SPEED RIDE II september the 3rd

backinsaddle · August 23, 2005, 05:56:57 PM

gearhead, this is the route that I take from the south, although I think there is construction on 301 and 42 and the road may be closed???. (301 does lead to Hwy 44, but I keep going past that intersection):

1.   Exit right (North) onto ramp onto S Main St (HWY 301)
2.   Turn right onto Cr-42   10.5 mi
3.   Big Bass Entrance      15.8 mi

You can also take 301 and cut over Cr-466, NOT CR-466a (which is a few miles north of 44) to 27, head north on 27, and east on 42 (in case there is still construction on 42 and 301). Note you still have to drive from the entrance up the dirt road back in to Big Scrub, which isn't included in the travel time

Total is about 25 miles (maybe more like 1/2 hour than 20 minutes). The first map attached shows coming from the south.

Where specifically are you coming from? It looks like 44 comes from the west coast from HWY 19? If your coming from 44, I'd probably turn up 301 and follow the directions I gave you above. My mom & dad live about halfway between the 301 exit and Big Scrub, and they think that's the quickest route.

If you give me where your coming from, I can find out from mom & dad the best route, they're always traveling around up there

i live in citrus county ON hwy 44 lol. i go through inverness to wildwood, once i get past 75 i take a left at my second light all the way down to cr-42 and then to big bass of course. i think taking 75 to 42 will cut about 10-20 minutes off, i just need to make a trip so i know where im going. Dont want to be late on the 3rd lol. Thanks for the directions!!! =)

No problem on the directions. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Should be fun, I know I'm going to be near the front, as I'm tying a rope onto the back of dreth when he's not looking.

Is good to know that you'r back fully recover men, I went to Bartow Saturday night, I have to practice a lot on the mx, I feel confident in must of the jumps, but I have to work a lot, so I can get real air. Woods and Mx, are very different

I'm headining up sometime Friday from the Ft. Laud area. I'm trying to get out of work early and be on the road by 3:00 or 4:00. I'm staying with my parents though, which is about 20 minutes before the entrance to big scrub. I wouldn't get off at 40, that's further than you have to go. I posted directions for what I believe is the quickest route at the top of this page of the thread.

dreth · August 28, 2005, 09:50:21 PM

actually 40 is the fastest route due to the speeds that you can travel and the lack of stop and go situations.

TRX450R_RACER im leaving my house at 5am! taking I95 to 40 west to forest rd 588 and go left for like 8 miles and your there! it takes me 3hrs exactly at 82 mph on 95 and 70 mph on 40. im in st.lucie county.

pm me for my # if you want to talk

dreth · August 28, 2005, 09:55:10 PM
