Title: Florida Riders Sound off here!!!
Post by: SpeedQuest on May 20, 2008, 07:14:28 PM
Let's use this thread to discuss what's upcoming in the Sunshine State for rides, rallies, bogs, mud fests, and anything else where we can meet up and have some fun!

I am located in Orlando and know of several LEGAL and ILLEGAL ride areas.  Hit me up and we can go from there.

Okay fellow riders this weekend is the NEW TRAIL @ Big Scrub ride.  The information I have says the NEW Centennial Trail is open.  It's 45 miles long and should be a blast.

Here are links to the information I have received so far:

General information:

New Trail information:

New Trail Map:

http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/florida/recreation/documents/Ocala_adv_trl_handout_000.pdf

We will be arriving at the Big Scrub Campground sometime late Thursday.  We will be staying until sometime Sunday afternoon.  Anyone that wants to join us should just look for our new RV, it's a Beige colored Fleetwood Excursion and will likely have a 16'-18' trailer attached to it.  We will have our Raptors, Outlander and Yamaha 450 bike with us.  Verizon cell phone coverage is VERY limited in the Forest, so you may or may not be able to reach us.  I know some of you cannot come (Andy & Thom), but I hope to hear from you all prior and certainly look forward to seeing as many of you as possible!

Not sure whether we will hit Delancy Trails or Big Scrub.  If anyone has any other suggestions, I am open to those as well.

PM me to get added on to our Florida Raptor/ATV rider e-mail list.

Weather was excellent, ride was hard and fast at times, just the way we like it.  Not having your sticker is fine as long as you have a photocopy of your registration.

That was probably our last ONF ride for '08.  Got too much other stuff going on for the holidays.  We may be hitting the MX tracks in the area though.  SpeedWorld on Friday nights is pretty cool if you're not afraid to get airborne!

I'm trying to get something together this weekend but it's all down to the weather and I may be stuck in Orlando anyways cause I got relatives coming down, and of course it's on the one perfect weekend that I get saddled with that crap.
