    Need Track/trail Help

    I am going dirtbiking this Tuesday. I was supposed to go to MotoPark, but i am now bringing my girlfriend and she has never ridden before. I plan to teach her the basics while trail riding, but i would also like to hit the track whenever she gets tired. So i am wondering if MotoPark is good for both uses. I never actually went on the trails when i went to MotoPark so i am not sure what they are like. Are there any other places around where i can bring her, but also ride on the track?
    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    motopark is great place, track is safe, lots of trails
    I used to trailer there every Saturday till gas at the pump gone over $1 per liter
    you can rent there small bike to teach her
    why you want her to ride a bike, what wrong with safe hobbies like gardening, home decorating, floor swiping?
    have a good time

    Ross, those are two tracks that are not very beginner friendly... Burnt River is litterd in rock and Gopher is a sand track and quite difficult.

    MotoPark is quite smooth and very flowing. All jumps can be crawled over as most of them are table tops.

    They have trails, and a smaller track as well.

    Why not take her to the Simcoe Country Forest or an open farm feild...?

    yeah, I second what 23 said. Even the Burnt River trails are full of rocks...all I hear going through there is the sound of fist sized rocks slamming against my engine cases (no skidplate)
