Jan and I have done that route before on a 2-wheeler, pulling a cargo trailer. There are sure a lot of places where there are just miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles.

[kalavera]

you'll definitely have to stop in pensacola for a bit for a meet up. Probably ride with you a bit of the ways, maybe into Mississippi. (depending on when you will be coming this way)

6.21.9-6.23.9 and check this map for gass stops http://roadtrip.apehangers.org/maps/c2c.php :shemademe_smilie::spyder:

[Capt John]

Let me know when you are coming through AL and if my schedule permits I may ride with you to New Orleans.

[effgjamis]

Other than Doc, is any other FL spyder riders going to the LA event??

I am planning on going, not the 50cc challenge, but up to Little Rock and then I40 to LA.

I am thinking of the 1000 mile, 24 hour, Iron Butt run from Kissimmee to Little Rock,that is if I do not have company, but I have not made up my mind yet.

Email me, PM me, or call me 407-520-1061 if you are planning to go..

Ok Guys and Girls...

I have decided to leave Kissimmee durning the week of the 15th-19th of June.. If I am the only one, most likely will be leaving 18th-19th to Pearcy, AR ( 1,042 miles ) and in less than 24hrs.
Taking Fl turnpike to I75, to Atlanta, GA, then I20 to Burmingham, AL, then 78 to Memphis, TN then I40 to Little Rock, AR, and US70 to Pearcy, AR... Sleep then.
The above route is not set in concrete as I will entertain meeting up with other riders.
So.... Let me Know, or I be gone without you... sorry to say..

[FANG]

Can't go but Doc if you pass thru Pensacola on the 21st I will defiintely ryde with you to Mississippi and probalby the Louisianna border. Just need to know how many miles are u figuring to make it on a tank - are you using auxilliary tanks to extend you mileage?

Let us know because the Gulf Coast SpyderRyders will join as we can.

Good luck trying to keep up. The only reason we caught up to him was a fuel and rest stop. LOL

[LADD619]

Just make sure you stay fueled because there are a great deal of long deserted runs across the I-10 through Texas

Hey Doc, that is an excellent idea. I think I will hit that website myself and try to approximate stops four our route too. Thanks for the info. Ride safe and see you out there.

I guess I won't use that site, it is only for your ride. But now I have an idea of search parameters for the same type of thing for out route.

Ahhhhhhh.... He's not so fast... just think he is... :roflblack:

[ld271]

hey doc why are you going to 95 when you can just go 19 north and catch 10 westbound? iv taken us 19 going north its faster than i-4 your going way out of your way just to come back dont you think? once you pass hudson your home free saving almost 75 +80 miles out. map see what you think saving time too :doorag:

I think Doc loves the open highway more than Us19. Once we hit I-4, it was a pretty quick pace to Jax.

[effgjamis]

For Doc to do the 50cc, he must start at Jacksonvill, fl and then I10 to SD, CA.

[effgjamis]

I think all my mechanics are done on the Spyder., New GPS MOUNT, ESCORT MOUNT, EXTRA GAS etc..

This is the yellow thing almost loaded, just need my stuff in the trailer...

[docdoru]

What a GREAT idea!! :clap:

Anybody passing through Louisiana on I-10 to go to LA, drop me a line. I would love to ride 'shotgun' across the Bayou State. :doorag:

Start time 6.21.9 at 0600 in Jacksonville Beach....:shocked:

Doc, thanks for the update on Forrest. Give him our best if you get the chance. Sorry I live too far away from the route to help out.

[SPYDERPOPS]

In case the Doc didn't make it clear enough I want to tell everyone that Forrest has had a battle with his blood sugar and we just want to make sure he is safe for the rest of the journey.

Tomorrow will be his 77th. Birthday and my 2 sons and I will be riding with him to Vicksburg, MS. At that point we REALY need more Spyders to take turns riding with him the rest of the way even if it's 25 mi. it will make a big difference.

Post or PM us so you can help celebrate his birthday.

HC

[docdoru]

On 7.4.9 I will pick him up in Ocala, FL and rYde to his home town, Kissimmee, FL.

[FANG]

Doc have been in touch with sabunim5 and we want to know if anyone can meet Forrest at the junction of I-10 and I-75. if so we can probably get him from Mobile to the junction on the 4th. Let us know.

[dltang]

I am praying for Forrest and saying thank you to the SpyderLovers that are pitching in to help. This is one more confirmation that this group is family. Also, Doc, glad to hear you made it home safely. It was great spending some time just chatting with you.
