    Oxford MX Tomorrow

    A buddy of mine and I are going over to ride the MX track in Oxford tomorrow if anyone wants to join. He's been riding it for quite a while and loves it, will be my first time running MX ever and on the track - looking forward to it.

    Just thought I would throw it out there to anyone whose interested.

    Sounds good, I'll be there at 11 when they open. Silver WRX with a little red trailer - Orange 125sx (almost identical to Paul_EDs). My buddy will be riding a crf 250r.

    I have never ridden MX before - so I'll be holding people up more than you. Is a bit of a bummer to miss the Pats game - but I can't sit inside all day when I could be riding.

    I want to say $30.00 for the day but I'm not 100% positive, I know it isn't more than 30 though, might be $25.00

    Oxford MX Park = Steaming pile of poop

    The worst track I have ever been on. I would not ride there again if it was in my back yard.

    Most of is is off camber not enough dirt to form ruts, The berms are made of Baseball sized rocks.

    Any idea who owns, or who the track builder is?
    Do they allow quads?

    Ended up riding last minute at my house, 12.3 miles of single track and I'm whooped

    Ok doesnt sound that great. I guess I made the better choice to ride my bike and then watch football. How was the crowd there?

    Re: Oxford MX Tomorrow

    Two of the track builders were there.They were 20 something year old riders who built the track with their dad. Nice enough guys, but the track was bad. The 2 fastest sweepers were severely off camber. I thought I was going into the trees a few times. The worst uphill sweeper had a medium set of doubles at the top with a landing so steep that it was sketchy to land on. The best straight in the place, the only one where you had some traction, only had a waist high bump. Sure it was nice the Squirrel and I had something to hit wide open in 4th gear, but it was a missed opportunity. The were so many rocks that I wish they would have asked for volunteers to rake out the berms. I would rather rake for 5 min. then ride berms with more loose rock than Franklin. No flow at all. The icing on the cake was they over watered it right after they back bladed all the good dirt off. There's even more issues, but I'm tired of typing.
    I hope they screen some of the dirt and grade the track a little. I'll wait a year or more before going back.

    Re: Oxford MX Tomorrow

    is it possible that they are still working out some obstacles (no pun intended), being a new track?

    but after all this talk of epic crashes, oxford mx, and the settling of the dust to start the riding season, I just had to go for a spin on the dirty bike this weekend, but by 4pm it was too late to join any rides or go anyplace big, so I took a spin around the local mini track



    when I got there, I found it was pretty overgrown with grass and bushes, and covered in trash by the local kids

    and I would've been able to capture it all with pictures and video, but the battery on my camera was pretty low on charge, and I aimed it perfectly onto the handlebars and front fender

    Re: Oxford MX Tomorrow

    I had fun. Meeting people and seeing people I know was the best part. 4 wipeouts for me. I do not know enough about various tracks to make a educated opinion about its condition but since I do not know better I had a hell of a time. I guess ignorance is bliss.
