Not Rancho but here in Hudson. And it has only gotten this bad since Rancho got shut down this last time. And you would lose that bet Pepito. It is from the weekend riders that are NOT local. The locals don't trailer in and park. Actually the majority of the people that park and ride come in with Pinellas county plates. It doesn't really matter where they come from other than outsiders tend to be a lot less respectful when riding away from home. ENJOY IT DON'T DESTROY IT!

It doesn't matter where you come from, if you brought it in take it out with you!!!

what program are you using for editing the videos?

Great video merl but I was expecting you to roll it again at the 1:00 mark lol!

when you driving in the place look to your left (all behind the heli pad) when your passing the pavillion and the bathrooms on the right before you get to the campground.

Gearing is only gonna get you one or the other ( speed or power ) 

One tooth on the front is equall to about 4 teeth on the rear.

if he isn't maxing the r's out in 5th gear the majority of the time I would say drop down one in the front, If he is riding most of the time pinned out in 5th then I would go up in the front one tooth!

croom is always great, just didn't want you to expect a dustless weekend, Enjoy and watch for them moving trees

I dont think those showers are gonna keep the dust down that much.

I was there this sat and talked to the ranger, he said  everything is inline for them to reopen 7 days a week but as to exactly when it was gonna go into effect he did not know.

I have never had a problem getting my permit for my quads. I have an enclosed trailer and they have never even asked me to open the doors. Only thing I have ever had to show them was my Vin Numbers and my rivers license.   

normally I don't stop at the gate just wave as I go by, not now they stop you and verify you have your stickers now, when I was there not to long ago waiting for someone to get there sticker, some guy came thru with and enclosed and they made him open it up so they could see the stickers.

Actually it's a privately owned RV park!!!

Dam yuppies, I'm suprised they don't have there own trails to so they don't have to deal with the normal people on the trails lolol

at the very north end of the trail system, and has it's own access to the trails.  Very nice facilites.  I just stayed there this past weekend.

No tents & they just started to allow popup campers!!!!

Wow they must be a HIGH class campground lol

That is SO awesome of you!!!


I enjoy riding with my lil girl, just went to croom today with her!!!

Wow Yellow RR those videos bring back some old memories, I grew up ridin those powerlines on the south end of Broward County back in the late 80's, Thanks for sharring!

Do both trails have a speed limit? what is the length of each trail?
Thanks!!

I've never had a problem with not havin the  green sticker on the bike!

I've had a few gents tell me there's some good stuff to ride just north of Hernando town, where the road splits take the left fork and it's up there by perhaps a mile.

My question is, being a british expat is it legal?

Does my bike need the wee yellow sticker? I know there's croom nearby but the $65 a year is a little offputting before I've tested my bike etc.

Thoughts?

croom stickers are only 40.00 now ( i believe )  they are 60.00 in july and go down every 1/4 of a year!!

there are alot of nice truck/jeep crusing trails thruout the withalacooce forest

there are 2 diffrent parts of croom, the one you hear about most is the motorcycle/atv section and then there is the forest part where the vehicles have to have a licence plate to ride there


here is a map explaining more

is anyone ever gonna groom some parts of croom, its all whoops so not much speed can be achieved, and sometimes its just not any fun its very bumpy..thnx

I was there 2 weeks ago and was runnin 5th wide open on some of the groomed trails!!!!!

I was on several of the lettered trails: A, T, Q, R that I remember for sure.  Whoops so bad you would need a bull dozer to flatten them.  I honestly like the trails at Dirty Foot Mud Ranch much better.  I'll still go up to croom during the week when Dirty Foot is closed but I'll stick to the very back where the technical trails through the mining pits are, and maybe on my way out stop at the front pit just to get some air under the tires.

go to the lettered trails north of the back pavilion. (north of the mines)

they are grooming all the lettered trails. The A trail only takes a few days to get whooped up again. Most of all the trails in the north end are flat and and some can run 5th pinned out!!!!!

Was there still a old bronco stuck out in the back with the rear tire up in the air off the ground?

I was there yesterday and I had a blast. Everyone was really friendaly and it is HUGE.  I rode witha rew people that live out there and this is what they tolf me:

   It was supposed to be a neighborhood/subdivision. They started tearing down the forest (the unfinished roads are what's left) and they found an endangered turtle species and they were forced to stop construction.

I loved it out there.  lost of trails, mud pits, open areas.  There are places to ride alone  or with people. HUUUGE

I am goign this weekend agian if anyone wants to join

I don't think its really a priority, as they say in the workshop that it is a long time problem area and that at that point they don't have any solutions. But it is something that they are aware of. With all the budget cuts I'm sure their level of priority for rancho has dropped drasticly! They also state that they cant really tresspass anybody because they don't know whos land is whos because there is not many of the propterties that have been surveyed!!!

This is a GREAT find.....  I think everyone needs to watch it!!!  yes it is extremely long but you really need to watch this

yeah its deff long!! the web is a great place. I will have to see if I can find any newer workshops on this place.
