Anyone know if it's okay to ride at 137th Ave & SW 8th Street in Miami? I have noticed that a lot of people have been riding there lately but don't really know if the cops hassle you or not.
Want to go tomorrow 6-4-11. Any comments would be appreicated.
Thanks!!

The ride was awesome. We went in at 137th and 8th street and ended up at NW 41 street and 140 ave. Then we came back. When you go in at 137th and 8th you need to stay inside the trees and stay off the road that runs parallel to 8th street because people can see you if you ride the street parallel to 8th street. I also discoverd that people are riding at the end of NW 41st. There is a lot of parking there and the trails were pretty awesome. I am not 100% sure how to get there but i think you just head down NW 41street until the end. You can try putting 13850 NW 41 street in your car gps(which i think is the addresss of the jail that's out there) and then go past the jail untill the end. either place you choose is pretty good.

pepito113 do you have a 4x4 or a sport bike? you can ride either at these two places now but during raining season you may have trouble in some of these areas.

Big fire out in that area today. Hope no ATVs were responsible.... they'll probably get blamed regardless. Fox news interviewed a couple atv riders that were in the area when the fire started.

Was out in that general area on Saturday and then on Sunday this huge fire starts. I hope they don't shut down that area. It's an awesome area to ride. I heard the local Miami news tonight and they said that it could have been someone who threw a cigarette out the window or an ATV'er. I am sure we will get the ultimate blame.  |

The media on channel 7 last night said the exhaust on atvs were the cause of the fires off chrome ave. This is not good for our sport
moore bad press

Fox News is now directly blaming ATVs for this fire and have warned ATVers not to go to this area anymore. This was a fun area to ride but no more.....
The winds have shifted and now the smoke has covered Homestead. cough.... cough.... I'm heading for Key West and going diving....

Yeah, it could not have been a cigarette smoker, cause we know how considerate they've been over the years! And, we also know how thorough law enforcement and the media can be in their investigation of EVIDENCE. That being said, our right to trespass in that area does not preclude the safety of the residents living next to that SFWMD property, having posted no trespassing signs.

Anyone been out there since the fires? Anybody heard if they are kicking people out or if they posted signs? Looking to ride in the next 2-3 days and would like some info on it... Live in Pines and would not like to drive all the way down to see signs and cops all over the place. Thank you.  |

I was out riding most of the day on saturday and did not have any problems with FWC or any cops all day. We were out there till 5 pm. We even pulled out a Hummer H3 that was stuck. I can tell you the ground is so dry its got cracks all over and the rain that fell DID NOT make the place unridable, just had puddles in some places. The kids had a blast!!!
