New Riders

Our trail at CRP is an excellent place to begin.  However, usually in the months of August and September the trail is too flooded to ride.  The Swamp Club meets every Sunday at a trail in Florida.  They have 3 - 4 groups that ride.  A, B+, B, & C.  The C group is groomed for beginners and has a guide that can assist in simple bike mechanical needs.  This is an excellent way to learn the Florida off-road riding trails. They welcome new riders and have about 350 members.  Visit their web at www.swampclub.org.  or use our link.
