Any UTV/ATV riders in Tampa Bay FL area?

[Prowler74]

I live in Dade City FL.  I've had my Arctic Cat Prowler XTZ for a while now.  I ride mostly on my property and in pastures with the wife and kids but Im looking for people to ride with in my area.  

The only place I have been with my SxS is Ocala National Forest and it was ok but nothing special imo.  

Looking at going to places around central Fl to ride.

I grew up on atv's riding in Croom but since I have a SxS now I can't ride there.

So let me know if you are interested in meeting up for a ride and have some experience with some of the parks around here. I appreciate it!

Dirty Foot Adventures allows SxS and all most all the trails are wide enough to run you SxS.  Check them out at http://www.dirtyfootadventures.com/ .

For a Google Earth Map that shows the trails download it here http://www.dirtyfootadventures.com/map/

They look like a lot of fun I ride quads but I see a ton of them out at Rancho, just east of Z-Hills on SR54.

I'm in lakeland and have been looking to find someone to ride with. I have a Sport ATV but would be down for meeting up to ride. New to the area so can't help with locations, but have been interested in checking out Dirty Foot.

Welcome to the forum Prowler74 & Kevchil! I'll let you both know the next time i go ride.
Maybe we can meet up!! Really looking forward to riding in North Florida this weekend.

[Prowler74]

Hey guys thanks or the welcome.

I've been to Rancho before but there are some hooligans out there sometimes that can spoil ur day for sure.  DirtyFoot Def needs to be in my riding future.  I plan on bringing my wife along, hence the SXS. 

Wished croom riding was open to SxS's i miss it there.

We usually get around 15 or so of them every weekend....  here are a few from just one group

[Prowler74]

Well im definately coming to see you guys in DirtyFoot soon!

How's it been going Prowler? I have posted a few times about going to Ocala but got no responce from anybody.  My son is wanting to go for a ride this weekend & I was thinking of going to 5A-Scottsmoore.  Would you & the family like to ride with us. Your more than welcome to follow us over. We could meet up @ CR54 & HWY98!!! Send me a PM or post up here & we can work out plan!!!!!!!!!!

[kevchil]

I would love to go but booked this weekend. Hit me up the next time and hopefully I'll be able to go.

[Prowler74]

sorry for the lack of repsonse.  i dont check this forum as often as i do others i guess.  I dont know anything about 5A or even where it is.  I see ur in Z-hills so you are close to me. I grew up in Z-Hills and now live in Dade City, San Antonio.

Another guy is looking at going to Delancy in Ocala.  I have been there its nice, legal and no holligans lol.  I think hes camoing there with his wife and son.  But i would just go for the day.

Ill send you a PM.

I'm in winter haven and just got done riding at RR this weekend, went about 45 miles. it was great for being my first time out there, found some mud spots but it is very dry. its not the wet season but...... i'm always looking for someone to go riding with, whether it be mud or trails, just looking to have fun. my wife rides with me and we are pretty laid back. PM me if you guys want to get together one weekend and go somewhere, i dont like riding by ourselves cause of the thought of breaking down 15 miles away from camp.

[Prowler74]

I have never been to RR. Definately want to go soon before its starts getting HOT.  My wife and I are laid back too. We would leaves the kids home, they are very young.  Do you have friends with property at RR?  Or do you have a plot?

a good buddy has a few deeds his grandfather bought ummteen years ago. we said last week, lets go out there and he was like, i havent been out there in 15 years. so we paid up the dues and went. it was great, very clean, friendly people, we primarily rode sun cause we got there so late on sat. only saw maybe 15 atvs for the 45 milesish that we went on. i cant wait to go back out there.


no....i dont want to bug him about selling his(part off) land. his grandfather past and gave him, his uncle and his father all the properties he accumulated over the years and he holds it quite dear to him. he wont sell it. not trying to sound like a jerk but could see people reading this and asking if he'll sell it. i wont ask him to sell me a piece of it, even.

dues were around 135, i believe its yearly. that covers deed owners, wife and kids, also covers 1 atv(SxS, mud truck, etc) per person. any more and its 20 per atv and you have to get a guest pass (also covers wife of guest and kids) at 13 each pass. allowed 2 passes total. no dirt bikes and they have a burn ban in effect. alot of riding and they have some canals that are fun to ride through when the water is low like this.
