Been wanting to do this ride for years. Made the cut this year. Will be traveling 720 miles from Southern IL for the ride. hope to see 399 of my best friends there.

Wow, that is a long way to go. It's fun, but not that fun, unless you're doing other stuff while down there.

I will be there, but i'm only traveling less than three hours.

FL is a fun place. Imho one of the best places to ride a mtb in the US. After the Ididaride, plan to paddle out to Cayo Costa from Bokeelia. Then go to Litha Springs and from there ride Balm Boyette, Carter Road, Alafia and also paddle part of the Alafia River.
Then go to a couple more rivers to paddle. Hit the Croom one of the best pure XC ride around. Go to Santos and last but not least San Felso. Plus a few trails run just for fun.
PS. like a kid, I can't wait.

Wow, I would need a vacation... after that vacation.

You must be super fit, or have a lot of time off. Sounds fun though. Enjoy!!!

[Shawnee 1]

a little of both, i guess. 2 weeks in FL, is never enough.

Going South. Say hey, if you see me. Greg

I will be there, with two others! We're loading up tomorrow a.m and going to crash in Lake City. Should be a great time. Safe travels!

Sounds perfect. As I watch it snow in VA.

I would have to add at least one day on the beach doing nothing.

Saw your rover parked at a sag. Did you not ride?

[Shawnee 1]

Yes did the ride, had a great time. Wife was working at #2 sag.
P.S. just got home.
