I brought my bike along on a work trip a few years ago and rode all of those along with a number of other spots. I liked Loyce Harp best, then Alafia and Balm Boyette in that order out of all the places I rode. I posted a trip report on SE section of MTBR:

FWIW I thought Santos/Ocala was overrated. Riding at Hillsborough SP was pretty flat and boring. The only other spot I'd go out of my way to hit again was Chuck Lennon. Lots of other fun looking trail systems to the north and south. They make great use of elevation, terrain and old mining features in FL.

I did see someone running when I was going into the parking lot from the church (the church has better parking lighting so I park there when night riding). Maybe it was you.

 

Good call. I’ve never thought to do that but I might now.

 

idk if you ever watched the video, but TTC is around Chattanooga area or at least biggest city within 30 mins. It’s probably 1.5 hours for you in Huntsville.

Google Trials Training Center

 

Very glad to hear that, thanks man!

 

I really appreciate the ride report; thanks for documenting your trip so well! After seeing your pictures, I’m twice as excited to ride out there. Riding in this swampland terrain will be something entirely new for me… those fingers with water on both sides look awesome!

 

@ahoy yeah they are actually really cool trail systems. If I recall all the trails at Loyce Harp and Balm Boyette are closed to hikers since they were built by bikers for bikers. And many are directional which makes them even better. Some trails at Alafia as well, but it's a state park so some trails open to hike/horse as well.

 

Yeah man I had a hospital visit last time I rode there. Basically same steepness/rocks at Windrock but every rock moves lol

 

HandUp gloves.

 

ooo I have a pair already, but another is not a bad idea.

 

Copious amounts of chamois butter.

 

Can never have too many! I swap gloves every other ride to keep their funk factor as low as possible between washes...lol

 

Their new pro glove is great, and getting a pair for cold weather is helpful.
They’re my go-to now. No more Fox or TLD.

 

Those look great, might have to get a pair. Thanks for posting.

 

I'll be adding a pair of the cold weathers to my wish list! Thanks!
