@Deadorphanss it’s interesting watching the MX5 race. They are plowing through those giant curbs. I can’t do that with my car. I can’t afford to destroy my suspension.

It’s just not fun anymore wtf Daytona

It’s not good. Will be interesting to see how this affects the 24 hour racers

@@FloridaBikeAdventures Can't even see anything in a car, it'll be hard to have a reference point to turn in when it's nighttime.

⁠it was very disorienting. They sent us out for qualifying without warning us about any of the changes. Hard to see anything with the grass gone. It’s also much slower. This went from a 4th gear turn to a 3rd gear turn for me

@@AlanWJohnson there are lots of options here in Florida. I do not like riding on the roads here but the extensive dirt road options and paved trails make it all worthwhile

@@FloridaBikeAdventures I agree and am actually in the market for a new bike currently that’s more adequate for this style of riding. I’m a bit between a Gravel bike and a XC mountain bike.

@ I use my gravel bike much more than my mountain bike. I am more comfortable on a drop bar bike but you will lose some comfort of the suspension. Depends on if you prefer trails or dirt roads and over paths. I don’t do much trail riding so the gravel bike makes more sense

@ I am so glad you shared this with me. That has been my thought process all along, but I saw several of the riders on mountain bikes. As a chuckle, I really enjoyed your podcast when you were discussing camping in a tent versus being in a motel. When I was much younger, I did a ton of backpacking. My wife is a girly girl so obviously our camping days are over. I am also at the stage I prefer a motel, a bed, and a shower myself as well. 😀 My wife always says why would someone sleep in a tent when they can have a perfectly good bed? 😀 Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom, experience, and insight. Hopefully, we will cross paths on a trail one day.

@@TH.4W.4TCH.4 oh yes. Lots of gnarl and fat airs

@FloridaBikeAdventures 🤟🏿

@@waltbaker8036 it’s an option. I will be out in the elements this weekend. Hope it all works out

@@FloridaBikeAdventures I wish the would bring back the closed-toed Keen SPDs! My pair is SUPER worn out.

Thanks, I hate to think of getting surgery.

@@thomasglenz9137 he is the best. Could not do any of this without him

I love them. Wish I would have tried them sooner

Basically all I wear these days.

@@leehogan1381 is it?

@@lincolnlu9869 you definitely could do it in one run.

@@jonmeek3879 thanks. It’s a great spot to ride.

@@jonmeek3879 I like to give context to the areas we are in. It helps visualize the areas

It’s a blast. Will have it available late next week

@ thanks brother that’s awesome! We’ll be fresh back from NYC

@@philobetto1224 oh boy. It can get deep

@ when I seen the two graders go by y’all. I figured you were close to a haul road. They keep it sandy so the trucks can come through loaded and still pull I’ve seen where they cap it with clay and it gets a little rain and they just spin out then they have to get a skidder to come out of the woods and pull them out. Then Georgia pacific gets into it with the pulpwooders and loads get slowed down. I’m down here in Indian river county now we have a few trails but just littered with Yankees just out wandering around and you’ll run up on them hauling ass. And have to slam on the breaks and loose all your momentum and have to start over. It’s nice up in north Florida where you guys were riding.

I really love that area. It’s great to get away and enjoy wild Florida.

@@PedalPowerAdventures bike is really fun. Hope to see you guys soon. Let me know if you want to go ride it some time.

Yea, the bulls are not to be messed with.

@@treeaddict love the area. I hope they do more rail trail in that area

Need to make a couple of tweeks. Route will be available next week. All of our bikepacking routes can be purchased from Karlos at Singletrack Samurai.

@@FloridaBikeAdventures WONDERFUL!

Did it Dec 30/31 2024. Fresh off the bike. Planning the next one

@@FloridaBikeAdventures Im planning on a loop out in the panhandle next month. looking at going from somewhere in the st joseph bay east to wakula springs along the coast and then circling back through the Apalachicola nat forest. Any experience in that area?

@ Karlos can put together a route for you. www.singletracksamurai.com He is the best at bike packing route building in Florida.

I love a good creek crossing. That I-10 underpass was really cool. Was not sure that was going to work out.

@@printerror going out Tuesday to change a couple of things near Middleburg. Should be done in a week or so

We really did not have time to camp or carry the gear. Mike and I had 2 days to do get this almost 200 miles scouted and I really did not know if it was going to work. We agreed to travel light and go fast to try to see all of this loop if we could. It will be better run as a 3 day tour. Working on getting the logistics of camping spots and store stops put together for a tour later this year. Will be really fun as a 3 day tour. Lots of good camping options as we pass through 6 different state Forrests on this trip.

@@FloridaBikeAdventures You know I'm in!

@ let’s get a trip together. It’s really close for you

@@FloridaBikeAdventures I can easily ride to the Baldwin from home, so I might incorporate that into an out-the-door trip.

@@user-cx2bk6pm2f two big awesome days. Hit real lucky with conditions

@@joeastiller The guys at Firefly did an amazing job.

@@joeastiller would love to show you around.

@@cujomtb250 this was a blast. Great route and great company.

We started in downtown Inverness and went through Flying Eagle. There are lots more roads to explore in Half Moon. We just went to the end and back. ridewithgps.com/trips/244757299?privacy_code=3udxLAFSKuAk4xnQcobrxoKdACrfzR6z

@@92auggieboi that was a fun day. Let’s do it again

There is an abandoned lock and dam in Eureka. I got some footage of it on my ride with my friend Wayne when we rode from Ocala to the beach. You can see some shots of it from that video.

Yea, my wife is never surprised when I end up with these problems. I am always doing something to keep her on her toes.

Yes. 1998 Spec Boxster 986 2.5 liter

Glad you enjoyed it. There's so much history along the canal. Love the exploring this area

@@luispagan5319 always something

@@janetpaul8029 the Withlacoochie trail is amazing.

@@joeastiller these are really fun locations to visit. I try to give some reference

That’s the perfect sunset ride . Next time we will park at the ranger station lot

You should join us when you can. Lots of events this winter
