Happy Fourth of July, everyone. We had a large crowd for breakfast this morning, including a visit from Carl Lane. Around 9:00 am, six bikes mounted up for a holiday ride. With an eye towards the weather and an early return for family activities, we headed northeast seeking twisting roads and wooded lanes. The first challenge came on Swindell with it's quick succession of 90 degree turns. Next came short, narrow, twisting Hancock Rd. which led us to Rockridge Rd. and Green Pond Rd. These narrow, twisting roads run through the woods of the Green Swamp, ending at SR-33. It was then a short run up to Lake Erie Rd., Bay Lake Rd and, finally, to Sloans Ridge Rd. This led us eventually to SR-50 west of Mascotte. After a short rest stop, the group decided to head to Sky Powersports via 561, 33 and I-4. It seems that Boyd & Bill have an itch to investgate Suzuki's new dual sport bike. Unfortunately, Sky was closed for the holiday. So, while Boyd headed home to pick up Vicky for a weekend trip, the rest of the group headed to Fun Bike Center to see what they had to offer. While the rest of us browsed, Eddie decided that a half-helmet was needed to survive the hot summer rides. He selected a great looking metallic white job that should leave him free to chew without serious incident. Afterwards, we walked over to Mojo's for a good lunch. The group bike up then and all headed home. It was a great day and great ride.
