DOYLE, California. – Up to 400 riders are expected to participate in a series of motorcycle races on Saturday and Sunday, November 13-14, in the Fort Sage Off-Highway Vehicle Area near Doyle. Access to the track will only be available to participants while the races are in progress. The pit area and the start / finish line are only accessible to participants and their support teams.

“We’re excited to make this site for competitive dirt bike riders,” said Emily Ryan, manager of the Bureau of Land Management at Eagle Lake Field Office in Susanville. “We developed a circuit that avoids vehicle impacts on areas that were burned in recent forest fires. The racetrack presents challenges for drivers and avoids areas where grasses and shrubs come back. ”

The Fort Sage event is organized by Division 36 of the American Motorcyclist Association and Cross-Country Promotions, which has special recreational permits from the BLM. The organizers will provide marshals and the BLM will provide rangers and staff to oversee the event.

BLM manages the Fort Sage OHV property in line with the Biden government’s America the Beautiful initiative, which aims to provide invaluable recreational opportunities while preserving healthy public land.
