Calendar Last Ohio ride before the ODNR rolls up the trails for the year.

[lee]

Lets do this again, one last ride before we have to mount the snow plows 2020!

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: Saturday October 31st (beggers night).

The trails

Warning: to ride at Perry you must have Ohio state APV registration.
I usally like to be all organized and post links for pertinent inrormation but not tonight.
The state web site is impossible to navigate (they where hacked earlyer this year) and I worked late and I'm cranky.

The ride

This is supper casual run what you brung.
I'm not supper organized, I figured when a few people show up we will hit some trails.

Camping

Perry Back Woods Campground is next door.
I plan to camp Friday night then move my trailer over to the trail head.
You can ride from the camp to the trails.
No camping at the trail head.

When to ride

I plan to snag an area at the trail head, the area marked P on the map.
Not sure on a start time, post up when you think you will be there.
Look for a Honda banner hung on the ramp door of my box trailer.


Well, let me know what you think.

62". They do not check. I've seen plenty of Talon R, Can Am and Polaris machines over that.

@Firemedic530 @CMB come on out and ride with us!

Depends on work, and when it is.

I will if we aren't in Tennessee.

I think I’ll try to make it. I’m not sure if the wife will go again lol.

Wish I could make the ride. I'll be in Ohio a week to soon though and will be back in Arkansas by the time you guys hit the throttle. Anyone know of good trails around Athens County?

Damn I'll be on call the week you are hear. Otherwise I'd try to meet up with you and ride some. I'll let you know when it gets closer how things look.

What size is you machine? If you are in a 500 hit the Wayne National Forest up there. If you are bigger check out Perry or Wellsville or tecumseh. Athens County Crawlers doesn’t have a ride that weekend theirs is the same weekend as this one.

It will be hit or miss no matter where I ride when I get there. My son and daughter in law usually have something planned.

I've got a 1000 so riding is limited on Ohio public land at best. Really wish ODNR would figure out they can make money if they opened Wayne to all sxs's year round and charge a daily fee like they do here. Hell, a horse tears up trails worse. Athens County was my stompin grounds thirty years ago. Back then spending tons of money to save a bug that wasn't in danger and kissing trees was the focus, don't appear it changed any. Don't get me wrong, I love southeast Ohio, just not the politics.

Well, weather looks a little cool a Kalifornia boy but I want to ride.

Well, let me know what you think.

Hope this helps.. 😉

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..

I have not seen any rangers at Perry this year. With Covid and the BMV lines and issues, they will not be enforcing the stickers through this year. Most BMV offices require an appointment or have long lines. With them not enforcing license plate renewals until after December 1, I would believe you could claim COVID for your APV tag and be fine.

Well, it looks like I have screwed this up.
I called the campground and they are telling me there is a enduro going on next weekend and Perry will be packed.
Not sure being a rolling road block will be fun.
The campground has been booked out for a while.

I'm thinking we should pull the plug.
Sorry guys, some one needs to put together a training packet for setting up rides.
Certainly outside of my wheel house.
On top of all this I have been working a little too much (10 till midnight on a Saturday and I just sent off my last e-mail).

So, Oct 31st ride at Perry is off.
