FLORIDA SUCKS.
i love to ride my dirt bike- so i join FTR (Florida Trail Riders) and the past 3 years have seen a 50% reduction in available open land for hare scrambles and enduros. reasons of- land is too valuable to leave open for ORV use, environmental imapcts, and housing communities and strip malls taking away riding areas
i love to race my bicycle- so i join USCF and the past 2 years have seen long standing events fade away with not so many new ones.
one would think that with the size of our state, the money it generates and the size of its population and growth projections- that we'd be able to get our sh1t together.
i can offer this- our club is working with the parks and recreation people and the city commissioners to hold at least a TT and a crit next year down here in Naples. i'm certain we'll keep Tim in the loop as things progress.
we need help.
