    Nice to see these trails again. Some of those lines made me smile. Ern and burn and the the Nayls loop were my favorite trails in the Santos system. Had to give up MTB due to a spinal cord injury but someday I'll rent a E-mountain bike and give em another go.

    Those are my favorite trails in Ocala, I camp at Ross Prairie and do a loop including Nayls South and North, so much flow 👍

    I’m a roadie now but share your quest to move to the mountains one day. Your Rotor crank removal and IT band stretch videos have been game changers for me! Thanks bro.

    Thank you so much for this tour. And yes, MTB is undiscovered in Florida. My roadie friends are still closed minded about it.

    I very much appreciate your focusing on the various trail systems in north central Fla. My wife and I are researching prospective “active” retirement locations and between yours an JOM’s videos , I’m chomping at the bit to accelerate the timeline. Keep’em coming.🙏. Oh, not sure what your numbers look like on the Kayak videos, but as we like to do that as well….. they’re not exactly hurting my sales pitch 😇

      If you like, flat water, kayaking, gravel, riding and mountain biking, there are a few places better than the Ocalla and Gainesville area.

    This looks like somewhere I need to go. Today was a beautiful day for biking too glad the sun came back. Have you ever had any deer run out in front of you or a Wild hog. I had both happen to me 😮

    • @ClintGibbs
      @ClintGibbs  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve seen many many deer over the years while riding but never had one run out in front of me.

    That looks like a lot of fun on a gravel bike as it would be somewhat challenging vs a mtb

    Your videos have been really helpful in accelerating my MTB learning curve. Just started this new adventure in May after decades of road riding, triathlons and long charity rides. I ride with my two grown sons and we’ve ridden most of central Florida and recently added Graham, Balm and Alifia. Santos is next on the list but not sure to start with the west side parking at the 49th TH or the Vortex area. Have to split over 2 days I’m sure

    Great video and riding. The trails you were riding look similar to the trails here in middle Georgia. I love trails like that. I want both wheels on the ground. Old bones don’t heal very quick 😂. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

    Thanks for the video Clint. I'm down in Daytona and would like to explore more trails near me and 2 hours drive is not that bad to get to Santos trails. Have to do it some time.

    Great video. Those of us in the Balm and Alafia area welcome some different trail views Question: the speed of the video.Speeded up? If not what speed are you doing?

    • @ClintGibbs
      @ClintGibbs  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That was actual speed. You can roll pretty fast on those trails. I’d say between 11 and 16mph.

    MTBing isn't massively under participated. Really cycling in general is way better than most people think it is. I ride to work each day and you know, 99.9% of folks I see on the way are driving cars, I just think wow they are really missing out on all the fun, feel sorry for them.

    Hey Clint - the camera perspective change is good, but your audio is difficult to hear. The wind noise seems just higher. Just wanted to mention it.

    • @ClintGibbs
      @ClintGibbs  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah audio is much better on chest mount.

  • @kevinw6282
    @kevinw6282 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bar mount seemed to work nice, different perspective. Trail Forks shows the trails and both ways. If you mentioned it and I missed it I apologize, but are they ridden more often west to east on the more southern trails and east to west on the more northern trails, or will you find people going both ways all the time? I guess I'm asking if there is a preference despite it saying both ways?

    • @ClintGibbs
      @ClintGibbs  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I like the flow better by staying right especially Nayls south when heading east. But I see people riding all of them both directions.

    @clint - I want to escape some New England winter and this looks like a great place. Is there a rainy season I should avoid down in Ocala?

    • @ClintGibbs
      @ClintGibbs  ปีที่แล้ว

      Rainy season is June to September , But it’s mainly afternoon thunderstorms. If you ride before 3 PM you’re usually OK during that time. But if you’re coming from New England, that’s a brutal time to ride because of the heat and humidity. Any other time during the year is great
