Dirt Bike Track in Beijing

[xiaofei]

Dear friends,

As summer is approaching, I invested my hard earned cash in a JiaLing CQR250 and another health insurance. ;-)
So my question to all Beijingers - where is the right track? I have already been to the Goldenport Race Track, but the place is a bit too rocky for a thin-boned rider like me. I am looking for the sandy, soft soil with some (natural) kickers, hills, etc. Heard something about a place near 永定河, but that is a bit far from Beijing. What about the BMX track at LaoShan? Are dirt bikes allowed?
Many thanks for your help!

Hi
Congrats with the bike.
Google Earth: 40 02 46 16 N - 116 45 19 18 E East of the airport - here is a huge dry river bed.
Really nice place to ride some sand - always some dirtbike riders/4x4 in the weekends.
Maybe a place for a "Sunday MCM meeting"..... camping possible.

Wow, that's exactly, what I was looking for. Thank you so much, guys! :)
I guess I will see you there during the May holidays?! ;-)

hey guys, i'm moving to Beijing this summer for a 2yr work assignment. I have two boys that ride dirt bikes as well (65 and 85cc), is it easier for us to bring our bikes in our pod of stuff from the states, or just buy bikes locally? was wondering if i could find smaller bikes for my boys, or if most for sale locally in china were for adults. i appreciate any advice. thx!

Welcome to the forum.

You might want the start a new thread in the "Welcome to MCM" forum, and give a bit more detailed introduction to tell us exactly what you are looking for (in case replacement bikes are required). Furthermore people who might have more knowledge about this than me might miss your post in this thread.

How old/tall are they? Depending on the bikes they are riding now, I'm not sure if you could easily find suitable spare parts for those. We have some really cheap mini dirt bikes over here, but they are of questionable quality I think. There should be something that fits them.
