Platte Valley Dirt Riders

Platte Valley Dirt Riders is a nonprofit motocross club just south of Mitchell, Nebraska, out in the panhandle near Scottsbluff in the far western part of the state. You will find the grounds south of town on Highway 29, on the east side of the road. For riders in this corner of Nebraska, plus nearby parts of Wyoming and Colorado, it is one of the few organized dirt spots within a reasonable tow.

The club keeps it welcoming for the whole family. There is a main track plus a separate pee-wee track for the younger kids, so beginners have a place scaled to them while the faster riders work the main loop. The grounds are open year-round to dirt bikes and ATVs, which is rare and handy in a region where riding options are spread thin. On the racing side, the club puts on a couple of events a year tied into the Tri-State Dirt Riders circuit, drawing riders from across the three-state corner.

As a nonprofit run by its members, Platte Valley Dirt Riders depends on the people who show up, and the schedule and fees move with the season and the club's calendar. The right move is to confirm current details before you make the drive rather than relying on old postings. Check the Platte Valley Dirt Riders site and social pages for the latest race dates, fees, and open-riding info, and verify the grounds are ready the day you plan to ride. Being open year-round to both dirt bikes and ATVs is unusual and handy in a region where the nearest alternative can be a long haul away.
