Anyone that knows our group, "Trailblazers and Hellraisers"
knows that we don't go on any wussy rides.
Next weekend will be no different.
All are invited but need to respond quickly to get the details -

Cape Doral ride is:
fifteen trailheads that go forever - you will not ride the same trail twice in the same day.
an average ride lasts four hours - we travel FOURTY to SIXTY miles on the trail in one trip
trail conditions vary, but expect sugar sand trails, some minor water crossings and the occasional skunk ape sighting (or is that sheldon - grizzly?)

we camp (rough camping) nearby - no facilities
a very isolated location - no police / legal issues to worry about

this is a last minute plan - let us know ASAP

See ya on the trails, and in the rear view mirror of my KFX 700

 

Where is Cape Doral?

 

TRXROB-

Cape Doral is close to you!
It's not really called Cape Doral - the name change is to protect
this ride area from "overpopulation" - actual information will be released in time -

I know it all sounds kinda foolish, but I gotta protect this spot. If you are a Miami rider,
you know more than most everyone else that awesome riding spots are rare - and the real great ones are turned into housing communities.

Cape Doral is not more than 2.5 hours from Miami.
I live in Ft Lauderdale, and make it in 2 hours.

Some members will be going Friday morning.
Others will arrive Friday Night, and Saturday Morning.

Those who have been there before know the following:
1. The weekend will consist of Ride, eat, rest, ride, eat, rest, ride, eat, sleep.
2. The "Big Saturday Ride" starts at 9:45am - be fueled and ride ready before that time.
3. Bring what you need - fuel, food, water etc. The camp area is isolated and primitive.

If you choose to ride without the group, prepare to find your own way back. The forest is huge,
it's easy to get turned around, and a GPS (with knowlege on it's use) is helpful, but not mandatory.

If you choose to ride with the group, bring spare fuel and water on the trail. We usually go full throttle
on a trail that loops us back to where we started. Plan on 40 - 50 miles of wilderness riding with very few stops along the way. This ride is NOT for the novice rider. Think of it as a four hour harescramble
with dozens of chances to pass and roost.

It's short notice, as most of our trips usually are - why screw things up with planning?
If you can make it, reply now. If you can't - maybe next time.
