[fla 2-stroke]

I say all of the above.I am going this weekend for a couple of days.big scrub is still wide open.have not seen forestry at all the last few times out.I am going to the bills/jags game in jacksonville on sun nov 25,but would ride fri-sat.Dec 26-30 would be a great time for a big one.The weather will be great and I dont have to work until the 31st.

[SYKO]

Im bumpin this hoping we can do a new years ride for a weekend or so.. I know all the regulations are strick, but I still enjoy it down there

[oldsking86]

Problem is now you have to make reservations for sure, I mean everybody who wants to ride has to. If there ain't no room they will tell you simply to go home, no more parking under the wires by the camp ground. I'm on the "boycott'n" attitude with them bastards!

[SYKO]

well you can boycot all you want, there still isnt really any other choices to ride, I enjoy it down there, and I'll have a good time with the rangers since I dont have to register since im from Georg GA!!

[oldsking86]

yea I know it does suck because there ain't no where to ride. I did find a nice big area by my house I was going to go check out shortly. Crooms, idk I haven't been there in years and don't know if there regulations are any better. I always had a good time at the forest it's just now they are taking things WAY out of proportion

[fla 2-stroke]

there are 2 day parking lots by scrub.one by where the pavement ends by 19 and one 1 mile down the power line from big scrub campground.I hate the rules as much as the next guy,but this is still great riding.scrub is still wide open,you can go anyplace you want south of 40 and west of 19.still over 80,000 acres of unpoliced riding.forestry only bothers you by the staging areas,powerline and campground.the volunters are full of misinformation,If they try to ticket you call forestry.they will come and enforce only the rules in effect now.so until july you can still run paddles,ride double and dont have to worry about sound check.I ride almost weekend and wont let these undertrained idiots ruin my time.every time out I find new and better trails.I am camping dec26-31 and plan to have a great time.If anything the rules have kept the crowds down.Its nice having the whole place to yourself.stay off the main roads(573,gasline,588)and you can still tear the #roads way back in.It still is one of the best places to ride in fla.The end is near ,but I say get it why you can.

[SYKO]

well depending on my scedule around that time I may join you for a day or two then, our ranks seem to be thinning over here, with mike leaving and everyone else bumping out all the time.

[Billy Golightly]

Man, I dunno. I haven't ever been to Croom...but I heard they have hills. There arent any legal hills in the ONF anymore. I'd be a lot more interested in checking out a place with some elevation change.

[SYKO]

man the hills at croom are what 20ft high? whoopeee....... whatever croom is to far for me to pay for a whole year of riding there

[Mr. Clean]

You guys are better off going to ONF than Croom. Croom is so small compared to ONF and you would have to drive further. Curtis knows where to go.

[oldsking86]

yea croom is overrated not only that it is WAY packed full of people so yea you can't enjoy the riding much. If Curtis knows some spots that are AWAY from them darn rangers then we should be fine. I'd still have to register the bikes to get stickers

[fla 2-stroke]

I will be camping dec 27-31 at big scrub site #49 with a couple of buddies and patrick.still wide open for now.If any local riders want to come out I will be there about noon on thursday-early monday morning.

[oldsking86]

we were debating on going but I don't know about the rules and such, also I think I'm scheduled to work thursday through sat Yall have fun and Merry Xmas!

[SYKO]

I wanted to go, but my machines suck right now.

[SYKO]

Im bringing this ride thread back from the DEAD..... after all the horror stories about ocala and the new rules and the bad trails. Curtis changed that around with a positive repsonse.

Ive always liked ocala I still thinks it offers more in a way of riding then the places up here except maybe Durhamtown.

The Ga boys will only have to have some proof of ownership of their machines to ride, while the Fl boys know what they need

when We going again?

sometime in the spring? when are all the kids spring vacations? My daughter still talks about the BEAR! LOL!


now back from the dead one of the BIGGEST ride threads EVER!
