Motorcycle Races Coming for Fort Sage Area This Weekend; Some Trail Access will be Limited

Up to 400 riders are expected to participate in a series of motorcycle races this Saturday and Sunday, November 13th and 14th, at the Fort Sage Off-Highway Vehicle Area near Doyle. Trail access will be available only to participants while the races are underway.

The pit area and start/finish line will be accessible only to participants and their support teams.

“We are pleased to provide this site for competitive dirt bike riders,” said Emily Ryan, manager of the Bureau of Land Management Eagle Lake Field Office in Susanville.

“We have developed a racecourse that will avoid vehicle impacts to areas burned in recent wildfires; the racecourse provides challenges for the riders and avoids areas where grasses and shrubs are coming back.

The Fort Sage event is organized by Division 36 of the American Motorcyclist Association and Cross-Country Promotions, which holds a special recreation permit from the BLM. The organizers will provide course marshals, and the BLM will provide law enforcement rangers and staff to help monitor the event.

The BLM manages the Fort Sage OHV Area in a way consistent with the Biden administration’s “America the Beautiful” initiative, which includes goals of providing invaluable opportunities for recreation, while maintaining healthy public lands.

For more information, telephone Marisa Williams at the BLM office in Susanville, 530-252-5303. More information about the Fort Sage Off-Highway Vehicle Area is available by visiting www.blm.gov/visit/fort-sage.
