Ride location has been changed to Indian River starting at the Indian River OHV Parking lot, 5844 South Straights Highway and White Rd. Start time is 9:30am sharp. Please arrive by 9:00am to unload and be ready for rider/driver meeting by9:20am.A trail lunch stop is planned at Thumb Lake Park (00665 Magee Rd.). Two new porta johns are available on site. Three picnic tables are located under a pavilion BUT there is no guarantee they will be vacant. The is no fuel available on this 70 mile ride. The route will consist of ORV trails, forest roads, logging roads, and county roads. This will be a more technical ride than past Club rides; the terrain and trails dictate a slower pace. Some of the trails will have low hanging branches that will brush against riders and machines. In pre-riding, none of the small branches were a cause for concern. There are areas of deep sand, washboard, washouts, hills, off-camber riding, water/mud, rock,& some short sections of dirt road to connect to the next trail. About 3 miles of pavement or less are in the route.
Effort was put into developing a route to minimize rough sections and dust; much of the route is heavily wooded so even if it's dry the woods will be low dust. This is a fun,challenging route which is mostly off the official ORV route.
