MadMudder · January 15, 2005, 07:00:14 PM

Is there any good riding places around jacksonville? The land behind my house just became under new ownership and the guy is a real

ya know.. He doesn't like ATVs and we need a new place to ride arount the jax area. We ride in ocalla national forest but that is just to far away to ride all the time. Any suggestions?

Ther is a nice place out in Interlockin, BIGWORM and I go there sometimes, but it is still a ways out. Not to far for me as I live in OP. It is a fun place not very big though.

Not really any places left unless you know someone with private land every place we used to ride now has housing developments. About the closest places are Osceola, Ocala/Rodman and Jasper. There is Hilliard but it pretty much blows IMO. Rodman is only an hour for me so I don't mind there and Osceola is only about 45 min.

If you are willing to ride Ocala, then the drive to 5A (Scottsmore) should be with in reach. Depending on where you are at in Jax you should be able to get there in 1 1/2. Its only 15-20 min south of Daytona. Just inside the Brevard County line.
But if you have a little 2wd quad you may want to wait for it to dry up a bit.

LITTLE 2wd quad

If it is muddy then my LITTLE 250 will hang with your honda and my dads sp500. On a different note where exatcly is this place at and is it muddy? Thats what we like to ride.

Truegrit · January 18, 2005, 05:58:41 PM

No offense meant. By 2wd quad I meant race type quads (Banshee/Raptor type) with a chain that will spend most of the ride underwater, being destroyed by the sand in the water.
It is right off I95, behind the old burned down Dairy Queen.
Just south of the Volusia county line.
There are pics of it on this site search under 5A. (5A is the county road that intersects the interstate)

where is this spot in interlachen i live in melrose and that is very close! any info would be nice thanx roclord1@aol.com i know of a spot in florahome only few miles from interlachen has big mud hole and sand pit hill lets hook up and ride!!

jbbj220 · January 19, 2005, 12:32:27 PM

A Chevron staition on 315C, across 315C is a dirt road that goes by the ball fields. Take that road about 2 miles and pit and rideing area is on the right.

I know this is not to clear but is you look me up on Sat. at Rodman I will try to do better. Or maybe BIGWORM can do better.

rvman · January 19, 2005, 02:15:50 PM

jbbj220 · January 19, 2005, 02:21:41 PM

Look for a white Expidetion pulling a 2 axle trailer with a Blaster on the front then a yellow and gray Warrior and a black and white Warrior, and last a Banshee. Will be glad to give you directions to get there to ride. Might even join you. As it is a good place for a short day ride. [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]

Jim,

MadMudder · February 04, 2005, 07:02:39 PM

Seabee · February 04, 2005, 07:09:13 PM

Have a few decent places to ride up here in St.Marys and Kingsland especially if you like to get muddy. PM me for directions.

rampage45 · February 05, 2005, 09:44:18 AM

the pace is leagal as far as i am aware of no one or no body bothers us and mud is the majority of it lol it is good an muddy

MadMudder · February 05, 2005, 04:24:06 PM

How muddy is it? Is it like 4x4 only or is it 2x4 and 4x4? I don't want to show up and get stuck every 5 minutes...

rampage45 · February 06, 2005, 05:08:27 AM

no i drive a 2 wd s10 so you will not get stuck all the time im going to try and get back out there today sunday later

MadMudder · February 06, 2005, 08:29:35 AM

Yea we might be heading out there also. But i ment about getting stuck on my quad all the time. I didn't mean the truck thing. We have a silverado1500 4x4 so that shouldn't be a problem.

We should be out there some time this afternoon.

rampage45 · February 06, 2005, 08:43:18 AM

no the quads wont get suck i ride a home built gokart and well when i get stuck well that is due to the reason i go where i shouldnt or that i get way off the trail anyways i am going to leave around 1200 or so but i will be in a red s-10 my name is mike maybe i will see you out there later

MadMudder · February 06, 2005, 09:59:49 AM

Good. We won't be leaving untill 1:00 or so. Thanks and we will try to find a home made go-kart.

MadMudder · February 06, 2005, 03:21:32 PM

I must have a gigant black cloud following me around.

We pull up there and there is a Red dodge ram, a blue expidition and something else stting there and there is a guy on a polaris phonex trying to get it to start. We roll down the window and say hi and he says that we just missed the cops. 15MINUTES BEFORE WE GOT THERE A COP CAME BY AND RAN EVERYBODY OFF!!!! [smiley=Angry.gif]

We had drove 2 hours for absloutley nothing...

We just stood there in shock. So we said by and left. We did find somewhere to ride though. They said that they were gonna go get a writtin permit form the land owner and i was wondering who he was so we could be able to ride there...

rampage45 · February 06, 2005, 04:09:08 PM

well it is weird that guy said that because he was there since aroung 1100 or so and well i left around 1 or so cause i ripped the fron end off again and well i dont think the cops will run any one off because one of the guys that rides out there is an orange park police or clay county police but he said till the start to build the walmart there that he dont see why we can not ride there and well as long as we keep it clean but then again there was a bunch of big 4wd out there tearing it up so maybe they were there to run them out lol well anyways sorry about that didnt mean to have you drive all the way out and nothing but i will be out there again next weekend both sat and sun i will go there untill they put no trespassing signs up and so fourth .

MadMudder · February 06, 2005, 08:14:22 PM

So would it be worth it to drive out there again? I don't want to get run off again. Mabye if those big fat 4wds arent out there tearing it up and attracting attenion then the cops won't care. It is funny though my dad has a big 500 4x4.

Anyway we might try it again this weekend. More that likley saturday. What i don't under stand it that if the property is privatly owned then why would the cops be able to say anything??? Or did the land owner get PI

:-Xed off and say to kick everybody out? Anyway like i said we might try it again but this time i want to show up the same time you do so that we don't get lost
