Believe it or not, there are actually pretty good places to ride in Florida. Unfortunately most of them are about 2 hours from where I live. The closest decent place to ride is about 45 minutes away, and it's a small loop that follows a small creek. It's really not that bad, just real sandy and I've ridden it so much it's pretty boring. There are a couple real good trails in the central part of FL. Near Ocala about 30 minutes south of Gainesville(HOME OF THE FLORIDA GATORS). There are also some pretty good trails outside of Tallahassee (Home of the FSU Criminals, oops,I mean Seminoles). We've got a pretty competative racing series down here that goes all over the state. I heard of a good trail in SE Florida, but I've never been there. Mostly Ocala,(Hardrock & Reddick Trails) & Bellview(Santos Trail).
