Hello all..

I’m a 56 yr old, complete ATV newbie..Nice finding this forum.

I’ve just recently purchased a ’16 850 SP and trying to get more familiar with the community and riding in general. I bought it without EVER riding one or a demo for that matter..The closest I’ve gotten to off-roading is driving an old JD Gator around and some motorcross as a kid..Besides those experiences, I’ve always loved the outdoors, things that go fast with engines, ( I’ve had a Boxster S and currently have a ’15 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack), and anything that allows me to explore the great outdoors..I’ve had mixed emotions with this purchase, not the choice of brand, but whether I was going to be able to find places to ride and not have this thing sit in my garage..I live on 50 acres of rugged property and can ride it there, but as you all know, 50 acres gets used up pretty quickly..I’m looking forward to meeting other riders and finding places to ride..So with that said, what is the best way to start finding areas near me to ride?..Is there a web site or forum that could help me with that?..Thanks and nice to be here!
