Dirt Bike riding in the Bay Area

It’s Sunday morning, the sun is out and your looking for something to do with the kids.  Well look no further than the City of Tracy which is home to the Carnegie SVRA(State Vehicle Riding Area).  This dirtbike and ATV riding area is about an hour from most of the bay area and is over 1500 acres of varying terrain for the offroad enthusiast. 

There are motocross tracks and ovals for the kids, hill climbs for the more advanced riders, motocross tracks for adults and everything in between.  The park is open year around and is reasonably priced at $5/car or $50 for an annual pass.

If you have a green sticker registration you can ride year round.  The red sticker season for Carnegie is October 1 thru April 30.  The park has an overnight campground, daily picnic areas and a small accessory shop.  Coming from the Concord/Walnut Creek area, take Highway 580 east past Livermore and get off at Coral Hollow Road and go right.  The park entrance will be a couple miles down on the left hand side.  Have Fun.
