WOOHOO, is it April yet? Walmart has 5 hour energy drinks on sale by the 4 pack.

Mary and I are planning to go, and our schedule is flexable. But we will be making it a 2 day trip. Perhaps we will hook up with John & Carol as we have in the past. 4/26/11 Is that when you are leaving Ocala???? And where are you staying the first night out???
Hopefully we can get a Florida Express convoy.
I am getting excited about it.
Sorry we missed the ride to Mannys today, but we had a nice ride to Lake Mary with some 2 wheelers.

leaving from Fl the 27th, getting in on the 28th. We are trailering both bikes since we bought a new trailer for this sort of thing, yes we are wusses, but it would make it more enjoyable for us. We are staying at the Motel 6. We are leaving on the 1st and taking our sweet time getting home. May stop a day or so to do additional riding.

De Flxpress stops and gets butt rest at every Marathon. Or is it BP ? . Needles to say at least when we do fuel up.

I am flexible on timing, but would like to join the sane group that makes the trip in two days.. Staying at Best Western in Cuba, Mo.. Wish it was closer to the time.....

Hey, wait a minute....I resemble part of that insane group that does it in one shot...LOL

OK then---after talking with JohnnyGs RIO, I made reservations for Mary and I at the Motel 6 in Cuba starting Wed. April 27-30.
It appears that we will be leaving Florida on Tuesday morning April 26, and possibly stopping around the Birmingham area for the night. JohnnyG is planning the route and has not finalized it yet, but interstate is not the preffered route to Birmingham. We will have to stop around Atlanta and pick up at least 1 more RT couple (Richard & Tina) who also attended the SITS rally.
The motel reservations clerk was friendly and asked if we were with the spyder group--so she would give us the discount.
The number is different from the number posted by Johnny G as the motel has just changed from a Holliday Inn to the Motel 6. The new number is 573-885-0100
Make your reservations early and we look forward to seeing you all once again. C-YA RL and Mary

[RShrimp]

I am going but not in one day. I have family in Dothan AL so might make that a stop over spot. Too early for these details for me. Have reservations for Wednesday night. So I will be there Wednesday somehow.

[Blinc]

I'll be tagging with Randy.
Hey Randy, if several others join with us, can we all stay at your familys place?

[InspectorGadget]

Florida Sane Ryders,
I just made reservations for the first night out (April 26, 2011) at the Days Inn listed below. $56.57, and it looks like it includes breakfast.
"Free full Hot Breakfast with stay, Micro/fridge and coffee maker in all rooms, Free High Speed Internet in all Guest Rooms, On-site Business Center, Pets allowed, On-site restaurant plus others nearby"
http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/contr...opertyId=06090
Check it out to see if you might want to stay there.
I am trying to get a contact list together of those who want to ryde with this group. Just PM me with your E address so we can all stay in touch.
Merry Christmas C-YA RL and Mary

I have family in Murfressboro tenn. trying to fit them into the trip. But I might forget them and hook up with the Florida Sane Ryders instead.

Moonchaser,
I think JohnnyG may not be traveling back right away when the spyderfest is over. If that is the case I will be returning via interstate on Sunday, and I was looking at stopping in the Murfreesboro area for the night. We may be able to adjust so you can see your family.
Plans are still being made and adjusted, so don't give up hope

Well well well !!!!!!!!!!

So we have a division of Fl ryders... Sane and Insane.

So we have to pick which bunch we ryde with.

Bah Hum Bug... I thought we were a togetherness group.

Oh Well, Save my buck and ryde straight thru. Looks like I will save, by not taking two days going and two day days returning, about 200 bucks, lodging and extra meals.. That will buy alot of fuel.
Of course some need their beauty sleep etc....

Since we all will be leaving about the same time we can still meet at Wildwood and along the route and those who stop for the night so be it, and those who wish to continue so be it.

We will all be together at the end of the trail.

Should be fine. It's not fancy but there are plenty of sleepin spots a hot shower and a real country breakfast courtesy of my aunt Aggie.
When it gets closer to time I'll make the arrangements if that's what we want to do.
