This better be a BIG turnout of People or the obvious will be not to spend the money for this project. I would tell everyone that rides if I lived around there.  I hope this happens :ThumbsUp.gif <nanaparty> :}} Try posting on thumpertalk.com   Too  :H

it is on old phosphate mined property I believe since that is all that is south of Mulberry. I live 30mins away so I hope it happens. SHould be some outstanding sand pits and hill climbs in those areas.

[SMP63]

i was thinking the same greenmachine. it will be nice if its got some wet areas too! another legal place to ride will be awsome, hopefully it will be open thru the week to enjoy also <nanaparty>

The meeting was good, had almost 40 people present.  We shall see if they are able to get the grant to get it going.  I thought there would have been more there to support it.  The proposed site is close to the old sand mountain, at least on the same road CR 630 2.5 miles east of HWY 37

40 is a good number. I've heard of only one or two coming to the Ocala meetings in that past. Thanks for the update.

40 is a decent turnout for sure.
