I just spent the last three days with some riding buddies covering 750 miles around the Ocala, Florida area scoping out a site and loops for our third annual winter Florida-Get-Together. Our local group holds this during the end of the week and weekend before President’s Day, so this year it’ll be Thursday-Sunday, February 16-19, 2012. The last two years it’s been down in Sebring, but we just needed some better roads and think Ocala is the better centralized location. Cedar Key, Sugar Loaf Mountain, Ozello Trail (Florida’s Dragon) and the Ocala National Forest…this area is going to be great.
Dates: February 16-19, 2012
Home base: Ocala RV Camp Resort
3200 Southwest 38th Avenue
Ocala, Florida 34474

Cabins, campsites, many nearby amenities.
This isn’t a huge deal. Last year we only had eight, but hope to grow this event each year. Principally asphalt riding as most will be on street bikes, but there are some gravel roads in the area and, of course, ONF has about any trail condition you can imagine (some parts have day fees).
^ ONF.
^ Buck Island Road into Cedar Key.
Cabins at the campsite are small and sleep three, which includes a bunk bed. $50 a night…campsites are $25. Bath and showers are right next to the cabins.
^ Bath/shower building.
There are some hotels right next door to the Camp, like walking distance:
