Anybody going to Hopedale sportsman club in Hopedale Ohio. Its close to Cadiz. I go at least once every year. Usually 3 or 4 rides a year. This weekends ride is the only one they have scheduled due to pipeline construction schedule conflicts. Might be the only one this year. P.S. they have real good food, camping is free.

WOW talk about blast from the past. I haven't been there since college. I went to school in Pittsburgh, and two of my classmates lived in Cadiz, so we rode that area all the time. I went on a ride called Rumble on the Ridge, back in 05' or 06' maybe, can't remember for sure.

Rumble on the ridge is gone. I hear they built houses on that property. Hopedale and Renegade Ridge are the only 2 I know of in that area now.

Would be nice if there were more places in Ohio. I don't think Wayne is 50 inch+ friendly yet.

Sure would be nice if Wayne stepped it up. Hopedale was a parking lot this weekend. Sport quads stuck everywhere. Took me 3 1/2 hours just to ride the first half. Fight in the campground, trucks and trailers stuck in campground. Real zoo this year.

Perry State Forest is 62" now. I bet Wayne isn't too far behind.

Perry websight still says 50". Do you like riding there? Challenging?

 

[DogRunner2]

Perry Trail maintenance crew posted the law change on FB last September. I rode there once before it closed for the winter and it's definitely challenging. I'm looking forward to this spring. It opens back up April 2. The web site lists 20+ miles of trails but there is supposedly triple that.

 

[LeadSled01]

Awesome. Is there camping at the trailhead? Or somewhere close?

HERE is the link to their website. It shows 62" under the APV Rules tab. You can also download their trail map HERE

It says camping is not allowed at the trail head, but there are hotels in the area, and camping at the parks 25-30 mins away.

Thanks ftman

Thanks ftman

No Prob. HERE is a good short article, mentions all 4 state forests with APV trails, and the 62" regulation.

 

[FordTruckMan]

Wayne is still at 50" according tot heir website HERE, but I just emailed them to ask if they have any plans in the future to expand the width restriction. Since this is the Federal Government we are dealing with there, I won't hold my breath.

 

[DogRunner2]

There was a new campground going in right by the trailhead last fall.

Hopefully Wayne National gets with it!
