It was another glorious Saturday morning in central Florida as eight good friends met for breakfast in Plant City. The skies were somewhat overcast and the temperature was cool but promised to warm quickly. Leaving Snellgrove's Restaurant, three of the group left for other duties while, Bill, Boyd, J.T., Bob K. and I prepared for the day's ride.
The morning ride took us to San Antonio via Dover and Zephyrhills. We made a comfort stop at the San Ann Market where we enjoyed a beverage and conversation on the patio. This is always an enjoyable stop because of the atmosphere and the very friendly people. From there, we headed off to explore the many hills and curves that the area offers, including Jessamine Rd., Clay Hill, Powell, Hayman, Bayhead, Bellamy Brothers and Old Pasco. Lunch time found us back in San Antonio for a stop at Pancho's Villa Mexican Restaurant.

After lunch we headed back to the road. Boyd's Concours14 had just completed it's break-in and it was time to stretch it's legs. Soon after we left the restaurant, Bill turned his bike towards home while the remaining four continued the ride. The afternoon route took us back north to Trilby, then back to Dade City, where Bob broke away from the group. As we approached Zephyhills, J.T. also headed for home. That left just Boyd and I to complete the ride.
We headed towards the north Lakeland area to run Old Dade City Rd., Sherrouse and Lakeland Acres. From there, we made our way over to Green Pond Rd. then explored the curves through the orange groves east of Polk City.
It was a great 236 mile ride. You should have been there!
