Great turn out for breakfast this morning. If my count is right, there were 16 shoehorned in Snellgroves for food, conversation and camaraderie. As usual, there were a number of people who showed up for breakfast who were not able to go on the ride. That is a good thing since we would rather have their company for breakfast only than for them to not come at all.
Later, ten people on eight bikes headed for Mt. Dora where Bill had an appointment for service on his V-Strom. The route took us around the outskirts of Lakeland, across Rockridge and Green Pond then north on 33 to Groveland. After a quick stop for gas, Bill and Boyd took off for Champion Kawasaki so Bill could make his appointment on time. The rest of us followed at a more leisurely pace.
Arriving at the dealership, we spent some time checking out the machines on the showroom floor. Since it was to take two hours for Bill's service, Bill, Boyd, Bob and I decided to go across the street to Chili's for lunch. The other for bikes and riders decided to head for home to try to beat the oncoming rain. And a hard rain did come while we were eating lunch. Luckily we had plenty of time to wait it out. We made it back to the dealership, still dry, about the the Bill's bike was finished.
We quickly mounted and headed towards home. Although it started to rain again soon after we left, the rain stopped by the time we reached 561 and did not start again until we reached Lakeland. At that point, the remaining group broke up and we all headed for home.
It was a good ride in spite of the weather. See you next week.

I appreciate everyone's support and participation in my service situation. Special thanks to Bob (who needs a cool nickname, like "Stats"), Gunny, and Mr. Sarcasm for sticking with me for the duration. Friends like all of you guys is what makes our little group so special and worthwhile.
