ATV Florida Forum

I Just Returned From Tate's Hell. It Is A Long Drive From Pinellas However For The Riding Options That We Have In FLA , I Think It Was Worth It And I Will Return There. It Has No Tight Trails Through The Woods, It Is Lime Rock Forest Roads And Truck And Jeep Trails. No Elevation Changes Or Jumps. Not A Lot Of Challenges. I Had My 7 Year Old, He Had A Lot Of Fun And Another Rider That Is A Inexperienced Rider So The Lack Of Challenges Made For A Relaxing 4 Days Of Riding. There Is A lot Of Area To Ride, 2 Nice Primitive Camps. Got To View A Lot Of Wild Life. Reminds Me Of Ocala 15 Years Ago

Thanks for the feedback.  Have you been to the motoplex yet?  It'd be interesting to hear your comparison of the two areas.  The next group ride will be Nov 30th.

Have Not Done Motoplex Yet. I Hope To. If I Can Get Info I Will Do Osceola Nat Forest Next.

cool.  it'd be interesting to have the option of someone who's rode all 3.  i haven't been to the other 2 but i'm quite partial to the plex.  knowing that paul takes all our advice and makes changes to have an area for all riders and all different styles.
