Motocross and Dirt Bike racing has a long history in San Diego and the surrounding North and East counties. After decades of hosting some of the worlds biggest races at Carlsbad Raceway and producing some of the world’s top riders in the hills around El Cajon the landscape for riders in sunny San Diego has changed. With the tracks in Carlsbad in El Cajon closed we are left with a lot less choices to ride. Fortunately for us there are still some gem’s out here.
Barona Oaks Raceway
Barona Raceway is San Diego’s premier Motocross track . A fun layout that is a little tighter than most of the MX tracks in SoCal makes for some great laps around the trees in the Barona Valley. Dayton and his crew have both the main and the kids track fully prepped every weekend. For more info on the track check out: www.barona-mx.com
Off Road and Enduro riding
East county San Diego has some amazing trail riding to offer. McCain Valley OHV just off the Interstate 8 near Boulevard has a great selection of trails and hill climbs available. This is a great spot for beginners, intermediates and pros with the amount of different loops to choose from. After a day of rain there are some great sand turn tracks available for our Motocross friends as well.
Corral Canyon OHV Area
Really fun scenic area to ride a dirt bike in. It is quite rocky and on weekends you will run into a lot of ATV’s and SXS there, so you need be careful and keep your eyes open. Nonetheless it’s a great area to get out on two wheels just 40 minutes east of downtown San Diego.
Sedlak Offroad School Private Enduro Trails
