on (CRF150) and nowhere to play!!!!!!!!!   

Any ideas???? 

I'm like 20min south of Wisconsin, 40min north of Chicago........

Good luck. Unless you know some one with private land, it's pretty hard to come by. There is Bong Rec. Area near Burlington WI that , for a fee, has trails. But I think it's just a giant, flat loop.

 Sweet.  Thanks...  Bong is the closest to me, heard it was eh.. so so ..  I'd like to try one in Rockford too, supposta be heading to the Ottawa track on Monday..    Thanks again folks!!

Bong will wear you out if you ride all the loops.  There are some challenges to it for a novice rider, but nothing crazy.  It's cheap fun on a 150.  A 150 isn't an uber motocross bike anyhow, so I wouldn't try any heavy MX with it, assuming you're over 100lbs.

We ended up @ Buffalo range today (Ottawa, il).  Rode into a bog and got the bike stuck up to the axels.  EmJay and I took a good 10-15 minutes to heave it out.  Otherwise we had a great time.  The sand track is definately challenging.  Did lots of woods riding and a couple of stream crossings which are alway fun.  Beautiful day and maybe 7 other riders.
