Central IL around the mattoon/charleston area.

The badlands in attica, IN are less than 2 hours from me along with a few other larger trail spots.

I'll be checking out everything you guys have mentioned so far. Thanks so much everyone for all the help!

I'm a frequent Badlands rider if you don't mind riding with a Yamaha. Very diverse riding types there, always fun.

Howdy and welcome to the forum J Kidder. I hope JCP see's your post
I'd tell him to get a winch before he goes with you, so he can pull that Yamaha out when it get's stuck.
Just kidding. Hope you 2 can plan a ride soon. c'mon out to SW Missouri, Arkansas or plan a trip to Disney Ok. We'll meet you and go

I haven't been to the badlands in over 10 years but looking forward to go at least one time this summer once work slows back down!

Thanks for the welcome & invite, always interested in hearing about new places to ride. Just back from first ever trip to Hatfield McCoys last month, will be looking to go back for sure!

Give a shout if you decide to come this way, ride there alot

We have several forum members that go to Hatfield McCoys. sounds like a fun place. I wish I could come up with their names. I love going out east, I'm still new to the side by side thing, but have been going east to whitewater kayak since 1997. Disney Ok. is the only place I've gone to so far, and only twice now. plenty of videos on youtube about it
even one of me rolling on my side on my last trip a few weeks ago. called "todd flips at disney"

We ride west of Mattoon/west of Shelbyville, just off Rt16. Just sayin'...
