Going to be in Fernandina Florida (just north of Jacksonville) for them holidays and trying to figure out if I should bring a dj bike or not. I've got a bunch of friends in Gainesville to go riding xc with but traveling with a much cheaper ss hardtail is easier.
I already know about what's going on at santos in ocala so that's already part of the motivation but I'd like to know of anything closer. I'm more than willing to put in some shovel time if need be.
I just moved from Amelia Island 2 months ago to SC. I really don't know of any dirt jumpin for you but in Fernandina there is FT. Clinch State park on the north end of the island. There is about 7 miles of single track to enjoy. Or drive to the south end of the island and take the Mayport Ferry across the river into Mayport FL. You will find Hanna park, which has about 15 miles of different single track trails. Hanna is the better ride of the 2. Enjoy your visit.
I guess I am getting too old. Lived in Jacksonville too long.
Maybe the point is all of us who live and ride in the Jacksonville area think that it is much easier to travel 2+ hours down to Ocala than it is to get together and convince the local park management to let us build mogul sections in our relatively flat, rooty, and sandy single track.
Either way, If there is bike track out there, Bicycles Etc. more than likely will know about it.
ya i don't like most of the people at bolles so i guess we are even. If you want to come hit up santos with me sometime let me know and we can coordinate it so we both don't have to drive down there. I can't wait to ride some of the new stuff. I think I'm getting a fox 40r for christmas so I want to break it in there.
I broke my ankle right accross the pit from that 30' huck they have pictured on OMBA. Helocopter came in and everything. Lesson learned (old guys break easy).

Always need a good picture taker to capture the "priceless" moments. Friday probably works for me. I'll be rockin my vp-free so it will be plenty for some of the big drops.

Forgot its the holidays. I can see myself right now ... (Honey, Thanks for the new frame. That was sooo thoughtful! Now can I go spend the day with 2 complete strangers. Right now they are just more important than you and baby. )
I've been down there twice now and I love it. The dirt jumps still need some grooming. I haven't really hit any of the big drops yet but the new trails are awesome.
