Live in Thunder bay in the winter, Atikokan in the Summers. Atikokan has a gigantic abandoned iron mine to ride and a pretty awesome MX track thats owned by the town so its free to ride pretty much anytime. Tracks volunteer run and they have two races a year I think. Looking for people to ride with In the Thunder Bay/Atikokan area and maybe try and get a hare scramble organized somewhere up here.  

hey, i live in thunder bay. lappe area to be more specific and i dont know where to ride. theres a few trails near where i live but would like to get out more

Live in London ride local tracks and ones fairly close by.  Looking to expand that.  But don't have plate so stuck riding private tracks and trails.

Just picking up dirt bikes again after many years on the street. Live in Burlington area.

Anybody here a member at The 15 Practice Track? Would like to ride there, but don't know a member to sign me in. Also, what do they charge per day?

[nickerkx]

started riding the 15 Practice Track.  We just showed up and Paid.  You pay a yearly $25.00 fee per family and then $25.00 per ride.   I will say this is the best track I have ridden.  Its always in top shape.   The owners do a fantastic job on it.   Everything there is rideable, meaning no gaps or anything crazy that is geared for pro riders.   All levels of riders can use this track and feel comfortable.   

 

Right now you only pay $10 for the yearly fee because season is ending.

Where is this track located? Never heard of it. I'm out in the far east end of gta. Not much to ride here besides illegal pits, the ganny and a couple tracks in the kawarthas. Not including any mmrs tracks

It's near Woodstock / Ayr area where the 401 and 403 meet up. It would be very far for anyone east of Toronto. It's an hour away from me here in Burlington. It's usually a toss up whether I go to Gopher Dunes or 15 Practice Track. Gopher is nice because they actually have some facilities, 15 practice track I think might have a port o potty.

[nickerkx]

yes 15 as no amenities, but yes a porta potty.

We bring our own food and BBQ and make a day of it.    I wish there were more tracks to choose from.

Does anyone know when practice 15 closes for the season? My buddy and i are in the Ancaster area and thinking riding out there, do you need insurance&plate to ride there? Sorry if this was already asked...

If any of you in Eastern Ontario plan to ride at X-Town or SRA (near Montreal) or,

MXPN in the Outaouais region, they've all announced on their respective Facebook pages 

that this Sunday is likely to be the last track day of the 2017 season.

I'm in Markham and we ride a lot in Port Hope. Its crown land and its unreal.

Off topic of where people ride in Ontario.... but would you guys recommend BONDI or RK engines for cylinder head porting and cutting valve seats? Both are within driving distance so any recommendations would help. Thanks

I thought we have a decent amount to choose from on the west side of Toronto, but they are somewhat spread apart.

The Pit

15 Practice Track

Gore Road MX

Moto 86

Swiona

Motopark

Gopher Dunes

Steel City Riders (members only)

And Northeast of Toronto there's Burnt River and Alpha MotoX

Plus RJ's Motosport that is only open on Wednesday and Saturday's I think.

Now single track is where we need more places!

I've always known Bondi to do top notch work. I had a KX125 replated and rebuilt by them and it was very very well done. I'd recommend them to anyone

[Clasen_Motors_KTM]

I live in Dundas Ontario and I am a happy life time member in the Steel City Riders club.We have our own race property with a variety of MX and trail tracks only 25 minutes away from my home.

Could not be better....

I live in Barrie. Mostly ride Simcoe County forests, tons of great single track. Ride the Ganny, Algonquin, Gooderham areas most years with the OFTR trail ride series.

Lots of awesome legal riding areas in Ontario, just need to get involved with the OFTR to find them.
