Had a great time Saturday. Met some very nice people (Smp, his wife & Zephyr) thanks again.


And as for Rancho although dry it was still fun. Very quiet as Smp mentioned b4 so don't be discouraged to come on out next time he offers. I look forward to heading back soon...

Sounds like you all had a blast.

Hopefully next time I can make it. Still have some quads to tune before I do any long rides though.

What's up guys, how is the riding out there? I've been riding there for 8 years.. But I havent been there for 6 months or more. The cops were showing up when the damn thugs with the banshees from Tampa were racing on the street.  I ride the tecate 3wheelers and cr500 powered atc250R.
I hope to ride out there soon. You know... theres not many places to ride in central FL.

We had a Lot Owners Association meeting there this morning & the President of the Association has been working closely with the Polk County Sheriff's.  It has been noticed that traffic is picking back up again since the last crack down, illegal & wastefull killing of wildlife is starting again so the Sheriff, Florida Fish & Game have agreed to start patrolling Rancho again.   
Just thought I would warn those that like to go out there & ride!!!!!!!! If your not a deed owner or guest of a deed owner & the Law catches you, good luck to ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a good thing! It was always trouble out there. We had 3 trucks out there the day after christmas one year that had 15 out of 16 tires slashed....Luckily they didn't slash the tires on the trailers also.

However I need to find some property out there, if you know how to buy some or someone wanting to sell let me know.
