Riders in Southern California not only have a 12-month riding year, they have a wide variety of tracks to choose from as well. There is not one day, or even night, that prepped, moist moto-dirt is unavailable for their roosting pleasure. Whether you are a SoCal local looking for the straight scoop or one of the faithful looking to make a pilgrimage to a moto Mecca, we have the goods.
Editor's Note
One of the most common requests we get at the Dirt Rider office concerns places to ride. This story is the first in what will hopefully become a series on great tracks and riding areas. For this series, we plan to go straight to the experts: those who use the tracks and riding areas.
Our staff has expert opinions on the tracks here in Southern California, so this guide deals with all of the best tracks we have available. In addition to the usual information, we're including candid remarks for every track we have personally visited. Soon, we will complete our SoCal tour with a story about off-road riding areas, and these stories will set the format we're looking for in sharing the nation's favorite tracks and off-road riding areas.
We're handling SoCal because we have local knowledge here. You are an expert about your own riding areas and tracks. If you want to see them featured in DR, get some good, high-quality shots, dig up the required information, put it in this format and send just the text (huge photos back up our email system) and your contact info to us at drmail@sorc.com to consider for coverage of your area. There are tons of riders out there who really want to know what you know.
