Just getting started riding and have know clue where to go. I am in Lakeland. Are there some nice places to go,ride,and camp out? thanks for the help all,Ali
What kind of bike do you have and what kind of riding do you like ??
Explore this website. Most are on here. The Pumpkin Run near Daytona is comming up soon. That would be a good starter for you.
Croom, Scottsmore, Grant, Lakeland, Holeylands, Ocala National Forest, are just a few.
haha..dont go to holylands if you live in lakeland..it would be the biggest waste of a trip from where you live..unless you have a reason to be down here
Honda Rancher 350 ES 06, I have heard alot about croom. Is that a good place for a newbie?
croom is good, there are a lot of whoops out there, but if you stay away from the parking areas or fence then the trails smooth out, one nice thing about croom is that there is a fence going around the whole place so all you have to do is head one direction, find a fence and then follow it back if you think you are lost, croom also has a place for all skill levels and different terrain(hills,mud,trails)
lol ok I love the whole drive till ya get stopped by a fence then turn around!!! I think I can do that...is it a fun place to camp also? ;)
i haven't camped there yet due to not having the time but hope to soon because it would be nice to not have to make the drive home after a long day of riding, the campground is nice and i have rode from sun up to sun down out there with some people that have camped and it was fun
Ali i think the best place to ride if your going in a group is rodman dam. Its easy to get there from elite resorts cuz there you can rent a cabin for the weekend then drive about a mile to rodman dam and ride all day long with ATV Florida members. Ive been there twice with my lil girl and both time we had a great time. the cabins at elite resorts are clean and have a full kitchen. look it up. im trying to set up a group ride sometime in jan.

Manny, you being out of it for a while, Elite Resort doesn't rent cabin any more and Rodam pit is closed to ATVs.

Any one have info on the Pumpkin Run...Never heard of it.
Been there done that. Actually won 2nd one year. It was fun but has gotten huge. Last time I went it was dam near impossible to hook up and camp w/ friends unless you all got there together. Several of my friends had their trucks hit and their bikes hit by ppl moving trailers. I decided that for the expense, all you get to really ride is a 20 mile trail for a few hrs, I can split a trip to D-town for the same it would cost me to go to the P-run. Or I could go to my place and ride 24/7 for as many days as I want and have A/C, showers, cooking facilities, and never hit the same trail twice.
However, if you want info you can look up the apollo motorcycle club. That is who hosts the event.
Here is the web site check it 8) :)

Went to it for 20 years straight and it has got huge like QT314 said then they told me I could not ride my three wheeler so I had to stop going have not been in 4 years but have friends that still go now I got a ranger and I am still not going won it I think three times 2nd a couple and a third once 2nd with a flat tire and my wife on the back doing the buddy class that was fun cut a hole in the side wall with a stump about the first mile of the race but got 2nd its fun but it can get ruff and muddy look out for nincompoop's LOL later.
you know the Pumpkin run is held about 15 miles from my house in Deltona,,,,,that has a pool ;-)
oh what fun it would be to go get nasty muddy, then just dive in the pool.
is the pumpkin run OK with a sport like mine?
I don't think my Rubicon would be ready, and I know Mokas runs in the Pumpkin every year because he lives practically across the street, and runs it with a Blaster, but that means nothing to me,,,,he'll go anywhere with a Blaster.
