hi guys...in december at the school break, like christmas time im going down to my grandmas who lives in Sarasota (warm mineral springs) area. she has a lot of land but its not hers, its like all blocked off. anyway, if there is anywhere like 30 minutes or like at most an hour away from that area let me know. free or money it doesnt matter...im not a pro. so nothing huge. i dont suck so no pee-wee tracks plz lol thanks guys...Mike

What are you riding?  Sport or Ulility?  We ride in North Port alot, it's 45 minutes south of Sarasota.  Some say it sucks but our group has had no problems.  Otherwise the closest place is going to be Croom.  There are a few muddbogging events over New Years near Lake Okechobee if you've got a ute.  The Yucapan is a bit further south of North Port.  I haven't been there but alot of ppl ride there too.  Hope this helps.  I live in Sarasota and there isn't much to ride close.

i ride a 250ex...sport but i have a ttr125L as well so let me know. thanks man

hey bud I live in northport 5min from Warm Mineral Springs i ride utility sure Im sure we could get together..

wheres warm mineral springs? A riding spot?

no warm mineral springs is a old fart meeting ground on the edge of north port...

hahaaha yeah thats where my grandma and grandpa live....
so does anyone else know anywhere else to ride. maybe some jumps involved. nothing huge but something. alright thanks for all the replys so far.

Theres a track off a rode called Sirris around the corner from yorkshire.. Actually there is 3 tracks one is loaded with jumps and like six foot burms!

I could probably show ya or at least give ya directions..

ive rode at that track its pretty kool and theres some nice jumps.

anyone else know anything around the area...an hour or so further is alright but not like 2 hours cause thats just far. let me know of any riding areas at all, public or private within like an hour /hour and a half distance from sarasota. thanks guys, mike

Only riding area w/in an hour of Sarasota is North Port and it's small.  Croom is 1.5 - 2 hours, Yucapan is about the same.  Sorry man but there's very limited riding in this part of the state.

North Port is by no means small if ya now where your going!

It's small compared to where I ride.  When you look at the size of Holopaw, River Ranch, and Ocala, it makes North Port small.  I'm not knocking it by any means.  I enjoy riding there.  I do know my way around very well.  If you can tell me you can ride there an entire weekend and not ride the same trail twice then I need to ride w/ you out there.

I know your not knocking it, you are right compared to ocale and river ranch, there really isnt one..  But on my utility I can ride a full day without the same trail and if I go towards arcadia (SwiftMudd's) porperty I could go all weekend. Like ya said though  there is no comparison to ocala thats the place!

northports great. I just hope people on here arent stupid and go riding on the street. I'm always seeing people wheeling down the main rodes and its not cool.  STICK TO THE TRAILS!

was thinking we might try northport again this weekend.. are they still running people out.. or have they calmed down again

Lately if you stay off the streets, they are pretty good...we were there last weekend and had no problems...even saw a cop and he waved

that is because he thought you were cute

Mr Scary Cakes   son, damn right those boys are the reason the cops run us off!

lately no law problems, its perfect right now  waters dring up and making up some dang gone good mud!

im going out sunday...
