takedaniels road east past 75 like your going towards the airport. Make a right on 82. there are 2 spots out there I know of. One you keep heading down 82 until you come to parkdale(i think) or jaquar lake road make a left and find a place to park. there is a ton of riding there. OR you can take 82 to sunshine blvd. Sunshine is before the two roads above. keep going on sunshine until you come to a HANDY gas station. I thinks it's the first light. Go thru that light continuing on sunshine until you see the road OLIVE make a left. Go do a few streets and make a right. There is a porta- potty there. Just find a place to park and enjoy. I like the sunshine spot better then the first. I went camping out there friday night. It was a blast. NO rain after 730 and we had the whole place to ourselves for the night. We did some night riding as well. Oh ya the potra-potty was clean I couldn't believe it

. Plus there is a 24 hr walmart right there and a shop called la cycles that opens up at 9 am on sat if you need them. I had a flat tire fri. night and went to walmart for slime. it didn't work so in the moring went to la cycles and they had a replacement.. WHAT A BLESSING!!!!

if you look around on the map and use the zoom you can find olive rd. the closet main intersection is lee rd and sunshine blvd. After the big curve on sunshine olive is like the 2nd or 3rd street. That whole area you can ride. there are some streets made but there isn't any houses. Some do have the street sign on the corner.

Be careful riding in Leigh Acers area off SR 82. Most of this land is being bought up and the COPS are now running people off. They have been out there with their ATV's, trucks and copper stopping people. Also there is a new mud hole in palm dale and its way better then felda. Its off US 27 just north of SR 29. Its called C & R motor sports.

thats why the sunshine blvd location is better. I noticed when riding off of 82 and jaqur lake there are more houses being built then last year.

If anyone is checking out the Olive Road area this weekend, let us know and we could meet up. It's a little closer than Burnt Store although that's fun too.

Where is the burnt store riding area? Thanks...also, is this burnt store area safe from law enforcement people chasing you down???

prnstar123 · March 02, 2005, 01:26:41 PM

burnt store road basicly connects cape coral to port charlotte. It start in the north west part of cape coral and heads north. The link is an arial shot of the area. the main raod in the middle is burnt store rd. I believe they ride in the north west area of the photo. you cane click on the arrows and move the pic area to different areas . Hope this will help.

Here is sunshine and olive , everything to the north is riding area. You can see it's mostly grass. even though there are streets they are not paved and nobody lives there. Just alot of land.

prnstar123...thanks for all the info - huge help. When you went riding out at the sunshine/olive area - did the police hassle anyone out there - or do they just turn their heads??? Thanks for the continued help and info.
