@ProudDadOf5 yes that is it.

If I get home at a decent time (not likely the way things are going) I will take a picture of my trailer and post it up.

Lets have one last ride before we have to mount the snow plows!

Quick info:

What: informal one day ride in the middleish of Ohio.

Where: Riding at Perry state Forrest APV area (between Columbus and Zanesville sort of)

When: Sunday October 20th.

The trails

Warning: to ride at Perry you must have Ohio state APV registration. (this is why I am listing this as a state event)
There are some exceptions for street registration or out of state (must have your home state APV registration).
For details consult the Ohio BMV.
State of Ohio BMV

Perry is a relatively small riding area, there are multiple loops from a central staging area.
See the State Forrest web site:
http://forestry.ohiodnr.gov/perry
And the map pdf:
http://forestry.ohiodnr.gov/Portals/forestry/PDFs/SF/perry_apv.pdf

Perry is the only state ride area that doesn't require staying on the trails.
There are a few hill climbs and some out law trails (mostly in the southern half)
The only restriction, stay out of the grey mud.
It's some kind of tailings left over from the mining, it will suck you down to the skidplate and not let go.

There is a 62" rule.
A stock p1k fits on the trails just fine.
No gates or anything, don't need @JACKAL to get you threw (Or not).

The ride

My image is, we set up in the staging area (there are a few picnic tables and a vault toilet).
Ride in and out when ever.
Sit around and bs between riding.

This is supper casual run what you brung.
There is no need to bring tools or crazy quantitys of spare parts.
If you break or get stuck there will be some one to pull you out or back to the trail head.
You probably dont need to bring extra gas, the APV area is just not that big.

Camping

There is a campground next door.
You can ride from the camp to the trails.
No camping at the trail head.

Perry Backwoods Campground

When to ride

I plan to snag an area at the trail head, the area marked P on the map.
We will have some type of banner, either my Honda banner hung on the ramp door of my trailer or maybe even a HondaSxS.com banner.
Start time is when you arrive, end time is when you load up and pull out (Forest closes at 11pm).
I may show up the night before and camp but camping is not officially part of the event. (your welcome to hang out with us thou).


So, who's in?
@Neohio , @Zaleski , @JeremieBaker ?

Who else?

Hey @lee, is the 62” rule for rider height?

Hey @lee, is the 62” rule for rider height?

We where keeping that fact under wraps, didn't want @JTW to catch on that this is a midget ride.

The 1st post has a link to the forest service website that has the rules.
There has been some discussion on this, guys with p1k that have riden at Perry are of the opinion a p1k will squeak by as a farm rig
If you show up with a Talon R good luck.
Also, it will be a target rich environment for the p1k.

I, on the other hand have a p500.
Was originally thinking we should ride at Wayne which has a 50" restriction but as @Chooglin had some other stuff going on (I heard he's scared of a little mud) it would have been a lonely ride event.

Me likes mud so you guys are going to a place called Perry now ?

 

[lee]

Yes, Perry is not so width restricted and they allow off trail excursions.
It's probably better for a bunch of guys that can't color between the lines.

LMAO, that’s cool. I was checking to see how many of mine I could bring.. Gonna be 0 kids on that note..

 

[Neohio]

@ProudDadOf5 you can bring your kids! 62" is the max width of your machine, not minimum height of your child!

Thx @Neohio, much appreciated.. I know they have height requirements on the Hatfield Mccoy trails round here..

 

[Bigshow]

If I would of seen this sooner I would of come, but made plans yesterday to ride with some buddys at their private sportsman club. Would I make it with my OG Maverick as it is 64"? Ohio hates most SxS with 50" and 62" restrictions.

You know me so well!!! A little Asian midget would be the tits!!!

 

[ProudDadOf5]

For out of town riders like me (WV) please see below, we have to obtain a permit through the BMV.. I just need to find one close enough to the trails.. I'm confused from the State Forest rules and BMV rules (outlined in gray).. Does anyone know if I need to obtain a permit even though I have a valid registration and full coverage insurance? I tried calling the number and got no answer..

Your highlight in the bottom pic says you are fine if you are legal in your home state. Keep screenshots on your phone of that if you are challenged.

Yessir, you got that right.. Thx for helping me out I have both pics captured..

 

[NTCPrezJB]

I’m trying to get everything together to head to Perry tomorrow. I still have to go to the BMV for the APV plate in the morning. I did get my trailer, SxS and riding gear here at least.

 

[Chooglin]

Looks like you guys will have some good weather for the ride!

 

[JACKAL]

Not going to make it this weekend, just isn't going to work out scheduling wise. Hope you guys have a blast and a decent turnout. Be sure and post pictures of your shenanigans.

Someone said it....I can’t find the title so I can’t get the plate. I’m out
