trailrider77 · July 31, 2012, 02:50:02 PM

So does anybody want to go riding on labor day weekend either that Sat or Sun Sept 1st or 2nd either croom or 5A or anywhere around the area?

little blue 300 · July 31, 2012, 08:25:07 PM

If you ever group ride at 5A, my wife and I will be there. Larry

where exactly is 5a trail

SMP63 · August 01, 2012, 06:58:56 AM

Exit 231 on I-95, Stuckway Road. About 10 miles north of Titusville.

lonewolfmlg · August 01, 2012, 08:09:58 PM

Hey guys - is 5A a legal place to ride? I see on a lot of these posts that mention riding there. I would be interested to going there just not looking to get into any trouble etc. I just came back from Durhamtown this past weekend, great riding area, just kinda far to go all the time. What is the terrian like at 5A? ie., all water, mud or is it like Ocala N/F all sand? Thank you for the info.

SMP63 · August 02, 2012, 07:21:13 AM

Lonewolfmlg-It's ok to ride there, all private property thats open to the public!!! It's a mixture of all of the riding conditions you mentioned. Last time I was there it was on the wet side but rideable, had a sport quad in our group!!!!

lonewolfmlg · August 02, 2012, 05:32:48 PM

SMP63 -

Thank you for the information. I would be interested in a group ride being my first time out there and not really knowing the area at all. Keep me mind when you guys go back out that way. I see your in Zephyrhills how long of a drive is it for you to get there? Thanks for the information. Michael

SMP63 · August 02, 2012, 08:38:04 PM

Your welcome Michael. Takes me about 2 hours to get there.

trailrider77 · August 11, 2012, 06:25:17 PM

Great ride today with smp63 thanks again steve so I was thinking for a labor day weekend ride how about Ocala

SMP63 · August 11, 2012, 08:20:31 PM

I had fun today Carlos!!!!! Glad you had a good time, it'll be allot better when the water level goes down some. Ocala sounds good to me but will depend on what day you wanna go.

strubby · August 12, 2012, 10:50:59 PM

I'm happy to lead the way for any new guys at 5A, I know it pretty well. And I ride a sport, so if you don't want to get wet, I'll show the way through, haha.

As for Labor Day, I would be interested in Ocala. I haven't been on any of the new trail systems, so a weekend with people who know them would be sweet.

Mingy · August 13, 2012, 07:06:58 PM

As far as Ocala on Labor Day weekend, I am in, barring disaster (sick Sheltie and sick Mother in Law right now, close to both, both not doing well). We could ride the Centennial trail and the Delancy loops, one PM, one AM, just tossing that out for starters.

My last ride of Summer was Centennial Trail with DALEM. 6 trees down that had to be chopped, so someone needs to bring a chainsaw or a bigger axe than we had!
Pretty damn dry and hot but fun.

trailrider77 · August 14, 2012, 08:23:16 AM

So it looks like Ocala might be the winner so now the question is what day sat or sunday any of those 2 day are good for me since ill be camping there the whole weekend.

dalem352 · August 14, 2012, 09:16:57 AM

i did centennial 2 weeks ago an it was stiil clear i am going this friday 8/17/12 if any one want to go let me know

trailrider77 · August 20, 2012, 11:07:21 AM

dalem352 · August 21, 2012, 08:57:02 PM

Ole Nasty · August 21, 2012, 09:58:54 PM

dalem352 · August 22, 2012, 06:53:08 AM

SMP63 · August 27, 2012, 04:47:38 PM

That sucks Carlos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mingy · August 30, 2012, 08:47:58 PM

I am still deciding where to go Saturday AM on Labor Day weekend, either Mud Muckers or 5-A or Ocala. Will be there early. All 1-2 hours away. Any commitments? Its been touch and go here this week but Saturday looks like the day.

little blue 300 · August 30, 2012, 08:56:01 PM

Come on down to 5A Jim! We'll see if we can get my new Grizzly 550 stuck in the mud. You're an expert at doing that! rolback1

Larry

Mingy · August 30, 2012, 09:50:28 PM

Just might do it. Will let you know before PM tomorrow. Who all is coming besides us?

strubby · August 30, 2012, 10:18:49 PM

I'm stuck in VA until further notice, otherwise I would come! Hoping to ride Ocala Monday if I'm home in time...

I don't know of anybody else that's coming except my wife. However, I join up with other riders just about every week and do small group rides. Most of the riders at 5A never heard of this forum.

Last Saturday one of our 300s was in the shop and my wife and I rode on the other 300. We saw a father and son unloading and noticed that they had Palm Beach County license plates on their truck. We started talking to them and ended up in a little three ATV group ride. We rode all day long and didn't leave till around 6PM. It was a small group but was a very fun day.

What about Mudbucket ? He usually comes down when you do. I like riding with you two cause you get here around 7AM before it gets too hot.

If you can't make it tomorrow, then we'll do it another day.

It would have been nice to have you join us on Saturday Kyle. One of these Saturdays we'll both make it out on the same day. :ThumbsUp.gif

Mingy · August 31, 2012, 07:10:39 PM

Larry:

I will be down tomorrow and will get there by 8:00 at latest; I'd prefer 7:00 but I cannot get everything (non-atv related) done tonight in time. Hope to hook up with you guys and want to ride unitl around 2:30 and leave by 3:00 PM, have a birthday party to go to Sat night, Westside Jax.

And no, I am not going into the power lines to get stuuuuuck BUT I would like to ride all the ridges if you can show me how to get there. I will post to this forum no later than 6:00 AM to confirm or cancel, but I do not think I will have to cancel!

little blue 300 · August 31, 2012, 07:43:23 PM

OK Jim,

I will check the computer in the morning before I leave. We can ride the ridges and the trails. We may be able to join up with other riders and have a group ride.

Larry

strubby · August 31, 2012, 09:50:51 PM

Larry, the set of ridges back by Rock Lake are clear and a fun ride if Mingy hasn't been that way yet. I checked that route last time I was out.

little blue 300 · September 01, 2012, 05:27:54 AM

OK, I'll make sure that we hit them. Thanks Kyle

Mingy · September 01, 2012, 05:34:17 AM

OK, I am up and functional, will be rolling out at 6. See you soon.

little blue 300 · September 01, 2012, 05:54:57 AM

OK Jim, We will keep checking the parking lot for you. Larry

little blue 300 · September 02, 2012, 09:46:02 AM

We had a good time yesterday Jim. Thanks for coming down.

20 minutes after you left I got my Grizzly 550 stuck. I went down a trail that I had only been down once before and I mistook a deep hole for the trail. I fell only half way in but the 4-wheel drive couldn't back me out. I walked out to the main trail and waited about 15 minutes till somebody came along and pulled me out. I guess I'll never go for long without needed a tow.

We're going out again on Monday but only taking the 550.

Larry & June

SMP63 · September 02, 2012, 06:46:44 PM

little blue 300 · September 02, 2012, 08:45:07 PM

This is getting to be a very expensive hobby!!!

I need a bigger vehicle to pull my trailer
I need a cell phone for when I get lost or stuck in the mud
and now
I need a camera to take pictures of my mistakes
