[effgjamis]

Is there going to be a early meeting place for a ride prior to the 4PM feed???

[BikerDoc]

I will be there.. Do you need anyone to come early to help with setup??

[MoonChaser213]

Meet at the 88 Store !! It opens at 8 am and there are all kinds of places to ryde around here. Free coffee , anything you want , well almost...... Gas too. Showers and a laundrymat and even a place to hang your deer!! It's that time of year , you know, deer and bear are out in abundance around here. Drive safe. We could have some breakfast around here too, for early birds . Something small to tide you over.Let's see what kind of turnout is interested. ....Thanks for the help offer, BikerDoc, let's see how many people are coming. :clap:

[docdoru]

We can meet in Ocala somewhere and have a early ride (not a Marathon:roflblack:) If everyone wants. We can set up a ride in horse country first. then go to the BBQ in the Ocala National forest. Let us know if anyone is interested. Moonchaser give us shout, e-mail or otherwise. JC

I would like 1pm as time so we could take advantage of cooler morning weather for a horse country ride prior to party .. Either day works equally well.. I only offer this because you asked.. I would come whatever time it was and appreciate your offering this get together.

[MoonChaser213]

The feed has been moved up to 1:00ish on Sunday.......is that better for you hard working folks that have to work on Monday? Comeon Florida ryders. The Forest is an awesome place to ryde:f_spider:

General gun season doesn't start till November. Right now it's muzzle loading season. Those of us that live and work here look forward to the hunters coming in to pad our wallets

[LDFIREWORKS]

Marathon :yikes:????? I thought that was a gas station..:roflblack:

I am for an early meet for a short ride prior to eat, but...need to get home early for my beauty sleep.
1Pm feed sounds good. 10 ish sounds like a good meet time and where I know not.:chat:
Lets hope Blue is feeling up to the ride.

[MoonChaser213]

cool map, doc. ......so who is in charge of the morning ryde ? johnnyg? After ya'll ryde and come out to the Hungry Bear to eat....I could take a break from the BarBQ and ryde to Rodman Damn and back to the BarBQ . About a 30-45 min ryde. If anyone is interested. The actual route would be 316E to 19N to the damn , just S of 310. Could loop 310 to 315S then those that needed to head south could split there ... go to 40 etc:chat:.and so forth.

[Recon]

anyone voting for Saturday yet? We dont get home on Sunday til 11:30 so we would miss the early ryde; still can get there by 1 if you stay with Sunday

[MoonChaser213]

Nope , we're gonna stick with Sunday, feed at 1 ish....and we'll ryde afterwards too.....Wonder what Anni's up too....she'll be out of church by then...... hope to see you again, Recon.Stop by anytime...You're right here in the neighborhood. BTW, I still have my 750HondaShadowAero for sale only 655 miles, 2008,poor thing got totally ignored when I got my spyder!!!

bookboy first of allwelcome yes your more than welcome to join us. From St. Augustine you want to take 207 South to Palatka. Take 17 N to pick up 19 S. Take 19 S to salt springs just as you come into salt springs you will see the sign for CR 316 turn right. Then follow that RD about 6.25 Mi. you will see a black top Rd on your left. The sign should say NFR 88 turn left the store will be about .25 Mi on right. you are looking about a 1.5 to 2 HRs. Driving. I'm kind of guessing. If you have any questions fill free to call us at home 352-288-0605 To make the early ride you are talking about another hour. If you want to meet for the ride just let us know. John & Carol:clap::yes: We do alot of this:roflblack:

[MoonChaser213]

So looking forward to seeing everyone.....The Menu, (just to tease everyone else):p Pulled pork, chicken, hot dogs, mac and chez, slaw, chips and homemade salsa, fresh fruit, and my special carott cake. :yes:SEE YA'LL TOMORROW...:f_spider:

:2thumbs: :agree:

[docdoru]

Way to much fun in Ocala Forest...good food and nice (slow :gaah:) ryde. :thumbup:

[johnnyg]

I don't think we did to bad on the south side of 88. I'll do better next time 52:roflblack: or 53.

[johnnyg]

We are having trouble with this stupid computer. :gaah: Hopefully we will get the pics up by tomorrow. We want to say a special thanks to moonchaser for hosting the BBQ. The beers weren't bad either. We received an e-mail from bookboy and no one in Salt Springs could give him the direction to the BBQ. Unfortunely he left before reading our directions. He hopes to meet up another time. From Carol & I we had a ball too. Thanks for coming. Even if you went to the other station:roflblack::roflblack: BP, Marathon whatever. Next time someone else choose the station or the place to meet. Glad everone got home safe JC:clap:

[swrafey2000]

If the ride home was a slow ride then I hate to see what a fast one is.Had a great time and hope to do it again.

[WaltH]

I regret not making it to the BarBQ. I was all set to go but wasn't able to get enough sleep on Friday night. Insomnia often ruins my plans.

On Friday, I got the bike ready - checked the oil - checked the tire pressure - gave it a thorough inspection. I got everything together for an overnight stay. My plan was to get up at 6:00 am in order to leave at 7:00 am for a 300 miles trip. I expected to arrive between 12:00 and 1:00 pm. After the event, I had planned on going to Titusville for an overnight stay. On Sunday, I would make a social call in Cocoa and then return home in the afternoon. At 4:00 am I was still trying to get some sleep. If I were a little smarter, I would have made the overnight stay on Friday night and gone home after the event on Saturday. I will try to remember this next time.

I was looking forward to meeting more of the Florida Spyder owners. I wanted to see Forrest's new RT and to find out what kind of engine Doc is using now. I have a lot of questions to ask. I hope there is another opportunity - soon.

Hey1025 I will be down your way next weekend for the Bikers for Babies Ride plus bike night at Harley Naples Friday, Harley Fort Myers Sat. will you around??

For the average speed freak, it would definitely qualify. It was a great day with great people.

[MoonChaser213]

Great food and great people.. I had a ball. However some places are closed, but who cares, when friends can find each other, across the street..:roflblack:
Fun ride and saw some of Florida that I hadn't seen before.
This outhing, I would think would be worth repeating.
Thanks to all who made it possible.

[Recon]

Moonchaser, Thanks again for a great time....good food, good friends, good ryde, and think we need to do this about every other month or so at some location where we can all get together again.

:congrats:

:firstplace: :bowdown:

[BikerDoc]

At least three people at the BBQ asked me where I got my generic spider patches for my jacket and vest. I couldn't remember then but it was at www.thecheapplace.com , then search for spider patches and you will see some great options..

[MoonChaser213]
