I grew up right down the road from this place. yes you can wheel back there but it is private land. a few people have been busted for going back there. all i have to say is watch out guys. I am assuming the resturant you guys are talking about is little johns. so i would keep most of this to PM's. sorry to be a jackass but i dont want our club getting a bad name.

thats where I was trying to go as well, and be nice about it. All it takes is one person telling someone else or someone seeing it on here and then BAM its closed to everyone

Maybe do some research first 03KJ. Stop by the retirement home and talk to an Admin about who owns the trails and see if they don't mind you using them.

If they say yea, pass a hat when everyone gets there and give the money to the home for letting you use the trails as a 'thank you' to them.

Man, I was just up that way today (in Schaumburg) for a meeting!

Sounds like a good idea. Let's find out who owns that back there.

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jul 03, 2008 8:44 am

Think thats a good idea for you all, find out who owns it, offer to do some clean up or something while you are back there playing and maybe you will end up with a nice play area for LOSTKJERS! I hope I didnt make it sound like you should not go, just from experience I know what can happen when "the word gets out " about a great place to wheel, everyone is there and next thing you know a chain is across the entrance.

Plus didn't want to have to drive out to bail all your butts out of jail! :lol:

im headed that was friday so ill stop in and ask about that and maybe doing some community work maybe. while i was going threw the trails the other day i did notice it was pretty dirty back there.

ihatemybike · **Posted:** Thu Jul 03, 2008 10:42 am

I'd be willing to head back there with a garage bag or two.

Logan · **Posted:** Thu Jul 03, 2008 4:08 pm

i might to be able to go, the parents still don't like/get the idea of wheeling :roll:

but ill try to convince them. i think i know where your talking about, the restaurant is right by the jeep/Chrysler dealer correct?

03kjsport · **Posted:** Thu Jul 03, 2008 4:38 pm

affirmative!

Logan · **Posted:** Thu Jul 03, 2008 4:49 pm

i will try to convince the parents and tell them were doing some community service in some woods near a retirement home and i may get a little dirty! :lol:

Any news Brad?

Thnx for taking the initiative to go talk to them. We still have hope, they haven't said no yet

Keep your fingers crossed.

Yes just try to make an argeement with ryland that we will come like every other weekend and do a clean up of the area pull dead trees into a pile and other little odd jobs to keep the area nice. If we can ride the trails and keep them nice and groomed maybe even lock the entrance and have somone from our club with the key and we can have planed clean up/wheelings.?

What do ya think?

I think it's a good idea. I will bring these ideas up when I talk to someone. I hope I can get some resolution early this week.

Kill em with kindness people seem to like that, and maybe if they don't want us using this area they may have undeveloped land that isn't scheduled to build on for a long time that they may let us wheel on. :lol:
