Hey there! I'm not sure if you're still checking comments, but I'm designing a website for a riding group that rides these trails, and I was wondering if you'd be o.k. with me using a small clip of your video? :)
Hello, yes I do still check these comments. You can definitely use clips of this video! My only request is that you share the final product with me. I’d love to see it!
Rarely. I've tried to go several times but found the trails closed. You'd need a good few days to a week of dry conditions, and even then it's not certain. They do have a website you can check before you go to make sure though.
Just pre-ordered my first MTB at 51 years old. I'm not out of shape because round is a shape. I cannot wait to try this area and several others. Napes resident. Great video.
@@jackattackoutdoors9797 I have a issue, I'm 5'11, I'm at the top of the height limit for the bike with 29s and a 17 inch frame. I was thinking about canceling my purchase and waiting for the brand Giant Talon 29er with a little larger frame. The Talon has 2 front gears and tubeless rims/tires. What do you think about my height vs a 17 inch frame? I'm gathering info from friends that ride and trying to get other opinions. Lol not basing my decisions on UA-cam alone.
I'd hold out for the Talon. Fitment is really important and a tubeless set up makes a world of difference. At 5'10, I'm shorter than you and ride an 18" frame. Definitely better to get something you can grow into, rather than just having to buy another bike in a couple years. That's just my two cents!
It's all relative. Depends on what you're used to. If you've been riding in the Midwest for example, most trails in FL will seem unique & different. What I was trying to do with this video was highlight the more unique features that stand out in this trail system (compared to most of it which is flat). Wasn't necessarily comparing it to other trail systems.
I've definitely thought of that! Just seems like my visor would get in the way. Plus I superglued my Gopro mount where it's at on the top of the helmet. Considering upgrading to a gimbal soon anyways though, to get that handlebar point of view. So may not be an issue in the near future.
I have seen snakes (rattlers), deer, armadillo, gators and endless varieties of birds. I also have no doubt there are plenty of black bear out there. Luckily no run-ins with them just yet!
I know it’s late notice but I’ll be there Saturday if you’re still in the area and want to ride. I’d love to have a local show me the ropes. I’m a CRP virgin so looking forward to popping my cherry 😂
Hey man, I'm sorry to say I just saw this comment now (Saturday afternoon). I actually live a bit further away now up in Venice, but I'm due for a visit back down to CRP - I'd love to show you around. How long will you be in the area? Hope you have a blast out there today!
@@jackattackoutdoors9797 no worries brother! I actually gave my wife one of her Christmas gifts early (rollerblades 😂) so I ended up just staying in Naples and cruising around a local park with her. I live in Naples but am available to make the ride pretty much anytime. Let me know when you plan on heading back down to crp and I’ll be sure to make it!
Sure thing! Always open to new riding buds. I should be ready to head that way soon with biking season upon us (cooler weather). Now just let me get back in riding shape so I can keep up!
In Cape Coral/Ft. Myers, no. If you're willing to drive a bit, yes. Head north - you have Alafia, Balm Boyette, Carter Road, Boldly Go/Live Long & Prosper trails in Venice, all within 2 hours. North - you have Santos. Go east coast, you have Virginia Key, Markham Park, Oleta River, Amelia Earhart all within 2.5 hours. The best resources I've found to look for trails are Singletracks.com (link in this video's description) and Google/UA-cam searches for Florida MTB trails. Hope this helps you find your next ride!
That's great to hear! Remember you can always walk any sections of the black trail (Far East) that you can't pedal through, it's not a long trail - just something to keep in mind! Either way it's always an adventure. I too have had a blast out there with my family. Glad to hear you are doing the same!
@@flman1284 yikes that's pretty early for me (I work 3PM-1AM). If you pushed it to the afternoon I could make it. Otherwise no worries. I know it's cooler in the AM!
I come here I’m 8 and I cleared the big jumps super fun/
Sick! Keep it up my man.
If i want to move to cape coral this would be the closest option for mtb correct?
Yes I believe it would be. If you want to drive a little further there is Alafia and Carter Road but they are quite a ways north of you.

You saw rattlesnakes?
No rattlesnakes. I did see a pretty large snake sunning itself in the trail on another ride there though.
Nice riding and great vid! I love CRP. Great little trail system that is well kept. Props to the Mudcutters for all their hard work! 🚲
Amen to that! I have met a few members myself and they're great people!
Thanks for the video. Can't wait to check this out in a couple weeks. I'm in Ft Myers
Nice video, good speed just went out there for the 1st time today. 2nd time riding at all, fun place for being 20 min away.
Jack are the trails open during raining season?

Thanks, Steve! You're never too old! May I ask what you ordered?

That's a sick first bike! Enjoy the learning process, it's one of the best parts of the whole experience.

I wouldn't say there was anything really unique about the trail but it seems alright

You should put your go pro on the front of your helmet so it won’t smack trees just have to change the mount
I've definitely thought of that! Just seems like my visor would get in the way. Plus I superglued my Gopro mount where it's at on the top of the helmet. Considering upgrading to a gimbal soon anyways though, to get that handlebar point of view. So may not be an issue in the near future.
I went there today and absolutely loved it ... perfect for speeding ..Have there been any animal sites out there ... like bears or mountain lions ?

@beaulink4775 do you ever ride at Baker park? Or bird rookery swamp?
Cool. I am moving across to Cape Coral. Happy to know there are some trails close by
Welcome to the area! You'll have plenty of trails to ride if you're willing to look for them!
@@jackattackoutdoors9797 I just moved to Ft Myers and wanna start riding in a few weeks
@@jackattackoutdoors9797 So are there really a lot? I checked Trailforks and didn't see a bunch in the area.

Rode here today with the wife and sons. Great time, great trails. Did the green, doing blue next weekend. Will work up to black
