If you're like the staff here at GHR, you've been working on your bike the last few weeks to get everything ready for that first ride. Well, it's here! With the snow gone and a solid week of (almost) dry, sunny weather, the local tracks are coming out of hibernation.

*Creekside Motocross, located in West Newton, has planned to open Friday March 19. With a whole new layout and a brand new pit/parking set up, this looks to be a great kickoff for the folks at Creekside.

*Another great track, Plum Creek, is set to open Saturday March 20. Weather permitting, there's an open ride from 11am to 4pm. If you want to make sure to be the first on the track, they always offer free camping!

*High Voltage MX Park will also open Saturday from 11am to 3pm. They're under new ownership this year so keep an eye out for some fresh changes! All members for the 2010 season will be entered in a drawing for some free Answer Alpha Gear courtesy of Crossroads Motosports. Also avaliable this year is an online waiver form-fill it out ahead of time to save time at the gate.

We'll keep you updated as other tracks open for the season. Be sure to browse over to our links page for connections to all the best spots. See you at the track!
