Post by: bigwili on February 04, 2005, 07:47:26 AM
is there anything i need to know about ocala riding before i go for a 1 day trip? permits? or fees? i know bikes are getting stolen but do they steal stuff from your vehicles parked during the day?

Try to stay off the numbered roads, don't ride at nite and keep your trailer locked onto your vehicle. Other than that, there are lots of trails so have fun.

You need the following..
A quad..
food
water
air
AND A BRAIN.. ;D
Just kiddin I have never had anything stolen and they are right you must have a GPS or you will get very lost. IT is a more sport quad orineted area but there are trails with lots of mud. A coupple big sand pits and some REALLY VRETICLE HILL CLIMBS... (do not attempt one with a 250 utility.. or for that matter any utility) Just stay off the numbered roads. You can cross them just to get to a trail to the other side but only STRAIGHT ACCROSS! :o If you ride down it like another car would then when you get busted then you are in some serious dodo. And that feeds fuel to the fire that wants to take every single riding place from us. It is a good place though.. I think it is free. I never pay to get in anywhere... But if you go to the main gate then you might have to if there is even a main gate.???

is it ok to park under the power lines near big scrub and then ride on the side of the road?
