Which part of "mountain biking" in this forum's name is confusing to you? for someone who claims to have been mountain biking for a while it's curious that you aren't familiar with what "XC" represents.

Regardless, Florida just about as far from XC MTB mecca (see OP) status as you can get.

Australia (technically a continent) and New Zealand also great places (I have been there, have you? I mean you are recommending places you actually have been and know about, right?) but again farther away than I got the impression the OP was looking at.
Semantics again - coupled with a false dichotomy this time. Lovely.

This internet stuff can be pretty upsetting for some folks. Here's a tip for you:
If you post a ridiculous answer to someone's question sometimes folks are going to point that out.

I've been riding off-road since I was a kid but only riding a MTB since 1987.
What does that have to do with your silly suggestion that the OP consider Florida in his search for a XC mecca?
