It was another great day for riding in central Florida. It started with the usual meet up next to the Whistle Stop restaurant. At first it looked like the turn ot would be a little light, but first impressions can be very wrong. By the time we headed over to breakfast, we had 12 bikes and 14 people, including 3 new VStrom DL1000's,
Kyle's new 2007 Harley Street Glide
and first time guest rider, Larry Carter. The good people at Snellgroves had to scramble to find seating for all of ussince some interlopers had beaten us to our regular table (truth to be tolds, it wasn't big enough for us anyway).
Here's Kyle showing off his Blue Knights tatoo. Nice job, Kyle.
After a great breakfast we all headed for our ride. We did not have any particular destination set for today, just a list of good roads that would test the new bikes and keep us fairly close to home in case the weather turned bad. Click here to review today's route.
107 miles later, we stopped for lunch at Mojo's in Lakeland. As usual, the food was excellent and the service was, well, let's just say the food was well presented. After lunch, we wandered over to the Fun Bike Center to look around.
Most of the riders headed home from here while Boyd, Bill and on continued on the Green Pond Road via Fussell Road.
The weather held, the company was great and the road was excellent. All together, we covered 187 miles of the best roads in the area. Come and join us next week. You should also check our Bill's blog for pictures and his eloquent account of today's travels.
