BDII Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 My parents and grandparents have all migrated down there and I am considering following suit. I have really fallen in love with mountain biking, and yes I know there are no mountains in florida.... but there are 100 miles of trails that remain open year round. The thought of riding year round is music to my ears. I considered Cali too, but that seems a little far for me. Need forum help?

Opie Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Do you like heat coupled with extreme humidity? Do you mind being crowded by old people? Can you speak spanish so that you can place an order at McDonald's? Do you have a small fortune to blow on homeowners insurance? If you ordered yes to the following questions...come on down!

TPLGT Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I live in Jax... Cost of living is OK....great mountain biking here....not as many old people as in TPA. We kinda have 'seasons' if you can call it that...it can get into the 20s in Jan.... Overall, this is great place to live. I am from Boston and went to school in NH so I know all about the snow and cold.... Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 my point stands. hardly the same thing without some elevation. I grew up at the beach and know how much fun sandy trails are to ride </sarcasm> not to derail the thread however. we've actually looked at listings around Lakeland, just to see what the market is like. Got a possible deal in the works that might take us down Tampa way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Sweet Lakeland is where I be;) If looking @ a map of Lakeland make sure you are not north of Memorial Ave...... Stay on the south to southwest side of Lakeland If you are north of Memorial.......YeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaawwwwww!!!!! BTW Lakeland does have a few areas great for trail riding. Reclaimed phosphate mines are all over:) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Manstrong Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hey Opie (or any other Bay Area folks), know anything about New Port Richey? I've got an interview there next week... it seems pretty sleepy, but only a half hour away from Tampa/St. Pete, where I'd like to end up. At least it's on the water; 7 years landlocked in Gainesville is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unstablementaly Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I beg to differ....Tampa/Clearwater women FTW Hooters & Winghouse both started in Clearwater! yeah, but spring breakers don't flood there like they do lauderdale and miami. and in miami you get tons of dirty mexican/cuban/columbian whores!! my vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
