Moving to Florida!!
«

March 06, 2006, 07:20:26 PM »
Hello all!
I am moving to Fort Myers area from Phoenix. I will be there in April, and my wife and 3 teenagers will be there in July. My riding preferences are:
1. Sand Dunes
2. Sand Hills
3. Sand Flats
4. Dirty Sand
5. Sandy Dirt
6. Dirt Trails
7. Mud Trails
8. At this point anything goes.
9. I live to ride... period...
We are as a family avid Glamis Duners, and trail riders, but are willing to try anything once.
I just want to introduce myself, and look to get out there and meet some of you folks to go riding with. I'll post some bike pics in the photo gallery.

Well Florida aint got nothing compared to the west coast. But we have a lot of MX tracks, and few places to play in the mud. Might want to sell those paddle tires.

the above is correct, sell them paddle tires you won't need them at all here except for drag racing.
plenty of trail riding in Ocala National Forest, but as far as dunes go,,,,good luck finding them.

so many trying to get in and i wish icould get out.
Well if you havn't heard, the market went to S$&T in the last few months. Went from Sellers market with an inventory of 6000 houses to 20K buyers. Now role reversed 30k houses with 6k buyers. Now sell a house--->take a loss. I am having a hell of a time selling, even with discount and I live on a lake, that's right a Lake home in one of the nicest suburbs (Chandler) 15min from Sky Harbor, and Downtown Phoenix. Trust me, Phoenix is no Gem. Plus do you realize how hot it gets here. Ever hear the joke "it's a dry heat"? People are being sarcastic JULY and AUGUST 105 to 110 deg with major humidity. Burn your tail end like a cat jumped into a BBQ.
Lets not get into the depressed JOB MARKET. I have 15years experience plus a Degree in Information Technology, and don't get calls. Everyone moved here, and now they pay much less, and the market is flooded.
I'M OUTTA HERE See you in April!!!!

Why does Florida Suck?
I am going back to work as a Project Manager for a large contractor.
I don't understand what all the hub-bub is about?
Trust Me when I say Phoenix Sucks A$$. The only plus for me, is I am 4 1/2 hours from Glamis. It gets so hot here, you cannot even touch your steering wheel. I guess it is all realitive to where you have been. I am sick of the desert, and need some green, and grass in my life.

If Florida sucks then why are all of you people still here. You can move just like everyone else. I would not live anywhere but here. Get off of it or get out of it.

I appreciate all of your input.
Here are some other interesting facts about Phoenix. I have to drive 1 to 1 1/2 hours just to get to riding areas that are overcrowded with a bunch of careless a-holes who trash the area, are loud, obnoxious, and rude towards others. You also have these riding choices.. Desert, and then Desert, and then oh yea Desert. Also our comfort zone riding season only lasts from November to the end of March. Other than that it is way too hot to ride for more than a hour without overheating yourself or your machine. I am not real fond of the desert after spending 6 hours in the emergency room to pull the cactus out of my 14yo sons butt, side, arms and back. My wife had a rollover spill and got punctured nicely on her leg. It is really like running the gauntlet when riding here.
Glamis is another story, it is my mecca. I'll be there for 5 days next week. We call it Mother G for a reason. Glamis is the most incredible riding on the plant. It usually only takes one trip to get hooked. My screenname says it all.
Here are the ingredients for Glamis. Banshee+Sand Dunes+ JagerBombers+some place to sleep+some food once in a while.
I will miss them, but will only be in florida for 2years. I am moving to Texas after that. There is Little Sahara in Ok that will quench my thirst.

My office is off Alico Rd. We'll move somewhere in the area. I was wondering if you folks could clue me in to what area has the best high schools. I'll have 2 in High School soon, and one 8th grader.

I think your kids will be going to estero highschool. You'rre only like 30 minutes from me. The only bad thing is I think you're kinda close to the airport.
