THanks bro

[bananahands93]

I just went four wheelin there last weekend, it was pretty sweet but the trails seemed much more aggressive then the ones in this vid...We took the ORV trail, it wasnt until the end of the trip that we got to go fast

[80grady]

@bananahands93 Most of the vid is of surrounding roads. There's a section of ORV @ 3:50 and then again from 6:30 till the end is all ORV footage. On a bike, the ORV is pretty easy to carry speed the whole time.

[afhonda7]

Yes I called they are still open. Do dirt bikes and the offroad cars share the path? And are there alot of water puddles that you have to go through?

[afhonda7]

Thanks bro for the insight! I'm planning on going this weekend. It's worth 25 bucks! And I was having trouble figuring out how you register your bike. Do you just go to Greenridge and there is a place there that you can pay and get it registered??

[80grady]

@afhonda7 You can get a permit @ the ranger station. I'd call first to make sure it's still open. Just remember to stay on the ORV trail only.

@ericjurin

Where's the trail you are talking about?

How's greenridge for a crf250r? I race it. Is it hard to get lost on greenridge and how long does it take to go through all 18 miles?

[80grady]

@afhonda7 The whole 18 mile loop takes me about 40min depending on conditions, sometimes faster sometimes slower. Super easy trail and no chance of getting lost. Only part of the trail in the vid is of the loop, most of it is of surrounding dirt roads since my bike is plated. A 250 would be fine, really anything can make it around the loop, and no chance of getting lost. On a side note, the state is planning on closing the ORV loop permanently on April 23rd 2011.

@80grady So you are saying it's going to close April 23rd? that sucks because I just found it.

Are there other trails to ride on up there? I ride MX & ATV's also.

[80grady]

@blakdog250 Yup, The orv loop will be closed due to the Sustainable Forest Inititave. The ORV is the only legal area within the forest to ride non plated vehicles. There are plenty of fun unmaintained roads in the park, but you need to be a plated street legal vehicle to use them.

@afhonda7 Its all pretty fast trails and impossible to get lost if you stay on the designated trail. It all depends how fast you ride for how long it takes

[ericjurin]

I grew up in MD, and basically nothing is legal there to ride. I rode Greenridge a few times; its OK but short. I put together a full outlaw dual sport trail that I used to ride that is about 70 miles from start to finish, about 3/4 through the woods. Starts in Germantown and goes clear up to fredrick, Ijamsville then over to MT Airy and then down south and ends in Olney. Killer riding, fully outlaw and since your never on the same trail twice, you dont have to sweat hikers calling 5-0

[frogman1981]

I've got a plated DRZ400. I go up to Greenridge about once a month from Baltimore. I've only been on the loop but, I would ride with you guys. I'm going off the loop next time. :)

[80grady]

I'm in Baltimore too, and usually ride with the DAMN riders. We'll have to hook up sometime for a ride.

[frogman1981]

That sounds great. I just registered with DAMN riders (same screen name). See ya soon.

[AJslippery]

btw i seriously almost hit a black bear on the trail last time i went out like 3 week ago. it was just sitting right int he middle of the trail

[AJslippery]

cool video man.. i only recognize like 1% of the trail though.. i only ride the orv loop bc i have a 2stroke .. im pretty sure youre not allowed to ride on any of that stuff (esp thru the water..) but, looks liek a lot of fun.. and its not liek youd ever get in trouble anyway except maybe a little fine..

[80grady]

As long as you have a plated vehicle, everything in the video is legal. Even the water crossings are part of a road. The signs say "cross at your own risk"

[80grady]

These are all legal roads in the park. If you have a tagged bike, just go explore. There are tons of fun roads in the area. If you don't have a street legal bike, then you have to stay on the ORV loop.

[RticKwad]

Where are these trails at GreenRidge? We ride the loop and didn't ever see these ones. I was told there was some hidden roads and trails that connect or are you riding the mountain bike trails?

Thx,
