SHOW & GO Sat. ; Oct 30th back roads out of Brooksville.

[Pegs]

Hey everybody, I posted this on the Central Florida board and VorTeXx suggested I get it up over here also. This should be a great ride and worth getting to so I hope you give it some consideration. VorTeXx replied he plans to be there.

I also have another ride I've been writing VorTeXx about for North Florida folks that we're thinking of trying on Nov 6th, or maybe even two days. I'll be getting that post together soon, maybe yet tonight. Hope to see some of you in Daytona.

(We had 19 riders and 17 VTX's on the 16th's ride.)
[quote="Pegs"]With the 16th's ride ending to beat the cold (sunset), there was some interest expressed in hitting a bunch of good roads again soon. Two weeks on the 30th was thrown around so let's see who's coming with us.

The following is a route that is 239 miles of some excellent roads. Very achievable if we get an earlier start (8 or 9am), have lunch (probably Salt Springs), and have a good number of the 10 or 15 minute variety of breaks.

These are good scenic and fun roads. If you haven't experienced them all before, you ought to take this opportunity.

The route is written as starting in Brooksville and ending just above there. I'm not aware of any plans after the ride so everybody would probably just drop off where it's most convenient for them (unless somebody makes plans).

Those folks responding earliest have the greatest influence on exactly where to meet and what precise time so give us a good suggestion.

I plan to go Pegs.
What a shame, 15 views and only one response.

Hey X's,

Saw Sonnybusa and VorTeXx at the HDL tent on Saturday and had a good ride up to St. Augustine afterward with VorTeXx. On the way to Biketoberfest I found a couple roads near Moss Bluff that plug into next Saturday's ride as direct replacements.

It looks like we've got a group and I haven't had anyone pin down the start time or location so here goes:
Let's leave Brooksville at 9AM. According to yellowpage searches of Brooksville there are multiple McDonalds but let's meet at the one listed as on route 41 (S BroadSt) about half way between 50 (running along the South of Brooksville) and 50A/98 (more in the center of Brooksville).
Edit: meeting place is going to be the I-75 & 50/98 McDonalds


Hopefully the 9AM start is better for folks than the 8AM. Most everyone's traveling some distance to start this off.

I'm coming from Gainesville and meeting VorTeXx (from Jacksonville) at 326 and I-75 at North Ocala at 7:30AM. I'm sure VorTeXx would welcome some company from Jacksonville to where we meet.

As with the previous ride, some are coming from Tampa area, some from Orlando.

Hope to see more of the N.Fl bunch sign on. These are great roads and VTX's make them better.

Sounds good to me. I do hope others will join us from North Fla.
I will see you at the time and place stated.

Is anybody else thinking about it? Any questions we can answer?

These roads are scenic and they are fun. What's your style?

Aggressives tend to break away on the curves while the scenic riders enjoy the other great aspect of this route. The breakaways always wait at the next turn so everyone stays on the course. Hope to see you there.

Advanced forecast has it beautiful for riding.

Sonnybusa has suggested we meet at the I-75 McDonalds so:
(or of course, you can also meet where VorTeXx and I are meeting for the ride to there).

We will all meet at I-75 and 50/98 McDonalds.
McDonald's at 31038 CORTEZ BLVD, BROOKSVILLE, FL 34602-7519
east of I-75.
See you there 9AM.

OK you and I meet at 326/I75 and travel to 50/I75 right?

[Pegs]

Right. That is correct.

OK
