Strange changes right? Orlando Mx Park (Bithlo) is a great location! They just need some good dirt and the riders will come!

thundercross was the closest track for me coming from Jupiter, Dean always did a great job on track prep whenever I went there, awesome track, late in the day when the jump faces get all rutted up it can be a little hairy! I hope the new track operators keep up the good prep. any word on the layout? changes?

Was at OCR in Bithlo recently and I can say it's definitely all new. The entire track area is now being utilized instead of just the front area, lots of air time now with more of an outdoor layout, long straights and sweeping corners. Lap times are in the 1:50 range average. Didn't get to ride it but it looked really good and a huge improvement. Dean seems really motivated too.

Because the person running it had anger issues and zero customer service skills. So he pissed off most people, and they stopped riding there and now go to FTT instead, and then the few people that stuck around pissed him off, so he just took his ball and went home.

Right now its private invite only to go ride around in cow patties and get yelled at.

I thought it might be somethings like that.

Thanks!

Is there anything around central Florida besides Bithlo? I've been there several times now and it's enjoyable, but I was hoping for a little more variety that didn't involve a 3 hour drive one way.

I ride at Bartow Mx. I think it's a great track. Never really crowded and the staff is pretty cool.

Considering the name that's impressive and not a horrible drive. I'll definitely give it a shot. I'm way over in Cape Canaveral now so seems like most everything is a hike.

I used to live in the Melbourne area and most all of the good tracks were a long drive! If Orland MX had better dirt then I think they could get a bunch more riders.

Is there many vet riders over there now? 35+?

I just moved to Boynton Beach and am trying to figure out the riding spots. At first I only knew of Miami MX park and just found out about Florida Cycle Park from this thread. What else is around here? Some googling hasn't turned up much, but people I work with (who don't ride) keep saying there's places closer.

I won't be able to ride until September as I am awaiting for my truck to get here, but I want to know the spots. Thanks in advance

Those two tracks are your closest. However, now you can look up Florida Tracks and Trails. It is on the west coast of you but not a long drive. I am told it is cool. Looks nice on video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk7vjMy6zjg


My best advice is to plan your trips to Gatorback for Gold cup and Winter Ams. Also WW Ranch in Jax is nice. Pax Trax is a nice practice track and they have a campground!

I come down from NY for the winters, I have a place in Jupiter. Mesa park is pretty good, 2 tracks, nice people. 1hr north of Jupiter. Only made it to Florida Cycle Park 1 time last winter due to getting rained out a bunch of times, Only rode the vet/am track, but was very windy & track was dry & dusty, not sure what they had going on with main track, looked like a freestyle track, huge jumps. Orlando MX , the old bithlo track was fun & had safe jumps, 2 hr drive from Jupiter. I always bring my Xc 300 thinking I will find some nice sand hare scrambles loops but have not found anything but MX tracks. I would love to find an old school beat up sand track for pounding out motos....

Coyote MX is a sand track, old school style track with smaller jumps. My favorite is Hardrock MX, which has a nice hard pack main track with good elevation, a sand track, a hard packed beginner track and a nice Hare Scramble loop (my guess about 2 miles)

I finally got my truck so I am ready to ride! It looks like Miami MX, Florida cycle park, and Mesa are all about 1-1.5 hrs away. Given the fact I haven't ridden in over a year and am slow/out of shape (not that I was fast or in shape before)- Which of these 3 would you recommend? It looks like FCP has a separate vet/am track, do the others???

I've heard Miami MX park is good for beginners. I'm new to riding so that will probably be the first track I go to.
