Places 2 Ride is a guide to places to go and things to do on a motorcycle. Our blog features motorcycling news, notable riding gear, opinionated rants and the occasional tech article. We also include notices for upcoming events and places to ride that have been added to our website.

This site was originally a promotion for a motocross track outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Beeline MX was built by Brad Mathison on south US-75 near Beggs and the original web page was nothing more than an aerial photo and directions. After about a dozen e-mails from other states we saw a need to list other nearby riding areas. That quickly grew to a statewide listing of Oklahoma tracks and ORV areas. It wasn't long before the list included other states and the name Places 2 Ride was coined.
In 1998, when
Places2ride.com began, the emphasis was on dirt riders and the motocross tracks, riding areas and trails that off-roaders thrive on. Eventually that grew to include twisties and scenic highways all over America, and even the world.

Beeline Motocross Park closed after a couple of years. Plenty of area motocrossers enjoyed riding there.
Brad and I keep riding the twisties and backroads looking for those great places to ride. We've even begun shooting video to add to the website.
> Our Favorite Oklahoma RidesAnd this site continues to help motorcycle riders find fun places to ride their bikes— no matter whether it's a motocrosser, sportbike or cruiser.
