ADV Day-Eval and Ride was a blast! After hitting the trails and practicing some braking drills, a few of us rode down to the beach and played in the sand 🏖️☀️🏝️ The meetup ended with some awesome Chicago Dogs and Italian Beef sandwiches. Thank you all who came out to have some SERIOUS FUN!

The class was an even split between Adventure Bikes and Dual Sport motorcycles. Riders received a swag bag from Law Tigers Chicagoland, along with some Backcountry Discovery Routes stickers. Aiming to host the next ADV Day on Sept 5th at 8am. Follow our page for updates!

Adventure Bike weekend at Rocky Glen OHV! These riders wanted to learn how to pick up their motorcycles after a tip over, so we did just that. Use the right technique to pick up your motorcycle before tackling rough terrain.

Wet weight of the BMW 1200 GS is around 570 pounds and the Kawasaki KLR 650 is around 430 pounds. Loaded up with your extra gear for your moto trip can make it heavier to lift. It can also get in the way of where you can grip the motorcycle for picking it up.

This week’s schedule is here! 🔥

Wednesday | Kids Night | 4:30–7:30 PM
Build confidence, learn the fundamentals, improve bike skills, and have a blast in a safe, fun environment. Perfect for helping young riders develop the right habits from the start.

Saturday | Group Training | 10:00 AM–2:00 PM
Four hours of structured coaching with two coaches. We’ll break down every part of riding. Drills, techniques, section work, feedback, and motos to help you ride faster with more confidence and consistency.

Good luck to all of our Euphoria MX riders competing at Loretta Lynn’s this week! We’re proud to have so many riders representing us at the Ranch, many of them started with us in the ruts when they were 50cc beginner riders and now living the dream! Go make some memories! 👊

We are unable to make it down to the ranch this year with 2 kids under 2 but I’ve been spending a ton of time with the family on my days off which has been amazing! The next few days will be focused on making more track improvements and continuing to reinvest into the facility so every rider has the best possible place to train.

Reserve your spot by calling or texting 262-949-9820. See you at the track!
