I've meant to do strata florida for years (in a 4x4) but have never got round to it so I've only ever seen photos.
How doable is it on a big trail bike? Or is it more suited to lighter bikes?
Cheers

Cheers lads, it looks great but probably beyond me until i get some practice on the dirt. I'd rather tackle it in a 4x4 first as I don't like the idea of all that water.

Go on... Give it a go... What's the worst that can happen.
I think I have some other pics on my profile if you want to have a look.
Did it June and November last year... Very different ride when it is flooded. When it isn't though, it's not as bad as it looks. In June I think there were only a couple of crossings that came above the sump. November... Now that was a different story
Get some practice and give it a go, it's well worth it.

I really wouldn't worry about it, it's a simple ride with the odd section where bit more care should be taken. Most of its on fire roads.a good entry level ride
Plenty of other tracks in the area to fill the day also. I used to run a 4x4 school in the area a few years ago and it's one of the best area's in the uk
