Miles Mountain MX

Miles Mountain MX sits near Elkland in northern Pennsylvania. The directory riderplanet-usa lists the property at roughly 800 acres with a main track about 1.5 miles long, a floodlit supercross course and a freestyle area with ramps, plus around 6.5 miles of woods trails and about 375 feet of elevation change. There are several sets of bleachers for spectators, room to park and camp, and more than a mile of river frontage belongs to the grounds, stocked with trout every year. The riding fee given there is 30 US dollars per rider, no permit is required, and major credit cards are taken at the gate. Quads are allowed only at certain times, side-by-sides not at all. The same listing names several races and hare scrambles, among them the annual North and South Shootout over Labor Day weekend with around 1,000 riders. A lap that long with that much elevation rides differently from a flat facility: you brake downhill over and over, you carry throttle uphill, and your forearms go hard after a few laps. On top of that, the source names no fixed practice days but seasonally changing dates - check that riding is actually happening before you set off, instead of driving out on spec.
