Title: West Palm Beach riders?
Post by: DaKota on November 02, 2004, 12:23:32 PM
Im looking for some new trails to ride on around west palm area. I know a few trails 1 on the turnpike around ockeechobee blvd u can see it from the turnpike, there is one off southern and 441, there is one near palm beach central high school. Any other trails withn 50 miles of west palm let me know im looking for new areas. Also when i drive down 95 towards boca i see lots of trails im not sure how to get back there to them though.

Hey whats up. The trails at okee and the turnpike they were handing out warnings there and sunday I saw an officer out there next to a f250 with a trailer so maybe he got a warning. Southern and 441 is that by the ford dealer. I thought that was getting run out. Haven't been there in 3yrs after i got warned. The one by glades rd and 95 i see also but don't know how to get there either. By the school never heard about that one so can't help you there sorry. I've gone down to the humps in Florida City with some members here. I go to River Ranch a lot. Most of the trails I use to go to aren't there anymore.

Ya ill help you out my friend knows the directions but the 441 and southern we always go back there cause there is a rope swing, no 1 is ever there just park in the woods tons of trails through there. You ever ride out on 20mile ben?

Post by: 02YamahaBigBear400 on November 03, 2004, 08:50:44 AM
no never rode out at the 20 mile bend. Is the place on southern by the ford dealer or is it the back way to banyan estates in between southern and forsest hill. I know that place closed down.

Post by: DaKota on November 03, 2004, 05:57:20 PM
its near the cemetary dont go back there alone though cause i know mostly everyone out there and if you drive by the rope swing rednecks will stop you so if you do wanna go out there sometime let me know.


Title: Re: West Palm Beach riders?
Post by: DaKota on November 03, 2004, 06:00:39 PM
also 20mile ben is probably the best place to ride its tons and tons of open dirt roads and feilds, mud pits. There is no houses or nothing out there so you wont have any problem with cops or wild life control.

Where do you leave your trucks out at 20 mile bend, does anybody ever mess with you riding out there.  What about the place off of southern by the cemetary?


Title: Re: West Palm Beach riders?
Post by: DaKota on November 03, 2004, 08:51:55 PM
Its kinda hard to explain but we leave our trucks out in a field you cant really see them but yea we never are messed with out there by any officer. if you enter the cemetary and go to the back of it you will see the paved road go's off to dirt and grass follow it right then left back into the woods find a spot to park beware houses are around so you might hear from cops.

Palm Beach is a tough market for finding places to ride..

Please stay away from the place out there on Belvedere and Jog.. I did call the owner of the property and it has been sold to a developer that plans to build condos there...The FL Wildlife police are giving out warnings and such..

Here's this place out on Ocheechobee Blvd??

Yes follow southern blvd west past seminole prat keep going till southern starts to have a big bend in it right before southern starts headed north west turn left onto 20mile bend there is tons of dirt roads and sugar cane fields to ride on I dont know what that other dude said about a little lap that takes 30secs you can ride for miles on the dirt roads and through the surger cane fields. Its up to you where you wanna park if you see a nice place park there and ride.

Thanks for the info.

I read that there's a cemetary that you can enter and go to the back of ....Is that at 20 mile bend??

So I guess you can just ride on the roads out there??

Are there any trails or jumps or anything like that??

tvman


Title: Re: West Palm Beach riders?
Post by: DaKota on November 09, 2004, 12:03:32 PM
No its not at 20 mile bend its about maybe a mile on the right when you turn off 441 onto southern its on the right hand side you enter the cemetary and head towards the back where the road ends its out in the woods but becarful because there is houses there so you might hear from cops. but 20mile bend is great place to ride turns of roads and trails through the surger cane fields.

Dakota:

Sombody else wrote that 20 mile bend only had a 30-second long track and not much else..

Is that true or have you been there??

I have a 12 year-old son that loves to ride trails and stuff...Is there enough there for a day of fun and riding??

you should of said something about bring your  kid,,  if you have a kid he prob. would like it but the track will be alittle dangerous if he is not comfortable with small hills. plus there are alot of canals that run along side of the dirt roads.. but I thought you where talking about adult riding...sry. it's kid aproved...:)


Title: Re: West Palm Beach riders?
Post by: DaKota on November 12, 2004, 08:48:54 PM
cdale is this the track thats hidden somewhere on 20milebend cause me and my friends heard there is jumps and crap back there but can never find the entrance to it.

Anyone want to go riding in the west palm area let me know. We could try the areas suggested. I have ridden years ago off southern and at twenty mile bend. I did not know of any track area. The area at forest hill and turnpike is too small. It is good for  kids though. I also have two kids that like to ride. I noticed some kids mentioned. customrubicon@yahoo.com   561-541-0996 Tony

Post by: cdalepaul on November 14, 2004, 05:33:47 PM
take southern west PAST lion country safari for about 2 miles you will see a blinking yellow light go past the intersection then take your first u turn lane left . which goes into the caine fields. you will see the little track on the left by the bridge there are really no jumps just little bumps in the track.
BTW plz don't ride on the highways with your bike have respect for the others who don't have a place to ride..thx


Title: Re: West Palm Beach riders?
Post by: DaKota on November 14, 2004, 06:53:54 PM
Na we know not to go riding around out on highways and crap we try to stay outa site. Today we went back into these woods that have trails it was at least a foot deep with water and plowed all through there. Friend on his CR 250 worked me with mud got out infront of me and let loose, I went from dry to soke in 1 sec with nasty black mud.

I like MUD sometimes, but that looks very wet. Too much water for a sport ATV?  IS there any sand riding?

Boca are may be closed...

The riding spot between Yamato and Glades may be  off limits. Does anyone have any info.
I drove up there yesterday and went to my normal parking place across the street, but the lot is being cleared for houses! I still parked, unloaded and drove over to the riding area. It was great, but I was very nervous, because I did not see any tracks of Quads or dirtbikes. Usually there are  lots of tracks, but no one seemed to be around..like it was off limits.. I didn't ride long and left.
Any Info? The spot is  off I-95 and Yamato.

Plans are as of right now. Meeting at Lake Worth road and the Turnpike (Holiday Inn) between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. We should be at the humps between 9:30 and 10:00. I will let someone from down there give you directions to the humps. I have never been there. Tony

Post by: 02YamahaBigBear400 on November 27, 2004, 08:53:54 AM
When we get to the humps where does everyone want to meet. Is the fire pit area alright. As of now it will be just me and customrubicon heading down there so anyone wanting to join us and guide us a bit we should get there about 10 so no later then 10:30 we should be at the fire pit area.
