Popular Post Tizeye Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 23, 2021 As part of my day outing photo trek went to Alafia River State Park south of Tampa. One of the top mountain bike destinations in the State. 29 courses in total, 4 Expert, 13 advanced, 7 intermediate, and 5 easy. This is Moonscape (Expert - 2 black diamonds)) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted February 23, 2021 Gatorback (Expert - 2 black diamonds) The sign at the other end of that bridge prohibited hiking on the trail. Just had to check around the bend...and ready to jump off the trail, but where? Duck behind a tree on left perhaps as bank was too steep to climb for clearance. Another sign warned of gators in the water so turned around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted February 23, 2021 A little history. This was initially a phosphate mine, abandoned well before the State passed a law that required mine to re-claim the land. The State developed it into a State Park. I still have 2 day outing I need to accomplish, and one loop is to the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings 'cracker' home closer to Ocala is near Santos in the Ocala National Forest, arguably the #1 mountain bike destination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend_Maynard Posted February 23, 2021 Share #12 Posted February 23, 2021 I have ridden there once. Sort of a one trick pony with the punch climbs and steep roller drops off the other side. Still, very interesting for a RIer to ride with that kind of flora/fauna. I did see a gator in the water, but not on the trail itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
