About Us

We're a growing community of Florida off-road riders who'd rather be on two wheels than anywhere else.

F.A.T.E. — Florida Adventure & Trail Exploration — started as a Facebook group and has grown into a community of over 9,000 riders. Whether it's a weekend trail day, a group ride out to one of Florida's off-road parks, or just swapping stories and wrenching tips, F.A.T.E. is about riding together and looking out for each other on and off the trail. Riders of all experience levels are welcome — the easiest way to jump in is through the Facebook group.

  • Richloam WMA

    WMA

    Sumter County, FL

    Richloam is special. Its mainly a wildlife management area for hunting and camping, but because of that there are trails everywhere. It's known for its swampy type water holes and black mud. Expect to get wet during the rainy seasons. But also probably some of the best trail riding you can do in FL. Most meet at the FireTower\Ranger station as there is plenty of parking and a good central starting point. Just across the street is the Richloam General Store.

  • Citrus WMA

    WMA

    Citrus County, FL

    Only street-legal, plated dual-sport motorcycles are permitted to ride within the Citrus Wildlife Management Area (WMA). While the sprawling 50,000-acre terrain features highly dynamic elevation changes and technical challenges, • The Sugar Sand Challenge: For heavy dual-sports or street-biased adventure tires, the thick sugar sand sections (especially on central tracks like Trail 11 and Trail 15) can be a real hurdle. Maintaining momentum and bringing proper off-road tire pressure is key. • Trail 19 (The Technical Test): If you want a challenge, Trail 19 is a notorious 1-mile stretch featuring massive ruts, steep washouts, and switchbacks up to 4 feet deep. It is widely considered one of the most technically challenging public tracks in Florida. • Trail 14 (The Big Dip): This route features deep depressions and steep terrain changes that test your front-end clearance and climbing traction.

  • OCT10

    6th Annual Fall Foliage Ride

    Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 9:00 AM – Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 4:00 PM · Two Wheels of Suches

    I know it's waaaay early to think about the Fall Foliage Ride, but I wanted to remind everyone who's coming of the importance of early accommodations. If you're even thinking of coming, you should book lodging now. This is peak tourism season in the area and cabins book-up a year in advance. Plus there are always other, bigger events at TWoS on that same weekend, so plan ahead. **Update** All the cabins and rooms at TWoS are rented. You'll have to find accommodations elsewhere. Contact TWoS here: https://twowheelsofsuches.com/ There are also multiple Airbnb rentals available and some wineries/resorts in the area that offer accommodations. Here are some cabins just up the road from TWoS: https://www.kennedycreekresort.com/ There is also camping at TWoS & other more remote sites in the area.
