Three hundred or more riders will converge in Doyle this weekend as the Diamondback Hare Scrambles return to the Fort Sage OHV area. The event starts Saturday, the 22nd, and the Bureau of Land Management says, “For safety reasons, trail access will be available only to participants.” There will be several designated viewing areas if you plan to watch the races. You can also camp overnight at the Raptor Trailhead on the left of the main entrance road. The event is being sponsored by Cross Country Promotions LLC and American Motorcyclist Association under a special recreation permit from the BLM. The organizers will provide course marshals, and the BLM will provide law enforcement rangers and staff to monitor the event.
The Fort Sage OHV Area provides around 100 miles of roads and trails for all levels of motorcycle riders and for all-terrain vehicles and four-wheel-drive trucks. More information can be found by calling Marisa Williams at the BLM office in Susanville at 530-252-5303.
