Super Secret Area in the Middle of Akron, Ohio ( not really secret but it is hidden)
This is an undeveloped area in the idustrial area of Akron. I met up with several riders on a break and they told me that there is about 100 acres. Police will run you out during the week using Quads. On Sunday it is relatively un-patrolled, especially in the winter. It was about 35 degrees and after a full day of rain I expected and found pretty wet conditions. There were really muddy areas and some areas on the higher spots were dry. There was a cool stream crossing ( 8 inches deep and 40 feet wide). I didn't ride hard because there were others out there on quads and MX bikes and I did not know the trails The puddles looked really bad but most were really shallow and only 5-8in deep. I splashed quite a few... :lol:
Here are the pictures...
