"Mafia" Mountain Bike Rides
The Brooksville Mafia rides Tuesday and Thursday evenings from the firetower in Croom and promptly ride out at 6pm. There are several pace groups but at a minimum you should be able to ride 12-16 miles. Most of the riding is cross country with some sandy spots. Advanced sections do have cut-arounds. Night Lights are highly recommended as we often get caught after dark.
