So I've lived in Virginia for about a year now and it suck I've found nor trails at all grant it I live in portsmouth and its just one big city, but does anyone know of any trails within like a good three hour distance I'm willing to take a good weekend away from the city anyways.
I live in va as well. The only trails I know of is Gorge Washington national park and assiteague beach off Chincoteague island. That's about it. From what I understand the trails in the national forest have fees but their suppost to be pretty good
You need to come to the cove campground in Winchester VA. Awesome place for trails. Big Dogs offroad holds jeep events with sponsors every few months. Google it...
I live in Portsmouth too. I know some private land out in driver that my boy owns has about 2 miles running through out the woods and we plan on expanding it. And a mud/ dirt bike trail in the front. As far as camping off roading you have George Washington NF which is awesome. Hat field McCoy trails. Give me a shout if you trying to go out some time....
Im in DC but ive been out to GWNF about 3 times now...pretty good trails...strictly trail riding though
i would like to find some more terrain, hopefully some sand or mudding, reeeally wanna try some mudding
real busy in upcoming weeks but if anybody wants to go maybe this friday the 2nd i would be down...im on a stock rig but wanna find new trails outside GWNF (although it is pretty solid)
let me know
not that im aware of-- frankly ive never even had to present my permit; i would recommend bleeding your tires a bit cause the trail is real rocky (small rocks...bumpy ride) theres a lot of stations within 10 miles of the entrances where you can fill up afterwards
if we dont end up arranging something for the campgrounds (and you want some another rider) id be interested in coming out to meet you guys friday
Ill be getting there around or after 11 pm friday. I live a ways away. And we're gunna wake up around 7-8 am (sleepin in parking lot) to go on the easy trails. Deflate tires to 15 psi right??
And yep we're still going for sure. Would you like to meet us out there around 730 or 8 am saturday?
not sure on how low to deflate but 15 sounds solid--my bleeder sucks and just getting it down to 22 takes forever; i can probably come out saturday, i dont think i can get out there that early though, probably noon at earliest, how long are you guys be riding?
also, there are a few camp grounds in GWNF, and depending on where you enter the trails there are some big lots a half mile in where you can post up, set up a fire and what not
Hey lucky, we could meet you out there by 8...it'd be tough to get out there much earlier as I'll be coming in from DC. Want to meet at one of the stations off 81 to bleed the tires and gas up? :thumb:

Hey we could probably meet you at 8. But we should meet at the trail entrance and bleed the tires then. We'll be camping so I guess we will see ya in the morning maybe! Just curious, how many people would be coming in your group and how old are ya? I don't know how long after 8 we could wait cause we gotta get back around 1.. but this could work :thumb:

there are actual campgrounds to the side of the road that runs through the GWNF where they have fire pits and whatnot, but, if you enter at peters mill run and go half a mile in there are 2 lots where people camp out and make their out fire pits etc...one of them already has a pit
We'll get down there as quickly as we can and plan to be there by 8. It will just be me, my girlfriend and the Rubi. I'm 34 (but my gf swears I don't act it). How many will be in your group?
If you could fwd your cell that would be helpful...mine is 757.503.3592.
For the more serious crawler, check out Crozet 4x4 park. The land is owned by a wheeler. $25 day fee. I went a few years ago and it's a blast! There are plenty of YouTube videos on it.
ilevine, there are some 'easier' trails there. I'd look around on the internet to see what others have gone and done there. I wouldn't want to set you up for failure.
sounds great...keep me in the loop the next time there is a group going.
thanks,
Robert Read
