What: RODMAN DAM TRAIL RIDE IV
When: Saturday January 22, 2005
Where: Rodman Dam
Meeting Time: 8:00am
Group Pictures: 9:00am in the pit
Estimated Distance to the 88 Store VIA Eureka Dam: 35 miles
Estimated Distance back to Rodman Dam: 30 miles
i know its early but back by popular demand, its Rodman Dam Trail Ride IV.
make your reservations early at elete campground. there will be several groups of riders with something for everyone. we will have the usual racing in the pit and a trail ride to the 88 store after the group pics. lets have fewer pizza's this time guys so our stop at the 88 store wont be as long. somebody please come up with a pair of radios. i'd like to propose taking the route that carries us to eurika dam and the ocklawaha river then on to the 88 store. we'll take our first break in the sand pit at eureka dam. anyone wanting to race or hit some jumps can have at it there. grizz, start the count list. i'm in!
jeff
Well for a change I can make this ride. Will have my son and maybe my daughter, see everyone at Elite.
I'm good for this one.
Jeff, Why don't you call Mike at the 88 store a week or so before and maybe he can get siome BBQ or something brought in.
QuoteI'm good for this one.

That would be a great idea....since they cook a pizza every half hour or so...time saved ;D

if i had time i'd ask him if we could rent the place and just cook it ourselves. i will make a call anyway. notice i added a stop at that pit we didnt stop at on trail ride I.
jeff
mike,
whats the chance of having all the moderators and mr. bones show up for this ride? it would give everyone a chance to meet bones and say thanks.
jeff
I'm sure John and Corey can make it. I'll check with Bones and see if he can also.
Sounds good to me! ;D I'm in.
Its the start of snow bird season, so any of U wants to stay at Elite make your reservation now or there will be no cabins.

I doubt I'll stay at Elite most likely I'll camp since the weather should be real nice. Maybe some others would like to camp as well. We should all try to camp together maybe at Salt Springs or Delancy??
Our proposed trip
you can count my crew in, dreth, dreths wife, pops, maw, and little man. less time at the store would be good so when we get back to the pit at rodman we can play if feel like it or have more time to hang out at the cabins ;D. all about the trails!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah...
I'm in!
QuoteOur proposed trip
thats our route. you didnt put in some wrong turns.
grizz, do you have to print those maps out first and then scan them?
jeff
i may do a scout ride on january 15th to check out the trails. theres very little open areas on this route and a lot of potential for downed trees. most should be cleared out by then.
jeff
Quotethats our route. you didnt put in some wrong turns.
grizz, do you have to print those maps out first and then scan them?
jeff
Yes I have to print first and then scan, renamed, and then resized
I'M THERE MAN!!!! ;D

i think we will break 100 bikes this time ;D. we will need to get some straight lines for the pictures this time ;D
Someone should take a pic of one of these events and send it in to an ATV magazine. This type of thing has the potential to turn into a huge sponsored event.

this is just the tip of the iceberg. we will get a little more structure for the group pics, more defined rows. i was thinking for the last one to line up end to end in a staight line across the pit.

don't worry Scooter. I'll be there if able. all depends on the racing situation (FTR) but I think we are off from12/5 to 2/13 or something like that so I should be able to make it.
Quoteman it sucks you cant be there now we wont have anyone to ride with sunday :-[
That does sux, but looks like we'll have to make our way through the trails. hope you remember them Scooter. if not well looks like we'll have to figure it out
Finally one that is planned far enough in advance that I can hopefully see if I can get the time off!!!!!!!!!!! I will check on thursday when I go into work and see if the time is available everyone keep their fingers crossed!!!!!!!!! ;)
I am going to plan on camping out the whole weekend and riding Friday morning till Sunday afternoon so don't worry Scooter you'll have someone to ride with. I should have atleast one other rider with me for this one. Maybe Ida wants another camp out at his place?!?! ;) lol

Here is a better map

I actooly have a working mower this time,,,,so I could really mow instead of relying on everyone walking around to lay down the grass ;-)
and now that I know that the outside plug works,,,,I have two plugs available for power outside.
come one, come all to the second semi-annual Id@ C@mp !!!

hey Wassup guys well im not new to this sport but new to rod man....never herd of it but sounds like a really cool thing to do. umm i actually have a few questions. one what kind of riding is it??? is it all mud because i have a 450r a banshee and a built blaster going up with me and we cant not take on any mud...and 2 can some body PM me or just tell me here what is the complete address where i need to meet up with you guys. im in miami so directions from my area would be really help full. and 3 do i have to pitch in on money like for food drinks etc..... thanks again fellas.
Grizz, add my son BlasterBoy_200,and myself to the list also. I might have some friends coming with us as well Possibly 3 more bike. And I am calling right now on a cabin for the weekend. Man I can't wait till this one Its going to by kinda hard to top Rodman's 3 ride Because that was a great day and ride. Just making sure of the dates everyone is going to be there Fri Jan 21st and the Sat the 22nd in 2005! ;D Oh yea what cabin sites is everyone going to get, so I know which number to request as far as a site. I know not to get 14 due to the sofa. Info from Apk400
I only got my 1 bike comin with me.
I just joined this board and saw that you will be going to Ocala in Jan. I have a couple guys and gals that might want to join up with you guys for a different change of scenary. Is there anything special that we need to know or be equiped with? This elite campground, I read that they accept pets and are not the expensive. Will people be staying here? Is it a good place? Any other info. that you could tell me. We love to get dirty and have a good time. What are the ages of all you guys?
Quotethis is just the tip of the iceberg. we will get a little more structure for the group pics, more defined rows. i was thinking for the last one to line up end to end in a staight line across the pit.
jeff
ooh i can put together more panoramics!
the trail ride can be muddy/water to dust,,,,check out the pics at
http://www.narisk.com/rodmaniii/ride3.html
the mud/water can be avoided, and I'm sure there will be a group that will.
as far as ages,,,again, check the pics anywhere from 4 years old to upper 70's like Jeff ;-)

LOL!
brutal!
Update I just resvered cabin number 34 for the 21st and 22nd of Jan. I am ready for another ride. ;D Homey anit playing this time, I will be prepared.
I just left Elite, The rates for cabins with smoking and pets are about $80 per night for 2 adults. If we want group rates we must reserve and pay for cabins 5 at a time. It will save about 20%. Trouble is, many of the cabins are already rented that weekend. The good news is they tpa a keg and have free beer on Saturday night at the rec center.
GrizzlyBear
Wish I would have know that B4 paying just now, I could have saved 20% off the cost of the cabin.
I just called and was told they have plenty of cottages left?????
As far as solving the communication problem we had last ride: I have never had a lot of confidence in those small 2-way radios, but Walmart has a set up for $59.99 that says 10 mile range. That range would be in perfect weather over the ocean. I would think they would at least get several miles in the forest. That way we could all be on the same channel. CB or Marine radios would probably be best, but may be too expensive.
we have a set of Cobra that worked GREAT in the mountains! will be bringing them if ya want !
Work all over the theme parks and cheer competitions to

I'd be curious about testing that claim.
last I knew, citizen's band radios and anything else was limited to 5 watts of power,,,,,over clear ground that limited range to approximately 5 miles.
thats not including the HAM radios and commercial application radios.
Id@
I just became apart of this board and it is great so far. I have called the elite campground and they have told me that there about 15 total cottages left 8 of which are standard. If you have a dog you will need to have a standard room. They also informed me that you can get a 25% discount for a booking of 5 or more cottages at a time. I asked if we can book seperately and then combine our group once there and she said NO. I think,Terry, had just completed reserving the room so he will not be able to get the bargain. If there is anyone else that is going to book a room, please call or email me so we can use the discount. I think I will have 3 cottages between guys here in Tally. njarrett@comcast.net or my cell 850-445-7281. This should be a great time.
Nick
25% discount? when i was there last time, they said you would get a $5 per night discount. To me, it wasn't worth the risk to book other peoples rooms in case they don't show up.
Each person has to book their rooms individually, but to get the discount you must call as a group. Doesn't make since to me either. I was hoping that we could book under a group name and each person call and reference the group name. They still might, we just might have to sweet talk them.
I'll try to make a stop by their office this weekend and have a chat with them.
this will be the 4th group ride where people from this site have rented from them and brought a ton of business to them and the surrounding businesses,,,,,I don't see why they won't make an exception and let people book seperately.
Id@
ps: maybe the words would be better heard if it came from a "local"
Me, my mom and my stepdad are thinking of staying in a cabin there for the 21st and 22nd.
I *may* do a cabin this time, but i really am thinking about staying at delancey and riding the quad up in the AM to meet ya'll :D
Grizz, put me, Lisa and Chris down for cabin 12. Hey Scooter and Steve, count me in for a half day Sunday ride. And Scooter, check on Nightbreed for me every now and again to make sure he is working on the most important ride in the garage...mine!!!!!!! ;D

QuoteHey Scooter and Steve, count me in for a half day Sunday ride. And Scooter, check on Nightbreed for me every now and again to make sure he is working on the most important ride in the garage...mine!!!!!!! ;D
Sounds good to me! I am going to try and get down early Friday morning and make a full weekend of it. I should have a GPS by then aswell. ;D Hey now don't forget mines there too bud! lol
Steve, We're gonna come up Friday also...usually get there around lunch time. As this gets closer, we'll hook up to get a ride in Friday. Can't wait to run the two newest ATP'd quads!
Sweet that sounds good. I found some pretty nice trails between Rodman and Lake Delancy last time that I'd like to ride again. They're deffinately going to be 2 mean quads..I can't wait. We'll make better plans as it get's closer ;)

Guys you still can't beat my quad since i had the very first ATP'd quad ;D
PS: Im gonna havea new lid too guys, thanks to Gregg YET AGAIN!
Maybe not beat it but dang sure outrun it! lol Just pickin' on ya Curtis. Sweet I bought the GF's son and myself new lids last week. Had to get a new one to go with the new quad you know. Plus my old one had taken a few good hits so I figured I better replace it.

Cool thanks for help buddy that's pretty cheap for a gps I thought they were allot more I think I might just buy one today and play with it a little.....oh by the way who likes beef jerky ???????? I actually make my own beef jerky im taking about 3 pounds of jerky 1 pound of sweet baby ray 1 pound of bbq sauce and 1 pound of honey bbq. And I honestly think my jerky is better then any jerky in the stores. home made stuff is allways better
Looks like my wife, me , our dog, and at least 4 friends will be joining the group.
Add on at least 4 more quads to the list. Could be 6...
Also, is there anyone that got a cottage that would be willing to switch to a lakeview to accomodate one of our 4 legged friends? All the standards are out and they are the ones that accept dogs.
Shoot me an email if you would be willing to switch.
Thanks

id@, your hitting below the belt.

comeon Jeff, we all know your'e only 40ish
Id@
This ride keeps getting bigger and bigger everyday. And it is only November, can you image by Jan. how big it will be. I just can't believe all the people who have cabins already. Me and Flblaster are thinking of taking that Friday off and going to do a little riding. We live 45 minutes away so we will not be renting a cabin. Then we would just be back Saturday morning to meet up with the group.
well have to line up all the atp built quads theres a bunch of them see whitch one mike did the best work on =)
Quotewell have to line up all the atp built quads theres a bunch of them see whitch one mike did the best work on =)

Id@
I'll be in cabin 32, and I'm bringing my gps, chainsaw, and what ever else I think we'll need. This should turn into a ride to remember for sure.
If the last one wasn't a ride to remember this one sure will be. So many people are responding saying count them in. And so many already have cabins.
damn i just got off the phone with elite all the standerd cabins are out they only have 4 lake side left :o :o the lady said $203.00 for 3 adults >:( >:( i think im going to sleep on my quad. does any body know of another place where we can sleep at????? I am not going to spend 203 dollars on a cabin.
$203???
Lakeside cabins are 85 a night..
i swear the lady told me i wanted the cheapest they got she said we only got lake side left and i said well give me the cheapest she said 203 and i told her i will call you back.
Quotei swear the lady told me i wanted the cheapest they got she said we only got lake side left and i said well give me the cheapest she said 203 and i told her i will call you back.
I just called this afternoon and checked on a cabin, They told me it was $85 a night for 2 adults and $10 per extra adult. I need to pay some bills tonigtht and check my funds. Hey Scooter, it might be a head up on Sat morning and come back sat night this time :-/ :'(.
i just reserved mine this morning for 2 nights and it came to
$181 with tax..
I can't believe this got to 11 pages before I saw it ::)
There is a long break from FTR so we are in. Add Nightbreed and Mrs. Nightbreed to the list.
If I reserve a cabin now does my card get charged now or when we check out?
Melissa, They charge your card right away.

someone better call dirt wheels, at this rate we will break 200 8) ;D
Hey everybody It's BlaterBoy_200. I hope this ride is going to be a lot better than the last one and the utility bike's don't take off through the puddles. Then leave us sport bikes. But that was cool how we cought up to them and got in the line. If there really is going to be almost 85 people there we are deffinently going to send a picture to dirt wheels.This will be the biggest ride ever.Jan. that's kind of far from now because I can't wait that long. Be back next week until then out.

cabin 37
Missed 37 we have both 37 & 38
Sorry missed you post
looking at the map it looks like 13 cottages so far rented at Elite.
I can't see why they wouldn't make a special discount for a group that is spending over $1100 a night so far to stay at their place.
I'm definately gonna talk with them.
Id@
Ida, i asked them about that when i called this afternoon and she said that we would have to call with everyones info at one time,, that is the only way they would do it... and it would be for 10% discount on each cottage.. so we would save a whopping 8 bucks a night....
QuoteGuys you still can't beat my quad since i had the very first ATP'd quad ;D
PS: Im gonna havea new lid too guys, thanks to Gregg YET AGAIN!
Kid, You were the first
Big is the 2nd

All 3 of you guys have (or will have when they're finished) very fast quads
However, you will have to beat the Rappy to be considered bad a$$. ;D

I live in Orange Park wichI guess is from the J'ville aera, it would not let me put in OP so had to use J'Ville. as anyone camped at the Rodman camp ground? I have looked at it and it is real nice. I like to tent camp and the weather should be real nice that time of year, maybe a little cool. I do know that you can't ride in and out but only about 1 mile from the sand pit. I am thinking about going to Rodman camp on Thurs. afternoon, getting set up and just hang out that night, then ride on Fri. Make it a weekend of rideing. My also bring my son with me.
Got cabin 7 for friday/saturday. if your still trying to figure it out, you might want to hurry, there are only two cabins left.
Quoteglad to see I'm not getting picked on for this anymore ;-)

funny you mentioned that. i was going to make a comment but i changed my mind. after all you did make it through that deep azz mud hole on the last ride so your in good standing. it helped make up for those "no shows".
jeff
Grizz please add Andy to the list he, his wife, and two girls are staying in cabin 28.
I think a good place to meet after the free beer is gone would be the fire or patio by the lake. If not look for the Bud tent ;D.

your quad will never fall apart if you dont ride it. well maybe you'll have to replace some gaskets after they dry rot. :)
hey kid, i worked real hard to get senile, just give me a 50' buffer and you should be safe.

Get back to the free beer part!!!! ;D
QuoteGet back to the free beer part!!!! ;D
so is it a plan then, you crashin at our place for the weekend?
Quoteyeah im not the only one givin you a buffer.

I've got a question..
How many dirtbikes are going to be on this run???
I have got a friend that wants to go and was wondering if there was going to be some bikes on this trip...
Don't known how many are going to be on this ride, but last ride there was only one dirtbike and I belive it was EricZ and he made it through all of the mud puddles alot better than some of the 4wheelers.
i believe eric and his son will be on dirt bikes this time.

Here is my addition, Cabin 22 for me, wife, son and probably Warrior. 3 Quads.
Did not get to meet you at River Ranch last weekend. We were the guys staying at GrizzlySP's old campsite. You guys stopped by while we were building our camp. Anyway, I reserved Cabin 22 for the weekend and they only had 2 left.

Is there going to be time?? with the day shorter..
Is the route for the trail ride going to be shorter than the last one??
It would be nice to do the trail ride and then spend some time over at the pit with everyone... The last time it was hard trying to get to know everyone while on the trail....
yah me and eric are bring our dirt bikes. i think he wants to show off his new yz250. i will be riden a kdx 200

Better call elite and make sure they plan ahead with the drinks.
If the free beer is 1 keg we better take up a collection for more
Nothing like free beer!! or putting a little money in the hat
To bad someone didn't like my Teeshirt idea(or maybe they did just dont want to take charge).
We order alot of hats and teeshirts at work if someone has a logo and will collect the money I will try and get a price

Nothing like free beer!! or putting a little money in the hat
To bad someone didn't like my Teeshirt idea(or maybe they did just dont want to take charge).
We order alot of hats and teeshirts at work if someone has a logo and will collect the money I will try and get a price
Jerry
i already came up with a bunch of stuff but there was a lot of disagreement
Disagreement about what teeshirts or beer?? Jerry

Been there done that huh?
QuoteIs there going to be time?? with the day shorter..
Is the route for the trail ride going to be shorter than the last one??
It would be nice to do the trail ride and then spend some time over at the pit with everyone... The last time it was hard trying to get to know everyone while on the trail....
mileage wise it wont be shorter, time wise should be better.
changing 5 things from last time will pick up 3-4 hours.
(1) we shouldn't have the water issue at the start
(2) everyone needs do do a better job of keeping up with the group.
(3) make the stop at the 88 store no longer than 1hr
(4) if you decide to take off on you own let someone know so we dont wait or go back and look for you
(5) and of course take the right trails
to be honest, it looks like we're taking a lot more riders this time. a small group can make it one way in 1-1/2 - 2 hrs of steady riding. we will be lucky to hold it to 3 hrs each way, adding a 1 hour stop = a 7hr minimum trip. thats if no one gets lost or has mechanical problems. any way you cut it is an all day round trip.

QuoteMods you got a logo?? Jerry
erbilibuc brought this up maybe 2-3 months ago. you can do a search to find the thread. there was a lot of disagreement on the logo. my thoughts are who ever takes charge should pick a layout and go with it. atvflorida.com would be fine in my opinion. but any logo should have the approval of mr bones and a percentage of sales go to the site.
jeff
If there's going to be this many people why not split into maybe 2 or 3 groups. One of fast riders and another for the slower ones. Then we can all meet up at the pits, 88store etc. in between. Just a thought. Maybe even map it out so the slower riders can take a shorter routwe and the faster ones take a long route so we meet about the same time. :-/

i hoping as more people get familiar with the forest we get to several groups. fast riders, trail riders and sunday drivers. i doubt a map would work as its so easy to get turned around even if youve been down the trails before. we could mark out some trails with a spot of paint on some trees. by summer i think several groups will emerge. when the days get longer i dont plan on turning back at the 88 store im heading south past hwy 40 and behond but people wanting to turn back should know by then how to do it. i like 100+ mile rides.

ok i just made my reservations lakeside #10 .....6 quads ;D ;D ;D ;D cant wait

I agree with you that the logo should be simple. I think that the ATVFLORIDA.COM would be a good idea.
Oh well just a thought maybe people can get together at the ride and come up with an idea for the next time Jerry

so you dont that early of a start 8)

I agree but that still is a really cool idea..
Lets say there is a 2 week turn time on shirts (ie; art, set-up and printing) Whoever is on the ride list at the cutoff date gets the name on. The others will just have to try harder to get their name on the next one.
on the front of the shirts its 1/21/05-1/22/05 not 04, its a new year remember :P
oh lol damn i forgot ::)
I figured you did, but i was just reminding you, i pick up on little things like that ;D
i think the shirt idea is great. how much will they run?

100 riders X 6' per quad = 600'

total group ride streched out = 2,600'
thats just under 1/2 mile

Quoteis someone gonna warn the folks at the 88 store ? :D
Either myself or Jeff is gonna call Mike at the 88 store and see about him bringing in some BBQ or something.
Thanks Grizz you the man Jerry
It will cost less than $20/shirt. However, the best way to get a good price would be to order in bulk. This would be close to $2k. I would hate for anyone to pay that much and then not get screwed if you don't sell them all. Also, you have to but in groups of 6. ^ shirts will cost a little over $135 total.
If someone wants to take their chances they could charge $20-$25/shirt and make a little profit for their investment.
My two cents on the shirt design if this happens would be, cut the names and use the tire on the back like Chris had pasted. All the names will be changing and it just looks to cluttered. Maybe the front of the last shirt design with Chris's back design, if that makes sense.
shirts can be made for well under $10 per shirt, I've seen simple ones go for $3 each, if you buy 100 shirts.
With this many people, we need communication. I just ordered 2 hands free units from www.motocomm.com I'll let you all know how they work out. They are compatable with my new 4 watt 12 mile range midland radios. Speakers and microphone fit inside your helmet (open or full face) and a weather proof PTT switch mounts to your handlebars you just push it to talk. Cost on the set up with out radio is $59.99 ea.
At the last ride we had several mishaps with people getting separated. This may help.
whoever calls the 88 store ask em to get anouther pizza over :D
I'm thinking of taking off from my place and riding to Rodman Dam in the morning then joining up for the ride and riding with the group to the 88 store,,,,then home from there.

I'd have to leave about 5am I think to be able to make it there at a reasonable time,,,,hmmmm, things to think about.

I have the same thing for my rhino's. works pretty good and doesnt cause problems in the helmet.

very cool,,,,kinda utility, kinda sport quadish,,,,I like it.
can we order individual shirts like that? got a link?
Id@
I like the idea of the T-shirts, but I don't think we should put the group ride # on it since there is one just about every 2 months or so. That would mean you would have to buy a new one every ride.
I did the drafts on www.customink.com. I also did a rough quote. For the first design, just out of curiosity I selected 10 Medium kids shirts and 100 Large adult shirts (they have sizes kids XS-XL and Adults S-4XL, so taking size orders wont be an issue) For those 110 shirts the total came to $632.50 at $5.75 a shirt, I would think depending on the shirt sizes, the price could go up or down a little. For the 2nd design, for the same sizes/amounts, the price was $744.70 at $6.77 shirt. Theres also a T-shirt place across the street from my work, I will stop by tonight and check on thier pricing also.
QuoteIt all looks good. what do you think about putting the date across the bottom of the design then???
We discussed that in the "Open Forum" and had decided against it.
QuoteI like the idea of the T-shirts, but I don't think we should put the group ride # on it since there is one just about every 2 months or so. That would mean you would have to buy a new one every ride.
I like that idea... then we could wear the shirts at every ride. Someone also had the idea of putting our screen names on the front, as much as I like that idea, it would have to be done on our own seeing that it would defeat the purpose of buying bulk. I know we could EASILY add our names to the front of the shirts by buying a $2.00 fabric pen from Walmart or any craft store. They come in all colors, that way we can have our screen names, but not jack the cost of the tshirts up.

I really like the designs. Take off the the group ride # and I'll buy 2
was wondering if the 88 store has gas. i ve never tried to go 50 miles on my 450. my wife and son have 400 s . so i think they would be ok. we have never been to this area to ride. any good directions to the dam. we are comeing up from sarasota.looks like we will need to come in that a. m. since we have a dog, and all the cabins are gone.and last , can we get this many trailers parked there ?????

We are all for this idea, we just need someone willing to collect the money and put in the order! We would take two one large and one small. If someone where to do this though I would recommend collecting all the money first and then place the order.

Yes they have gas,, i was a little worried about the gas milage before the first ride. but you would be surprised how far those 4 strokes will go.. And i am sure a few people will bring extra fuel if you needed it....
from sarasota: I75 north to sr40 east, to sr19 north to rodmans dr, and go to the dead end... easy!
cool, thanks for the quick responce.one more question. do we need any type of permit?
no permit

Quotesounds like a plan bro.
Id@
Yea sounds good to me too.
Quoteif you decide to make the trip from your house i can bring some extra gas to rodman so you and bp can top off.
jeff
If Ida is pushing it at 50 miles I am sure mine will be too. I may catch up with you the week before and drop you off a can of my special go-go juice for me to fill back up on. ;)

I made it to the 88 store from Rodman on 2/3 of a tank and I know that with all thats been done to the Rappy I'm sucking down more fuel than both of you guys.
Set up a a pay pal account, give folks the $ amount and where to send the pay pal money. whoever is doing the work, gives a cut off date for the orders, those who pay, get shirts, those who dont, get nada. whoever is gonna take on the burdon of doing this could estimate the cost per shirt and if they come out less (due to order size) than you have the choice of getting the money back or putting money on beer. i'd prefer the beer. so, make a deadline on ordering the shirts, set up pay pal, get the money, place the order, hand out shirts at the ride.
and dont worry, it's only gonna hurt for a minute or two.
kyle
QuoteWe are all for this idea, we just need someone willing to collect the money and put in the order! We would take two one large and one small. If someone where to do this though I would recommend collecting all the money first and then place the order.
i still like design #1 but keep it simple just atv.florida.com with the atv symbol front and back like you have it. just omit rodman group ride iv. just my opinion. i'll go with what ever you pick. the cost isnt bad either.
charge $10.00 and give the rest of the money to mr bones.
jeff
I will help anyway I can with getting these shirts ordered, for the next ride.
how about the simple shirt that has the best of both quads, a sport and a utility. same shirt for everyone
when is this ride going down?!?
I basically had that layout with 2 quads on the Design 2 (page 22).
QuoteI basically had that layout with 2 quads on the Design 2 (page 22).
I saw that but you had both sport quads at least I thought that's what they were on one. this could be both types on one shirt. but just an idea. I do like your design don't get me wrong. I know better than to piss off a woman that can cook like you did for the last ride... ;D
HAHA... smart man :) I will be starting another topic around 10am this morning with the final designs. There, you can vote on which one will be ordered. There will also be a deadline posted, so in that topic, be sure to state the sizes and quantity of shirts you'd like.
Here is an idea for the shirt . ATV FLORIDA on the front ,and on the back have a front or side view of a big utility and a mini with a sport flying over the top .
The official Rodman Tshirt post is now in the "Open Discussion" forum. Theres a total of 6 layouts. Vote on your favorite and place your order... deadline is December 1st. :)
QuoteI made it to the 88 store from Rodman on 2/3 of a tank and I know that with all thats been done to the Rappy I'm sucking down more fuel than both of you guys.
but how big is your tank?
I actually ran out at 51 miles one weekend,,,,and this was using my GPS to count the miles.
glad I had my extra tank with me.

I think the Raptor is 3.4 gallon.
mine holds 2.6 and i get ruffly(sp) 40 to 45 miles to the tank and its fixing to get worse ;D
Wow, go hunting for a week, and a lot happens. I like the shirt idea also, I'll check out the other post on it. This will be amazing if we can pull it off.

one of the main drawbacks of being a minor is not being able to call all the shots regarding your own wishes. sometimes its for your own good and sometimes other factors play into it. what ever your reason is i hope things get worked out where you can make it.
jeff
HEY GRIZZ PLEASE ADD BLUESMAN +2 MORE TO THE LIST
THANKS ;D
STEVE
hey yea that would be pretty sweet if we could get some of the local news station to cover this event and put it on the news...who knows mabeay rodman trail ride can become a sponcerd event some day..... ;D
I'll send a note to a neighbor of mine who's a reporter for Local 6.
Id@
Yeah, that would definately be cool! Hopefully it will call more POSITIVE attention to OHV use and maybe get a kickstart to opening more areas up.. not to mention, get more attention to this website, lol. If it does happen.. just be sure whenever you get on a quad with the cameras around.. to have your helmet on! I could just see that getting turned into some huge issue and hurt us instead of help us, lol (my luck anyway)

Haa aint that the truth. Granted they make good decisions when I probably wouldn't but half the time I can't make to any ride cause either Grams won't let me go or Gramps is working so I don't have a ride. I am trying to make it to this : ride :D but, I doubt I will grams doesn't like me riding alone. ??? :-/
QuoteI doubt I will grams doesn't like me riding alone. ??? :-/
alone is one thing you wont be if you make to rodman.
jeff
HAHAHAH 2 great minds think alike. Thats what I told her but, by alone I mean all by myself no other family members. I am trying to use the fact that so many are going to my advantage so I can hopefully go.
I was gonna say...alone is NOT an issue in this case...heh..quite far from it!
QuoteI was gonna say...alone is NOT an issue in this case...heh..quite far from it!
depends on if our leader has another case of get-gone!!! Sorry Grizz ;D ;D
But I'll have my own GPS on the bike thats not mine :o
This time I think we need to have a bit more of a plan when it comes to the ride. Alot of people got separated the last time. Maybe split into groups depending on speeds, with hopefully at least one person in the group having GPS. And be sure to do headcounts every so often, just incase, lol. I know I would hate to be riding and notice someone missing, when its been 45 minutes since our last stop, lol. Thats a lot of ground to cover to find them. The main thing.. Everyone look out for one another, whether you know eachother or not, lol. And I'm not sure if people last time realized this, but if you dont want to go on the ride to the 88 store.. theres a bunch of us that just hang out at the pit.. and go on smaller trail rides (dang gas guzzlers.. yeah.. you know who you are!) Lol.

Last time I checked, all the pit riders and gas guzzlers would be just about be everyone that had been ATP'd. NOT me. I am still stock, but someone has to be the same one of the bunch. Since we are all the outcasts...lol ;D
whats wrong with mine then i havent been Atp'd,i guess i need to take it there so i have a excuse :P

i agree sky, im riding slow on the way to the store and then my wife, son, and mom are driving back in the car so i can blaze my way back ;D
I just went and got two of those gmrs/frs radios with ear buds for the ride. It would be nice if each group had the front and back rider with one to keep everyone together. That is if we split up into fast and slow groups. Don't want to lose anyone out there, it's easy to get turned around, trails everywhere.
never been to onf. but i am going to this ride for sure. so far i got 3 for sure and waiting on about 10. we will be doing a one day ordeal.will post back when i have a total quad count.

right sky,
in our case when riding to the 88 store i doubt more than 4 people can get there legally through the woods, that would be myself grizz ida man and naples raptor . if someone else knows how please speak up. im hoping we eventually do smaller groups as people get familiar with the trails. lets atleast have a group of sport (fast) and a group of utes (slow). me and grizz will be in the utility group someone step up for the sport group.
helpfull hints not to get lost:
keep up with the guy in front
the guy in front should know who is behind them
use common sense if you get separated its very easy to follow tracks of 30 quads.
if you are not sure where to go wait where you are. if your riding with me i will come back and look for you. even if it takes 45 minutes.
designate a guy in the rear. the guy with the flag last time was excellent. we need some more flags.
we have several sets of radios promised this time.
do not break from the group without telling someone. this and not making a good effort to keep up is what happened last time and caused the big screwup!
if you dont think you can keep up please stay with the group at the pit.
jeff
Quoteif you dont think you can keep up please stay with the group at the pit.
jeff
Oh dang did he just call us slow? ;)
QuoteOh dang did he just call us slow? ;)
no no no. i would never insult you apt guys like that. that would be worse than storming a mosque. i should have said "stay at the pit close to your trucks" :)
jeff
I think I'm gonna try and make this one. I've never been to ONF before. How far is Delancey campground from Rodman dam? How do I get in on one of those gas drops? I ride a 2 stoke with a large appetite.
Looking forward to this one. Hopefully I can get to Ocala to check the place out before the ride.
Please put YamahaFirefighter down for 2 quads.
Can anyone give me directions how to get to the trail head or parking area from the Orlando area?

Grizz,
How long is the drive from Sunrise and what's the best way to go?
not a good date, thats my birthday i already have plans :-/
QuoteGrizz,
How long is the drive from Sunrise and what's the best way to go?
4 1/2 hour
Take I 95 North to Ormond Beach (Exit 268 ) go west on 40 to 19 north to to Salt Spring (Elite is on left)
I'm in Davie and it took me exactly 4 hours with a 15 min stop from my house to Elite camp ground. I-95 is the best way to go I have found. Use mapquest.com and put in your address and the address of Elite Resort 25250 east highway 316, Salt Springs, FL 32134 and it will give you the directions and best way to go.
QuoteLooking forward to this one. Hopefully I can get to Ocala to check the place out before the ride.

Don't forget to go into the Open Discussion Forum and place your orders for T-shirts. Deadline is December 1st, they are $10 a piece and all proceeds go to the site.

I have to appoligize , just in case anyone missed my comment earlier. Doreen and I will NOT be able to attend this ride. I absolutley would have offered to guide the sport quad group from the pit to the 88 store.
One BIG key point- KNOW who is behind you, and if they disappear- STOP or slow down until they catch up !!! This will in turn cause a domino effect in front of you as everyone eventually stops to wait for the person behind them.
I'm hoping there will be a Rodman Group ride V- maybe a few weeks after IV ? Perhaps I'll start a new thread about it...
jjamesbar,
the trips sound good, this will be my frist time out to rodman dam. I have a 7 year son he rides a Raptor 50. he a very good rider for his age and raptor is pretty tricked out it does about 25 mph, do think he can handle it ? Let me know. I have all the 2way radios for the trip.
thanks
ricky
I don't think a raptor 50 can keep up with us on this ride but you could stay back with the other group at Rodman dam.
We would happy to have u with our group if your son would ride with U on your bikes.
Grizz
hell-blaster
we will being going to the ride but staying in the pit area as many will do and take smaller trail rides that your son will be able to go, my nephew will be riding his new preditor 50 that santa will be bringing him so we will not be going on the "big" ride
but should be a great day of riding and meeting new people

it would be pushing it a bit for a 7yr old. we're talking around 60 miles round trip. we do make frequent stops but we are talking an all day ride. has he done anything close to that before? we have had more than a few adults catch rides back from the 88 store.

i knew you weren't able to make this ride. go ahead and start a february thread for rodman V. hopefully we will do 1 ride per month like we were doing before hunting season. maybe ida man will take the sport quads out on this one.
jeff
have anybody thought about motocomm radios. radio and headset for less than 100.00 each. is there anyone that will be able to show the sport quads back. slow ride out is ok. but would really like to push it on the way back

We rode with my 6 year old grandson, and had to double up a few times cuz it was a bit much for him and his 125 breeze. This will be a longer ride too. besides, the raptor only has 3.5 inches ground clearance, and that will kill your ride in the forest.
lil_mrs Where is the pit your refering to??
Is it by Rodman or the Eureke damn pit Thanks Jerry
thanks budman,
we are going to ocala on friday morning. let little guy tear it up. when you get a change check out this site. www.raptor80racing.com thanks again. grizz e-mail and I will send you some 2 way radio for your trip.
rodman!

ida man could. he has an atp modified 400ex.
you could probably just follow our trail back. 80 quads will leave a very good trail even on a dirt road.
jeff
Quoteida man could. he has an atp modified 400ex.

one would think that, but I still got lost coming back after I got seperated from the rest of the small crew I headed back with.
I'm gonna make some trips next time I go riding to see if I can find a somewhat smoother ride to Rodman from my end of the forest.
then maybe I can take a group back from 88 store.
but if I head from my place to Rodman in the morning,,,,I'll be headed from the 88 store home instead of going back to Rodman.
also, if I do that, I will of course have my truck with a trailer that I could haul some quads back to Rodman from there.
things to think about before the ride.

Just trying to get the word out that if you want a T-shirt please go to the open discussion forum and place your order. The deadline is getting closer and we don't have that many orders. :'(
What happened to all those people that where saying they wanted them ??? I am afraid the price of the shirts might go up at the print shop if we don't get more orders. The price was quoted on 75-100 shirts. We so far today only have 46 on order.

well since naples raptor isnt going that leaves me and grizz.

with the right maps for my gps, i'll be able to find my way around much easier! ;)
The combination of getting lost in ONF last time, better learning how to us my new GPS and maps from Grizz of the forest, I feel much more comfortable finding my way around for the next trip.
i was going to post to inquire if anyone going on the ride had EMT training. can i assume that you do?
Yes I am a EMT and would be happy to help anyone in need but I cannot be held responsible for any medical services, in a formal sense. Looking forward to a safe ride.

I am also a certified EMT but no longer do that line of work, But if anyone needs my assistance I am happy to help ;D

Hey where is Rodman Dam Trail Ride and what are the conditions like
Rodman Trail ride Is in Ocala National Forest about 4 1/2 from south Florida.
Trails are mostly sandy and dry .

QuoteHey where is Rodman Dam Trail Ride and what are the conditions like
search back a couple of pages in this thread for a map grizz posted. for conditions go to the photo threads a look up anything about ocala. opps see the post above this one. we must have posted at the same time

:D Well it looks like it helped when I last posted in here about the shirts. We had two members jump right on it and place orders. So lets try it again this morning. Since I know everyone is reading this forum.

QuoteIm very interested in the Rodman Dam ride but how does it work, is there a cover charge to get in, is it a one day ride and who do we have to let know if we want to go, :) :)
it wont cost you anything. if your coming post how many is in your group and grizz will add you to the list. if you take the trail ride with us you will want to have some money for gas or food at the 88 store.
jeff
Looks like there will be alot of folks on this ride. any plan of breaking up into some smaller groups? i will be happy to help, with the GOS route we can just follow that and meet up and certain points. would also be good to use the radios to keep in touch between the first and last in each group.
Family ATVers will be there. 5 bikes, 7 people, Myself (Jeff) wife June, daughters Amanda and Jackie, sons Alex, Jacob and
Aaron. Unfortunately the rest can't make it. See ya there! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Do we have to sign up for a cabin or do we have to get a hotel and how many people can stay in a cabin
The cabins at Elite are full
Check in Polatka for Motels or tent camp near by
Let me know how many quad in your party
Grizz
there will probably be a few people camping at my place in Salt Springs.
let me know if you will be camping.
so far I have only one confirmed that will be camping at my place.

Id@ has a house in Salt Spring he is not at the Salt Spring camp ground.
Grizz
opps sorry... hey did you get my email about the shirts and putting my name on the list or if it needs to be.
How many going from the J'vill aera? Maybe we can hook up somewhere aroung GCS, Eagle Harbor or Orange Park over on 17 area have breakfast and all go down as a group. Would have to hook up early. I am talking about Sat. morning around 0500 to 0530 in time to maybe eat and get to Rodman by 0730 for a place to park. Just an idea.
how big is the parking area at rodman????????? this is going to be alot of trailers. i know mine is 16 plus truck. and thats what our friend that is planning on comeing with us has as well

allright people, I have two bedrooms(1 king size bed, 1 double size bed) and a damn comfortable couch to sleep on.

last time a few of us met up at the huddle house in palatka. when the time gets closer we'll set up a place.
jeff
Quotehow big is the parking area at rodman????????? this is going to be alot of trailers.
this is a good point. in the past parking hasnt been a problem, that is until the last ride. several people got warning tickets for parking too far east of the "normal parking area". we are going to have to line up our trucks in an orderly pattern. we may need to start a new thread when then time gets closer to get this point across. i doubt rodman has ever had this many people there.

Huddle House sounds good, food not to bad and lots of parking around there. Will keep en eye out for more posts.
Parking at Rodman,
What does everyone think of this?
Park with the nose of our trucks towards the woods, leaving the trailers facing the road. This way we can park many more rigs close to each other. Space is going to be a problem.
4x4 trucks can park in the pit area, but not the others.
Just to get the thought started.

Thats a great idea Moose. everyone should pull up as far as they can (towards the pit) and start parking with about 4 feet of room between rigs and their nose to the trees. The first ones there simply park closest the the pit and the rest fall into line behind them.
Good call on that one Moose.
Just to get the thought started.

good point moose. this way no one gets blocked in. how long is the parking area? i'm guessing about 400' X 2= 800' /12'= room for 66 trucks. the 12' is allowing for a 8' wide truck with 4' of room between each.

Even if we decide not to ride from Ida's to Rodman it might be a good idea for those of us at his place to try and caravan to Rodman together so we can cut down on the amount of rigs taking up parking space. [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]
no kidding, its gonna be tight. better get there early. unless some park in the sugar sand the regular parking area will be full. not to mention the people that go there thats not a member here.

Quotewe should get a little gettogether sat night at one of those spots... who had the bud tent last time .. or someone recomend a central hang out after dinner and showers...
I say the best place to meet up is at the rec room. They have a couple of pool tables and a ping pong table but most importantly (and this is the whole reason that Scooter stays at Elite) is they have a free keg at the rec room from 6pm til it's gone. I'm going to call Elite and see if they will provide a second keg since we have so many people and didn't get any kind of discount rates.
vforce700
Do you have the price of all the different cottages
We should get a price break, even $5 a night, 22 cabins, that's $220, plus any RV sites rented. Plus any money spent at their store.
We should also check out the other places around the forest, maybe they would want our buisness a little more.
They might not care what we think, but they just might.
This ride has the potential to grow as time moves on, it has so far.
I'll get off my soap box now. ;D
Have a nice day all, see ya in Jan.
I think they gave me the discount it only costing me 15.50 a night for me and my family.
I didn't get a discount and I mentioned this site and got 2 cabins but they told me 5 or more,Please pay in advance no refunds Jerry

grizz,
it takes about 3 hrs to take the route through that maze of trails south of hog valley, eureka dam and on to the 88 store. thats with 1-10 riders. i'm just wondering if we should keep it simple and take that easterly route we've been taking. theres way more riders than i ever imagined when i started this thread. my guess is that we're looking at 5-6 hrs with 100 riders. 4 hrs by taking the easterly trails.
jeff
You are right, we need to take the short way to 88 .
Maybe if we have time on the way back we can cut throught salt spring to Norwalk back to Rodman Dam.

there are trails all over, but this particular trail starts close to the intersection of 314 and 88 in salt springs, you can follow the trails(the rights ones if you know them) all the way to hwy 40, but about 3 miles before you get there, there is a small clay pit about 1.5 miles west of road 88 I believe on either forest road 10, or forest road 76.
the forest road will be on the East side of road 88, but you follow the west side of 88 that just looks like a well used trail,,,,,that will dead-end into the pit.
or they could be talking about the clay pit that is very near the corner or 314 and 88 ;-)

Quote81 quads lined up end to end, say 6' for each quad with 3' space between them = 729'. that will make a nice pic.

cant pass another big ride like this have a friend who got a cabin for that weekend
we are leaving friday after noon we are coming from miami if you like we can meet up some where and you can fallow us up to rodman????
Quotei 'm going to try to make this one guys i'm just worried about gas and if anyone is going up saturday i would like to fallow them up there so i don't get lost i'll probably bring my four stroke dirt bike just so i can save on gas how about it guys
I will be leaving friday morning from the west palm area if anyone wants to meet and leave together. My truck and trailer will hold seven bikes without stacking. I am bringing one bike and possibly two more. That leaves room for four more. This will reduce the amount of trailers. I will be coming back Sunday afternoon. Let me know if interested. Tony
i will take you up on that offer

Quotegrizz, are this hotel safe to leave your quad in the parking lot.
sometimes our own houses arent a safe place to leave our quads.
jeff
Count me in. Only read 1st page so are you planning to take the same route and does the 88 store have gas cause the yfz ain't to good on the gas.
Be careful on the east side of the river . All the guys with the big 4x4's look at the sport quad post , Whatchugot ?

Grizz, maybe an addendum to the post you keep doing with the group count(by the way, I didn't spot my name on there)
There is primitive camping and plenty of space available over by my place.
There are campgrounds on the SouthEast corner about a half mile from the intersection of 88 and 314, and about a 5 minute quad-ride through the woods is my place where some people will be camping with a restroom, shower, cable tv, two refrigerators, oven, stove, microwave.
come one, come all,,,,just want to be able to fit everyone in the yard, so I hope a few people use the campgrounds instead of the front yard.
I will try to put up some signs at the corner of 88 and 314 and some signs at the beginning of the camps.
Id@
Might have to take you up on the offer to crash at camp Ida. Showers are always a plus after a long ride
c Could some one pls post campground info

there are 10 in are group and would like to go on this ride

the last 4 years ive been doing a late january ride. its been fairly good weather every year but its only a matter of time when we get hit with a freeze. it will make the water holes interesting.
jeff
QuotePut us down for 10 -11 quads in are group.
that will put us down for over 160 quads. do i hear 175?
160 quads roughly 6' each with 3' spacing between =1440' = over 1/4 mile. we need an arial photo.
grizz, are you bringing the airplane up for this ride?
jeff
ps. i wrote dirt wheels magazine about his ride. they responded back and said they would be interested in some interesting or scenic photos.
can we please just ride now ;D

Now thats what I'm talkin about!!! Nothing like bustin out 360s over puddles ;D One month... AND COUNTING!!! :)
I'm gonna still try to get my neighbor to get out there with a camera crew at least.
Channel 6 news here in Orlando.
Id@
U DA MAN ! I wonder if we could get St. Johns water management district to get us a photo if they are flying around ? Their office is in Palatka .
ill be going whit about 5 or 6 bikes or more
i predict over 200 :o
I'm have 2 bikes with me. Man this is gonna be crazy with so many people, can't wait.

That hunting season stops at rodman on 1/23/04...Am i wrong?????
Would'nt you think that there will be alot of hunter out on the 22nd???? :o[/quote]
I think with over 100 quads being at the ride that the hunters will be a bit outnumbered, lol. I dont think it will be anything to be too concerned about, if you are truely worried about it.. where a bright tshirt ;) Just watch out for piano wire and roofing nails, lol. I know myself and a bunch of others will be there, we could care less if its hunting season or not... its a free country and hunters have to share the land just as we do. :)
they hunt 2 month a year, we ride all year. they paid to hunt we ride for free, they have guns we have kids. what sounds wrong here? just what to have a good time.
Check this out, I think it will help ease your mind. If I'm not mistaken, general gun season is over the 9th.
http://www.wildflorida.org/hunting/wma/NE_Region/Ocala-web.pdf
i think it later then that
thanks guys; I called a ranger friend last night, General gun 11-3 to 1-9 and Small game opens 1-10 to 3-6 in Ocala. its better to be safe than sorry.
Yep, I don't know why but Rodman is considered "south district" and general gun is over on Jan 9th So ride on.
One thing to keep in mind, ONF is a ( Wildlife Management Area ) run by the FL. Fish & Wildlife Com. These areas sometimes have slightly different rules as the state general hunting rules, and they change them when ever they want, so you have to read their brochure every year to stay up on the changes.
I know there was some discussion about this earlier in the post, but can we get a definative answer on this from a ranger office? or two to be sure ;-)
Id@
Trust me I've been hunting there for years it always runs from the 2nd weekend in Nov. till the 2nd weekend in Jan. [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]
Just got back from India. (They have some great trails to ride, but I don't think we'll be doin a group ride there anytime soon). 170 quads on our next group ride? That's awesome! Can't wait to see everyone again.
count me in with 2 other bikes
hey greggt , i live up in sarasota, and i have a couple of friends that live in the cape.we are trying to figure out the time of morning we need to leave to make it to rodman by 8.00 am.
Quotehey greggt , i live up in sarasota, and i have a couple of friends that live in the cape.we are trying to figure out the time of morning we need to leave to make it to rodman by 8.00 am.
It takes right at 4 hrs to get to Rodman from Pine Island and Burnt Store Rd.
I'd plan on leaving at 3:30 just to be safe, That way you can stop in N Tampa and refill the coffee.
whew :o that is going to be a long day,, especially if your driving home the same day....

BTW Grizz count me in for 3 maybe 4, My fiance and son will be with me and possibly banshee28 also.
Are helmets required in ONF? Thanks for the feedback. My friend doesn't own a helmet and was wanting to know if he needed to buy one for this area.
no...but strongly encouraged.
QuoteAre helmets required in ONF?
and encouraged by others.
Id@
I know that I am very new to this site (THANKS BIGWORM FOR PUTTING ME ONTO IT) but I am going to put in my 2 cents worth about helments. If you are going on this ride wear a helment, and ride real safe and smart. As big as this has gotten there might be some of our news frinds around and we all know how thwy like to BASH ATV's, we do not need any bad press. ::) ::)
think safe! I think we need to set up different groups and spread the groups, 4 groups of 50 or 8 groups of 25 ? in each group you have a leader, rider with GPS and one guard at the end. the guy at the end will keep any other riders from moving up the line. we can keep a distance of 50 yard between groups. the leaders and the end guards can talk to each other by 2 ways radios. I will supply the 2 way radios from by rental stock. Motorola SP 50 talking distance of 5 miles with no problem. Just idea !
;D I think that we will have at least 4 atv's from Fernandina going and a possibility of an additional 2 more, put us in!! This will be our first trip to Rodman Does anyone have some gps waypoints of some of the starting points of the trails or posibly any other places that are on our proposed trail? Can you double up at Rodman or only single riders allowed? BTW this is a great site wish I had found it earlier!! Are there any age limits for riders? My son is 13 yr old on a honda 350 and I know some places won't let him ride certain sized machines^*&(^. ATVS ROCK!!!!!! :P ;D
I know this is a 24 page topic :o :o :o :o But if you go back you will find all the answers to your questions and no there is no age limit its all free just bring a quad and a mouth full of teeth to smile and have a good time. oh and you might want to bring some beer if your a drinker ;)
Good idea, big-daddy.... I know who my group is going to be, unless I bust Grizz's chops too much...He's left me before....I never learn. Unfortunately I will NOT have a GPS for this run. (see bad luck 12/04) Still paying for the last ride. But looks like I'm still in. The only question mark is what I am hauling the bikes with. The Ford is still down, but the Jeep runs. Well, today anyway. :-X

we are still working on getting off fri. may have to just get up extra early sat . morn.
grizz make it 3 for sure with me and maybe 2 more . but thats not for sure. they are still working on the time off
budman, we have a 30' trailer. I think their room for other quad. we are leave friday morning, gave myself friday off. ;D PM me and let me know.

Good idea... Another must is when riding allways keep the guy behind you insight and if this is done no one will get left behind....As long as everyone does it..
i have my new garmin276c.. Been using it everywhere it is a really easy machine to use...I've got it down packed,, with a little knowledge from my old one....made it easy....
Like i said before for the not so hardy riders,, Im going to follow everyone to the store but after that i will be heading straight back to rodman..Instead of taking the LONG WAY back..( To BS with the folks there). So if anyone is interested let me know and we will get group together at the 88store....
Im only doing this because of the last trip where we didnt get back to after 9pm due to complications. ;D ;D.. Let me know if there is anyone that wants to do this...
Quotebudman, we have a 30' trailer. I think their room for other quad. we are leave friday morning, gave myself friday off. ;D PM me and let me know.
We will be leaving from West Palm on Friday also. We could all meet on I95 and convoy up together. It looks like we will have extra space on the trailer if needed.
may have been discussed earlier but i couldn't locate..i have a raptor 660 and my son a dirtbike crf150. i don't know if we can make the entire ride on one tank of gas. does the "88 store" have gas?
thnx,
jeff
yes, on the gas
The groups will probably puddle up on their own . There will be a few people there with a knowledge of the trails , just pick a group you think you can hang with and hold on . They will probably be easy to figure out . I know I personally dont want my riding regulated to someone else's discression . So we can all get our money worth. :P
anybody riding that friday evening or night before?

Chris I think the reason we got back so late the last time was we had to wait for those 20 min pizzas, hopefully we don't run into this problem again. Due to more people and less daylight now we need to just spend more time ridding and not eating and we should be alright. And the way its looks more people have GPS's now so getting lost should not be an issue either.
i was going to ask if i should take the race front end of my sons 400ex and put his lights back on.i would hate for him to be with out lights .do you guys think we will be out after dark,any chance.
i read that some may go back the same way we came out from the 88 store . at a very quick pace. any further plans for that
If any of you have a cabin and can't make the ride then let me know, I will probably take it. I am planning on taking my camper but then I will have to take 2 vehicles, I'd rather just get a cabin if at all possible. Let me know.
Mike
Looks like I will be going with 2 quads + maybe 2 more
Hey everyone, remember me ::)
This will be the first time I get to ride my quad again. I cant wait for the day to get here.
See ya there !!!!!

i like the idea but the fact is there will end up being hundreds of yards between some of the riders in the groups much less the spacing between the groups. its happened every time for the last 4 years. lets give it a try. i will lead on group to the 88 store. is anyone else down to lead a group? now, not everyone may be down to ride that far or to that destination so some other groups can just go where ever they want.
2 - 8 riders can get to the 88 store in under 2 hrs. 100 will take 4 hrs at least. its all the equipment and mechanical problems that kill you.

I'm staying in the pit this time, I know it will be dried up a bit from last, but I just prefer to stay put.
Id@
Geez this thing is takeing forever i feel like Jan 21 is my birthday or something. lol yea I think I will be staying at the pit for the most part. I never been to rodman befor so I will probably go around with my group and explore. I will take a flare gun incase we get lost .... So please if any one see's a flare in the sky go find us.. LOL LMAO
if will can reach you before the rangers, because of the big fire you started with that flare gun.

I might do the same. or ride some surrounding trails, it will be good just meeting up with everyone from here
Grizz
You said you will be in site 12 we will be in site 15 and our friends are in site 19 can't wait.
see ya there
if you have the least amount of doubt about the ride to the 88 store you should stay at the pit. you'll still have a great time there as well. i'm not one to stay in one place, i like trail rides.
jeff
I agree with JJamesbar, I cant stay in one place, I like to go out and explore the woods. What the sense of driving that far just to stay in a sand pit.You can do that anywhere local. I think that just defeats the purpose of a group ride if you just want to stay by yourself and ride in a pit. But to each there own I'm pretty sure everyone is going to have a blast just being around that many quads is always a good time.

Hell, Just being around me should be enough fun in itself.
QuoteHell, Just being around me should be enough fun in itself.
thats what im talkin bout, yall just show up and i will keep ya happy attitude ;D. im riden as far and as fast as possible and if i get lost just drop me some fuel and ill find my way out sooner :( or later ;D
i think we should seperate into groups by the speed at which we want to ride, say 10 being borderline unsafe warp speed to 1 being there was 9,485,465,734,632,849,959 leaves on the ground and i know because i had time to count them. put me down in the 10 group ;D
im sure someone can do one of those poll thingies to see if or who would like smaller groups and if not we can wing it like last time and all went well except for the infamous 2 hour lunch
Quotei think we should seperate into groups by the speed at which we want to ride
that still brings us back to the question, whos going to be up to leed? i'm all for more groups. i could leave ahead (around 8:00am) with a small group of 10-15 riders and some orange marking paint and mark all the turns on the ground, this way it will degrade in a short while and every one can ride at thier own leasure or speed. and those just wanting ride in the woods could follow the marks back and not get lost.
just a thought

QuoteHell, Just being around me should be enough fun in itself.
Hey, Who do you think you are, the Grizz? Everybody knows, He is the guy to hang with...lol ....After all, he is "The Grizz" In his mind.... He is the canuck right now...trailbazing around quebec right now...

You are in your group of one...lol ;D
I'm planning to lead a small group from Ida's to Rodman in the morning to meet up with everyone then just play around the pit and maybe do a few runs down to the Delancy/Salt Springs area and back so us high octane gas guzzlers don't run out. So for anyone choosing to stay around the pit we'll be doing some short high speed rides maybe 25-35 miles at a time. Of course all this is depending upon weather if it is freezing cold/raining I will probably trailer the quads to Rodman to give it a chance to warm/dry up before we start riding.

that would be sweet if you could use like ftr markers but if you think the paint will do then it would work too

orange marking paint would be faster.

QuoteI think he's planning on riding up the side of 19.. ;D
Wouldn't be the first time! ;) I'd prefer not to run it the whole way but Ida seems to think he knows a way it isn't against any laws to run the side of the Hwy to my knowledge or is it? If time permits I am going to do a scout ride to find the right path and mark it on GPS.
if you can't find your way through the trail just do what my group did the last time when it was pitch back out. Ride on the side of 19 like Mike said.
Quoteif you can't find your way through the trail just do what my group did the last time when it was pitch back out. Ride on the side of 19 like Mike said.
Yea I did that on the last ride myself but it wasn't dark I just couldn't find the right trail so instead of getting lost I went the way I knew. ;D It's a long ride from Salt Springs to Rodman lol If I can get to just north of the Salt Springs rec. area I know exactly where to go from there through the woods it's just the first leg from Ida's to SS that I am worried about.
Quoteit isn't against any laws to run the side of the Hwy to my knowledge or is it?
as long as you stay on the back side of the telephone poles or ditches your legal. anything between them is the right-of-way. the man dont like us riding there, he gets a little miffed. along 19 there are a few places you have to ride in the right-of-way. you just have to drop the hammer and go. i prefer to stay in the woods though.

to be able to head that way from my place, you need to first go West of 597 then turn North. Basically if you are looking at a map of the area, mark three spots: 1. 88 store, 2. 314 X 88, 3. 314 X 597. Now that you have these three spots marked, draw a triangle between them,,,,,thats the area thats off limits and it's not marked very well to let you know you are in a off-limits spot.
I'll try to draw a map in a few minutes since I got nothing better to do than work ;-)

My wife rides a Trailblazer and she makes it to the 88 store with enough fuel, then on the way back she is fone on fuel also, as long as we dont get lost to much.lol
Was out to Rodman yesterday and We noticed that we will be unable to take the "wet trail", that was the begining of the trail ride that made quite a few people turn around because they made that area a conservation area .
I dont know, I think that flmudder is coming by himself. People dont like to ride with people that get stuck all the time cause it slows everone down.
QuoteI dont know, I think that flmudder is coming by himself. People dont like to ride with people that get stuck all the time cause it slows everone down.
Dont you worry if I get stuck I can get myself out. I remember quite a few times having to pull my buddies Honda out. If you do not get stuck that means you are not trying the deep stuff. It seems each time I pulled my buddies Honda out it was because his wife was riding it and she aint scared to try the deep stuff. I guess his wife has got more kahonas than he does!

this is not good. that leaves just 1 trail into the main part of the forest to my knowlege. they are slowly tightening the nuese on us. but we wont have that water issue again, at least at the start. where did they put the barrier and did you attemt to ride out onto the forest on the other trail?
jeff
Jeff,
You can always take the trail that the group with Naples Raptor( the group that turned around last time) took before we all met back up...but it's really whooped out. Just a side note, I wonder how many are taking the 88 ride and how many are staying around the pit this time. That may help you plan your route.

Yeah I know that it isn't good, That area that they have blocked off had just as much water there if not more this time, They blocked it off about 50ft from the water with one of there 4x4 wood markers. The other trail is still fine that leads out towards the 88 store direction
Luis
I was there this week. Rained saturday all day and litte bit sunday morning. when to Lake Dalancy on tuesday took the north trail from the campground all the way to Rodman dam sandpit. no problem, must have dry up?
QuoteJeff,

right gregg, i think its the only way out across fr77 now. once we get across fr77 (forest road 77) our options open up. im thinking of jumping off that trail at some point to avoid the whoops.

yeeehaaaw, they shut off the water hole ;D maybe this time the group can stay together, atleast till we get to the store ;)
im going to make a post to see how many are still riding the trails or staying at the pit now . due to the quantity of riders i think alot of folks have changed their minds.

ok i dont know my way round ocala too well.. im coming from i-75 tampa area what exit do i get off at and where do i go from there?
When you get close to ONF, just pull the side of the rode shut your truck off and listen for the sound of about 200 quads and fellow your ears. JK ;D I dont know the way from Tampa, pretty sure someone can tell how to get there though.
Quoteok i dont know my way round ocala too well.. im coming from i-75 tampa area what exit do i get off at and where do i go from there?
Take 75 to hwy 200 and head N.E on that, You'll go over a bridge and look for MLK blvd. Take a left and go a bout 1-2 blocks and take a right on hwy 40. Follow that several miles to hwy 314. Take a left and stay on that about 25 miles, It dead ends into cr 19. Take a left on CR 19 and follow that about 13-14 miles til you come to a humongous bridge, (cross Florida barge canal)take a left before you go over the bridge and take that til it dead ends. Thats Rodman Dam.
QuoteI have never heard of this Rodman Dam before. I will hopefully be there with about ten others. I hope there is some mud! :)I just joined this forum today after seeing a post on the Highlifter website.
sure am glad that post got someone attention. thanks and welcome to the site, hope to see yopu at the Rodman ride
Great to see so many people will be turning out for this Ride. This will be my first Rodman ride so I hope to meet a lot of the great riders i've talked with on this site!
Grizz when you read this could you please add me and brother to the riders list? Looks like we'll be riding with Dreth...thanks ;D
Regarding those coming from Tampa. I live in Ocala, and I advise you to get off at RT 40, not 200. Go east completely through Ocala and past Silver Springs. Then you will cross a very large bridge that looks out of place. At the next light go left on 314. Take it to the end and you will be at RT 19. Go left and at the big shipping center on the left is the Elite Resprt. If you continue north on 19 about 10 miles you will come to Rodman Dam on your left.

Yeah, Either way will work. I've been there at least 20 times last year and It's quicker and shorter taking 200 but it's probably easier (turns wise) to take the 40 exit.
Hey where is the updated list we should have well over 200 quads now??? geez this is getting huge
Blaster, Grizz is in Canada for the Holidays and he is the one who updates the list. The update will have to wait for him to get back.
20 days ;D ;D
are we there yet?????

Sir Grizz would be the best to give you directions from Miami area, as far as camping goes, there is no camping at Rodman, but there is a campground up the road from Elite that I'm sure will have room.
Id@
there IS a campground at rodman.
it's on yer right hand side when yer heading towards the dam.
I don't know much more than that, I do believe it is primitive, but don't hold me to that.

forgot about it,,,,but you can't ride from there.

true...but it's close :)
From Miami I-95 is the best way. Take it about 270 miles to the FL 40 exit west 35 miles to Silver Springs to FL 19 go right about 30 miles and there will be a sign on 19 directing you to Rodman Dam. You will pass Elite Resort Camp Ground at the 15 mile mark on SR 19. Use Map Quest if you need more detail and enter in the address of Elite Resort. Rodman is 15-20 minutes from Elite.
cool thanks can you ride from Elite to rodman and is there going to be spots there or do i have to put a reservation
Hey there every one I am new to the club, I tried to attend the last rodman ride but one of my friends was having some engine problems! But met lots of cool people and I am defantall up for this ride!! I will be bringing My wife, my roommate, another friend of mine, and his wife, and possibly one of my friends from Ohio!!

There is a real nice camp ground at Rodman. You can not ride out of there but it is real close. It has tent and RV camping. If you tent camp or need a shower it has areal big shower room. I have not camped there but did drive around in there one time checking the place out. The tent sites are real big and have room for 2 tents. The place looks real secure as they lock it up at night. I am still thinking about staying there Fri and Sat nite. It is first come first served on the tent sites, don't know about the RV sites. 8) ::) ;D I for one am ready to ride.
The Grizz posted hotels in Palatka about 20 mins. away fromRodman Dam on page 21 if anyone is interested.
He also gave a link to Salt Springs campground on page 18.
I hope this helps. It helped me.
Down one machine, [smiley=Question.gif]would it be a good idea to piggy back, for I never road this trail looking forward to comin, but she wouldn't stay out of the mud now one machine.
Riding double is not illegle but depending on what kind of quad you have it may be uncomfortable on a long ride.
QuoteRiding double is not illegle but depending on what kind of quad you have it may be uncomfortable on a long ride.
I agree, unless your pretty tough then I wouldnt ride double. These rides can be hard enough for someone alone on a quad
this ride is getting bigger and bigger every day all I worry about is parking Im doubleing up with some one to save room with 200 plus bikes this ride should be a record.Cant wait ;)
Hi we are new, was just riding over x-mas break with the family. Met another family at Mill Dam cabins and they were talking about this ride in on the 22nd of Jan. My husband and I would really like to join the group for the ride in. Do I just show up or is there a procedure that we follow. We had a blast with the children put 98 miles on the machines. Enjoyed the lam trail in Ocala. Went to the Big Scrub, was very busy. We used to do snowmobiling in NH and have longed for something to replace that with and I think we have found it. If I am reading this right the ride is going to be near Ocala. And we can stay at Salt Springs are there cabins? Please email or post to let me know. Thanks

thats probably the best way to handle it, I know I'm gonna try to throw 4 quads on my trailer to take them to Rodman from my place in Salt Springs just to save parking area.

You cant ride out of Elite campground is that correct ? You must trailer to Rodman
CORRECT! YOU CANNOT RIDE OUT

I am looking for any one who knows of any were a friend of mine can rent or borrow a quad for the rodman ride????
just about any thing will do for him as long as it will make it through the ride!
Thanks aaron
you can rent one in Orlando at Eagleriders motorcycle rental phone # is 407-316-8687
Sorry if this is a duplicate, my husband says he posted this but I can't find it.
After the trail ride Saturday would anyone mind letting us (rent) or use there shower? We are not camping or renting a cabin. We live 45 minutes away, but want to stick around for the fun Saturday night at Elite. And we feel if we drive home we are not going to want to drive back.
Hey girlie, my wife and I are staying in cabin 22. Warrior and grizzlysp are also staying there. You are then welcome to shower there if you like.

He said he posted it somewhere, but I looked and could not find it. Thanks
QuoteHey girlie, my wife and I are staying in cabin 22. Warrior and grizzlysp are also staying there. You are then welcome to shower there if you like.

Hey by the way did your shirts fit?

Hey by the way did your shirts fit?
Didn't have a chance to try them on that day, Dreth took them home, and put are screen names on the shirts. I am pretty sure there fit thanks for asking.
Yeah it would of been nice to get screen names on them, but with 83 shirts I think that would of been a lot of money.
Holy smokes :o :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o 241 quads that is a lot of people and allot of bike man this is going to be awesome and that's not including the people that will be there that go on the regular and that don't write on the forums. I cant wait I wonder if anyone else will join.
I had a thought, if parking becomes a problem would delancey be on the way for the ride to 88 store if so some people can pick up with the crowd there or if we can park at rodman campground and have a few with big trailers shuttle people and bikes just an idea ;D
243 riders, HOLy CrAp...... Some one needs to bring a Bullhorn so we can get that group photo done right. I'll bring some of my photo/video gear.
I'm thinking that a few big trailers will be needed to ease the parking concerns.

QuoteYeah it would of been nice to get screen names on them, but with 83 shirts I think that would of been a lot of money.
Are you bringing the other shirts to Rodman?
QuoteAre you bringing the other shirts to Rodman?
hope so, I need to grab my two.
Id@
QuoteAre you bringing the other shirts to Rodman?
Yep, I just got done sorting everyones out. We plan on being there really early. So just keep your eye out for me, I should be wearing my shirt.
My friend who I'm coming up with this time has a 28' trailer that can haul 6 or 8 atvs plus 2 wheelers. I will ask him if he would shuttle if someone wants to organize parking at the camping area.
It would be good if we can leave enough room at the end of the road to make a U-turn with a big rig like that to make the shuttles easier. Can whoever gets there first direct traffic to keep that area clear?
Is it too late to order more shirts or all the late people like me?
QuoteIs it too late to order more shirts or all the late people like me?
yep wayyyyyyyyyy too late.
Have fun on the group ride, im in for the next one, ill be down from jersey in march.
QuoteIs it too late to order more shirts or all the late people like me?
Go to the following link, if I can get a big enough order going I will place a 2nd order.

Well I hate to have to do this, but please take me off of the list. I just found out that I will be leaving this Friday to go to Indonesia to help with the relief effort. I should be gone for a minimum of four months, but maybe there will be a ride around the time I get back.

Dave,
Sorry to hear that you're missing the ride but They need our help over their something fierce. God bless you and stay safe.

I took you off the list
The Grizz
249 Bikes?? Wow, this ride is going to be great. Has anyone got in any touch with media yet (TV, Radio, etc)? Just curious.. this is just such a great opprotunity to get a good name for us ATVers. Less then 2 weeks.. I CANT WAIT!!!
I was left out grizz :'(

I'm not too sure we need the news media other than maybe ATV magazines, etc. reporting on this. No telling what kind of anti-ATV spin they might put on it. (Oh my God they are destroying the forest!!!)
Just a thought...
Lol, good point. It would just be so nice to finally get some positive coverage... everything is always negative :(
I emailed Dirtwheels twice and attached a copy of this link with it but I haven't heard anything about it.
About the news. With our luck they will sit in the pit all day just waiting for something to go wrong. Then they won't air the story at all when it goes well.
to help out with the parking issue my wife is gonna drop me and my dad off and take the van back to elite and come back to get us around dark. if anyone elses wives are not riding and they coud do this also it would even be better.
Not a bad idea Dreth. Also, we can plan ahead of time who will park at Rodman Dan and who will park at Lake Delancy and ride over to Rodman via the quads.
Also, seeing that there will be so many people on the group ride... it may be wise to start a forum saying who has GPS... and getting into groups of 15-30 ahead of time (before the 22nd) so everyone knows who they are riding with. The groups can take off for the 88 store about every 15 minutes or so. It would save up on congestion in the trails and help make it a little less dusty. Not to mention it will be safer for everyone on the ride. It's easier to keep a headcount with 30 people in your group compared to 200, lol. A line of 200 bikes is going to be really long and there would be no way for everyone to keep track of one another... at least it will be really difficult. I would just hate to see a lot of people get lost, there were a bunch of people that got lost on the last ride (some didnt get back until almost 11pm) and there were a lot less people on that ride.
- just an idea, tell me what ya think ;)
Add me to the list too.....I am going for the Sat ride...Not sure if I will make the trail or not due to gas in the Banshee...I will decide..But I will be there for the day on Sat 8)

I'll try my neighbor again, I'll see if I can catch her at home this evening(reporter for Channel 6).
Id@
SKY,
Good idea. I will start a new topic "Rodman IV GPS."
Anyone comfortable leading a group please sign up there.
Maybe Grizz can post sequential waypoints of the trail that the leaders all follow.
I have been thinking about giveing one of the local J'vill TV stations a call and telling them about this ride and this site. But before I do want to get some input about doing that. I am rather new to the site and don't want to step out of line. I will watch this for a day or so to see how people fell. Just give me a [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif] or [smiley=ThumbsDown.gif]
Jim [smiley=Question.gif]
[smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]
This will be my first time at Rodman but as far as us inviting media and reporters I don't think we are going to impress many non riders if all they get is pics of us roosting around the sand pit. The last thing we need is for someone to try and show off for a pic and get hurt. Maybe if we knew of a time that the trail ride group was getting to the 88 store some small time reporter would be interested in meeting us there and reporting on how many bikes show up and how much business is being brought to the area because of this ride? Maybe the 88 store owner would have some kind words to tell about all the business we keep bringing back? I just think we need to be careful here. Some of you might remember a while back an Orlando Sentinel reporter was on this very website asking to meet some riders @ Big Scrub for photo's. Well they did and 2 weeks later I see an article in the Sunday paper with a picture of a quad up on 2 wheel's riding. It did talk about the riders at Scrub in a small paragraph and spent the rest of the article slamming us on how certain organizations are trying to ban atv's for all riders under 16 because of all the dangers.

Not everyone has such a cool wife like you Dreth. If I ask my wife that she might just leave me there since according to her I love my bike more than her. ;D
Quote[smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]
I'm good with it,,,,,give them some incentive and tell them that an Orlando station is possibly showing up.
Id@
May need to rethink the media thing in light of the Bad News Rodman Post. I will wait a few days to get more input before I give anybody a call. Keep posting what you think.
Jim ??? ???
I say dont bother with any media. They others are right when they say our good thing will just get twisted into someone complaining about how many of us there are and how much we are ruining the environment, etc... I say we just stick to writing our letters and showing up at the meetings (Hence the one on the 14th).
Who needs media ;D
QuoteNot everyone has such a cool wife like you Dreth. If I ask my wife that she might just leave me there since according to her I love my bike more than her. ;D
Until I got mine, I thought the same thing about my husband. He was always in the garage with it working on it, or just doing god knows what out there with it.
Hello all please add me to the list of riders. I hopefully will have at least 3 others with me. I was at the last one and could never miss this one. This is SKINNY anyone remember me????

I am coming up Friday and arriving around 12-1 o-clock and I am looking for some spots for some quick rides without getting too lost. I know about the corner of 314 & 88. Anything else?
My cousin is picking up his raptor 660 today.. so add 1 more...

hell its just about as expensive when you get into mods, AA, ATV Anonymous, nah QA, Quads anonymous, it won't infringe on the real AA.

Just a thought about fueling up at 88 store. To speed up the process if everyone buying gas would bring some one dollar bills and just keep the pump going instead of each person pumping then paying, etc. it would save a lot of time.
Just round up and and give the extra to 88 Store for a tip. For example, if you take $2.50 in gas pitch 3 bucks in and move on...
thats a good idea
not a bad idea, but what about the folks who use 93, they do have 93 right?
I would be surprised if they don't. That's even better. Have both pumps going at the same time. People who don't normally use 93 can use it if no one else is. Might even make them go a little faster!!!
I check my pictures and they do have 93 and 87 octane
Grizz
it is a good idea as long as you can find someone to collect the money ;)
I run mix gas ....I guess I'll just have to drop off 2 cans before we go. I know both mr R's can't make it but one way!! :-/
Either that or just bring some oil to dump in then do a few whoops to mix thoroughly!!! ;D
QuoteHi, My name is Mike and I'm an atv addict.
Hello Mike my name is Matt and Im addicted to 110 oct. I just cant get enough of the smell. Sometimes I find myself riding in circles or in the garage with the door shut and the quad running. Is there any help out there for me?

Quotehey ida i would of let you borrow my 400ex since i got 2 and cant ride both but its already been claimed lol
appreciated, but it took my boss about 10 re-starts and stalls to move my 400EX about 20 feet,,,,on concrete.
he needs something easy to drive ;-)
the rentals were 250 Trailblazers, but they are both rented for the weekend.
again, if anyone knows of another place in Orlando or nearby to rent a quad, let me know.

This is a copy of my post in the Rodman IV GPS thread...
I have created 3 routes in Garmin Mapsource version 6.5. One heads South from the pit and then West toward Tabacco Patch then South toward Eureka Dam crossing Hwy 316 then South about 3 miles and then East NE to 88 Store. This route is named Rodman WEST to 88.
The 2nd is named Rodman EAST to 88 and as the name suggests heads South from the pit and then East and SE across Hwy 19 then South and back SW across Hwy 19 to the West to the 88 Store.
The 3rd route goes from a waypoint called Lake D Split and heads North back to the pit by way of Lake Delance campground.
At this point I plan on taking my group of sport quads WEST at 9am from the pit. Anyone wanting to go is welcome. I believe Grizz is going to lead a group of 4x4s on the EAST route. This route is about 5 miles shorter so hopefully we will get to the 88 store about the same time.
The Lake D Split route is for anyone who wishes to take a shortcut back to Rodman instead of going all the way around to the East. I will most likely go this way back depending on time.
This is posted on both the Rodman IV GPS thread and on the main Rodman ride thread so everyone can see it. Chris505 can you please post the map with the routes on both threads?
Anyone who wants the GPS data I have it saved in several formats. Not sure if it will work with other than Garmin, maybe the GPX (GPS Exchange Format) will. Send me an email with the version of Mapsource you are using. The latest is v6.5 which uses .gdb v2.0 files.
My email is: dkedward@tampabay.rr.com
Have fun!!!
Dave
I can have this file for download to all who can use it...

Oh, btw 3 people, 2 bikes 03 Grizzly and 03 Raptor (it it's out of the shop)

Hey Grizz..
I was planning on having good ol' grandma take care of my 2 little ones, 4 and 5 so wife and I could go on this ride. Gramps is out sick and will probably have to back out from taking care of kids. I have a cabin at Elite I paid for 189.00 and spoke to the Elite people since they do not offer refunds or cancellations. If you know of anyone or if anyone here wants the cabin they can paypal me 189.00 and I can change the name with Elite. Otherwise I might still go up with kids but not go on the ride. I have cabin #22 checking in Friday and out Sunday.
I would hate for you to miss out on this ride,We have Flblaster little girl age 3 double ride with her parent too. Hope U can still come. If not I am sure some one may want your cabin.
Grizz
Hey dc8driver, I'll take the cabin...email me what info you have... shanehoffmeyer@tds.net
thanks
Ok, I have this BIG riding problem all figured out. Just see the attached picture below.
Mrs Nightbreed, Myself and about 6 or 7 select friends will take everything inside the circle with the red X, and everywhere in the green area outside is for single file 5 mph riding for everyone else. LOL ;);D

Can you say BURRRRRRRR! especially at 8am in the morning
It is official add 7 more to my count
I just wanted to let everyone know that I will have ATVFLORIDA.COM stickers for sale at the ride. MR.BONES sent me 100 of them and I had about 25 or so left over from the last Rodman Ride. So I have about 125 of them.They are the same price as they are when you order them through the site, $4.00. If you want one try to get it early because with almost 300 quads showing up they won't last long,and I will be leaving a little earlier than everyone else, so get 'em for they're gone.
I will have an EZ-UP tent set up with a huge ATVFLORIDA.com banner (white with red letters) on it.
See ya there
Corey
Since Grizz has already left, and he won't be able to read this post until Sunday nite...(unless there is a RAT or 2 on this site) I got a shirt for him to wear on this ride....Mrs Grizz and no longer kodiak girl... ssshhhhh...It fits the old fart well.... dang...probably said too much already!!! Give him props on his new shirt. Well, after all...He is "The Grizz"!!!!
Following behind the Grizz, we are leaving 7:00 AM on thur. See you all at Elite!
I just talked to Griz, He's in Palm bay now.
Dude...I'll be there on Friday about 1 or 1:30....lets ride....Cya Fri...

What time you plan on getting there Steve? We're thinking about 1o am at the Ida trails.
Well I gotta stop for groceries so probably btween 11 and 12 before I get there. ;D
Yeah did i mention it sucks that im missing this :(
Garfield NJ current weather: 24 Degrees F (Feels like 18 ) about 2 inches of snow on the ground, high today of 33 degress
Oh yeah, you know you would rather be here, at least my white bike blends in with the road.
Hey Dad, are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet?

the Id@ trails?
dang, I musta started something.
Id@
http://www.local6.com/money/4110368/detail.html
I'm sure others have heard this on the news, but thought we should all be on the lookout, just in case. We are going to be going deeper into the woods than most searchers can go, so why not?
Id@
Just a thought, someone local, Ocala area, call the authorities and let them know where we are riding and we'll keep our eyes open. A little positive awareness with atv's.
Hope someone finds him soon and gets him off the streets and back in jail where he belongs Jerry
Poor kid. Not saying he's camping where we'll be or anything, but at least with being so deep in the woods, we can always keep an eye out.. and get where the cops cant... you never know. Sometimes things are right in front of you and you dont see them... for instance...
A few years ago we used to go swimming at a spring somewhere around Ocala (just in the woods, kinda like Blue Sink). There was a little girl buried there. A guy from Geneva (Town I used to live in) had killed her and buried her there because it was her favorite place. We walked by her 100 times that weekend, and had no idea!!! It was on the news when we came home... guess the cops searched it right after we had left. Just makes me feel kind of icky knowing that if we would have looked to the left or something while walking down the trail, we may have seen her...
wow ash that sucks! We will def keep an eye out. 1.5 days "hopefully" :o Maybe ill get to see yall :-/
Hope I come across ole FRITZ . On a lighter note... I'm leavin tonight yahoooooo . See some of you there tomarrow .
We will be covering a lot of ONF on this ride. I plan on taking the West route with my group and Grizz is heading East. I will definitely slow down a little and watch out for this kid.
We got some straps to drag ole Fritz back with? ;D
QuoteWe will be covering a lot of ONF on this ride. I plan on taking the West route with my group and Grizz is heading East. I will definitely slow down a little and watch out for this kid.

just one big enough to tie around one of his toes is all we need.
Id@
You think that guy had any idea that those woods are about to be invaded by 270 bikes?
Lmao... he is fixing to get a rude awakening.. unless the cops find him first. Lets keep an eye out for Skunk Ape while we're at it.. j/k ;)
LoL, I like the strap idea... be sure to hook it to his.. um... willy ;)... he desearves it.
Kid: We'll be out there in the morning definately! Scooter told me we're parking at the back half somewhere, so I assume we'll be riding the quad over to Rodman... I CANT WAIT :) It'll be great to see everyone again!
Quotejust one big enough to tie around one of his toes is all we need.
Id@
Make sure he gets the grand tour of the woods before you give him to the cops.
Idk if that is such a good idea, he can get off on a technicality, if you do find him, just detain him and call the cops, any beatings he gets (and should) can be twisted by some lawyer and he might get off, or you can say you found the kid but never found him ::hint hint::

yeah, jailhouse justice would probably be better.

oh yeah you know what they will do to him in there, a child molester that took a 11 year old BOY into the woods, he's done for. Or you can kill him and hide the body, its up to you.
Is it time to ride yet. I am ready to go out hunting for that D#$m Molestor.
Uh ,yes Ofiicer, We found the child that has been abducted. He was sitting in the woods and there happens to be a dead guy with him. Don't worry, I've got him tied behind my quad and I'll meet you at Rodman Dam. ;D

Mtg Man , When you escort him back I will try not to follow to closely [smiley=Sleepy.gif]
This brings up an interesting question in my mind.
Why not let the authorities of Florida know about this site, when they have a search going on like this, they could post a message on this site telling the members.
I know a lot of planning went on to get this many people together, but if we can get even 1/3 this many people out on quads in the forest looking, maybe people won't be missing for long.
It's a chance for us to do a good deed, and ride at the same time,,,,also, not bad publicity to have ATVers out on a search.
Id@
Yee haw!!! We got everything lined up to leave Friday morning. See ya'll around noon or a little after.
Thats a good idea ida, an atv search party can cover alot more ground then people on foot, add to that the numbers of people that would be willing to get involved, and your probably doubling the area searched in a day.
I e-mailed Bay News 9 in Tampa and told them of the group ride and that there will be almost 300 more people looking for the missing boy.
That is what i'm talking about , as wise man once said late one eve " CAN YOU HEAR US NOW ? " PUN INTENDED.
We need pictures of this child and Freakin AS*%$& [smiley=Angry.gif]. We can hand them out at the Rodman Dam. I have a Black and white Laser printer I can print out about 100 copies and we can put them at the ATV Florida tent. Better yet If we can contact authoritys and get some better quality pictures all I have is the fuzzy pics from the article. Somebody Post and let me know I will print and bring to Rodman.
great idea . [smiley=Approve.gif]
i think that that is a great idea also
I'm outta here , see ya'll there .
26 HOURS REMAINING TILLI PULL OUT CANT WAIT!!
QuoteUh ,yes Ofiicer, We found the child that has been abducted. He was sitting in the woods and there happens to be a dead guy with him. Don't worry, I've got him tied behind my quad and I'll meet you at Rodman Dam. ;D
hmmmm ~ think they will say anything when they see 270 quad tracks over the body???? :-/ :-/
btw ~ IS IT TIME TO RIDE YET????????
I LOVE that idea Ida. Nothing better then helping out missing kids, not to mention getting to ride a little while we're at it. It would be really cool to see the authorities and us riders team up on that... would be better for both sides no doubt. There's always someone lost in the woods.. not to mention being taken there against thier will.
If it was to actually work out, we could dedicate a section of this site to that. Equipted with good photos from the authorities, information on where they are at, etc...
Hmmm... If we were to team up like that... would that mean we would get "Ride Anywhere Permits"?? We would have to, depending on where a search was being held.. Can you say Catch 22?? One that works for us this time though ;)
2 hours till I leave work and get gas before I run out of town.
ATP here I come.
Id@
I can tell ya this,,,,if we DID happen to find them, I'm headed for the first numbered road I find and burning up the road to go find help.

After beating ole Fritz to a pulp of course :D
I still like the "drag behind" method. Nothing like haulin butt down a numbered road with some lowlife child molester strapped to the back bumper! Hmmm.... it would be like therepy to some.
You guys are to kind. atv pulls is a better way to get even. guest were my rope will be attached ???? end of problem! maybe we can make fliers of Fretz for all the members. Budman you are the printer in the group.
Hey guy's there is wireless interness access here at Elite so bring your lap top .

I am having visions of the old school torture tactic involving four horses, one for each limb. WOW I bet it would work GREAT with quads tied to each limb.Who's going to drop the flag to say "GO".

QuoteGrizz do you have Nextel Service at Elite

Nextel will work in the parking lot if you hold your right hand up and left down and walk around and jump but the wireless internet works good Jerry

I got dibs on a leg! All I gotta say about the whole thing is he better hope the cops do find him cause if I do it ain't going to be pretty! "Yes officer we found the child but not sure what happened to the guy with him. He just disappeared." ;)
i Hear ya'. I got two little ones of my own and i would totally flip if something were to happen to them. So, ya, i want a limb too. Or how about attaching a 5th quad to another male organ. This guy better hope that the cops get him before we do... [smiley=Angry.gif]
BTW anyone heard from jjamesbar lately ???
We're ouuta here! Everyone drive safe and we'll see you there!
0k guys, Big D off to Rodman! going to try to do little riding today. if you see a white ram 1500 4 dr with a Blaster in the bed thats me. drive safe guys
im rolling see ya guys there cant wait
6:40am
and as george said " and out the door i went""
See ya there
Ok trying to stay with the group will call Salt Springs and Elite for availability. Would love a cabin, but I see all booked. We are bringing 2 bikes on a 16' trailer. Our first ride. Should be there about six. I am sure once there, we can figure things out. We can add to our trailer or do what ever is easiest. You guys know, yes we are the newbie's. :) :)
We will leave about 3:00 pm. Would love to leave sooner have to wait for kids to get out of school and drop off to the inlaws. Can hardly stan the wait.
See you all there,
Tim and Brenda

there is no telling how many showed up. i counted 105 trail riders at the old campground on the way to rodman. it was a great day with a group of really fine people. thanks to all that showed up. i got back to rodman gassed up and rode to the st. johns river and back with some friends i just happened to stumble across by my truck. we got back around 6:45 and everyone was gone. it was a good time today.

QuoteJust a thought, someone local, Ocala area, call the authorities and let them know where we are riding and we'll keep our eyes open. A little positive awareness with atv's.
it looks like someone did call the authorities ..... ON US!!
but it didnt work. WE SHOWED AND WE RODE!!!!!

Do tell

Long story short, they have read the website, I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with someone from the ranger's office trying to get a "permit" that we didn't know we needed till Friday and was told they needed 72-hour notice before the event and it wouldn't matter anyway because they were not going to approve any permits until the ONF access-plan was finalized.
final tally:
Close to 200 riders showed
total of 4 rangers
1 Florida Law Enforcement
1 Florida Highway Patrol Trooper
1 Florida Department of Environmental Protection "person"?
all in all, we didn't do anything wrong, we only had one person hurt(let us know how you are chuck), no major breakdowns that I noticed, and no major idjits(except for one that kept doing doughnuts in various quads on the paved road).
I think a good time was had by all.

Well you know you dont have to tell them its an "Event" you can just say its ironic how every 3 months 200+ people show up to rodman with atvflorida shirts and stickers... ;D
HAHAHA.... whats a coincidence (http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/blackeye/blabla.gif)

we could say that, but that would be dishonest and ruin the "relationship" we have with them right now.
plus, they read the website.

what we will have to do if a permit is not approved, is just split people into groups of 75 or less and go to different spots in the forest.
I think that would work. It's within the rules they stated to us clearly, very clearly. If I'm not wrong, I think that's just about how it ended up anyway. People in all directions, not all in one spot very long.
74 at delancy, 74 at eurika dam and 74 at rodman

This is the trails that Jjamesbar and the Grizz group rode on Rodman IV
thanks grizz for posting the route. i was wandering how our 2 groups came across each other. the other thing is if that trash pick up ride comes down there are dumpters on that rode marked 160th and also marked 31. its the road that runs just south of hog valley where the bears come out at night to check out the garbage. we could take the trash there and dump it.
jeff
I dont know if it's still there
I think they moved the dumpster because They were afaid that some one would get hurt from bears were pretty bold. and cool to see at dusk.

I'm a newb here, but why can't I see these maps? I am coming down the first week in Feb and would love to plan some routes.
maybe because the links that were referenced in this thread are about a year old and no longer good.
still not funny
Id@
Doooooohhhhh! I don't even know what year it is.
Anybody have any good trail maps or GPS routes?
