    Default Green Swamp Tour Spyder Ryde anyone???

    How about a group ryde on 23 Jun... A Green Swamp Spyder Ryde ... Pending weather of course.... Meet at the Waffle House off exit 301 on I75 east on 98 at 8:00/8:30 am... Waffle House on the left...


    Scenery

    A scenic tour of the Green Swamp Preserve and some nice rural roads. Allow two hours for the ride plus gas and food stops. The Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve is an official Florida protected area found in the adjoining corners of three different counties - Sumter, Lake, and Polk. This is a large preserve consisting of 560,000 acres of wetlands, flatlands, and low ridges. Sections of the area are bounded by well defined and visible sandy ridge lines. The rainwater that flows across the surface to help form the headwaters of four major rivers: the Withlacoochee, the Ocklawaha, the Hillsborough and the Peace. The protected status of the area and as well as the nice collection of natural water bodies combine to form a nice quiet & rural feel that motorcycle riders from all around the area ride in to enjoy.


    Road Quality

    This one has lots of twisties for Florida and a good amount of nice rural riding. Another bonus is you will find very little traffic to get in your way.



    At the end of the ryde we can eat at

    Butchs Seafood
    5709 6th St, Zephyrhills, FL 33542

    or at

    Golden Corral
    6855 Gall Blvd
    Zephyrhills, FL

    Or at any other option that's offered....

    More information on this ryde at http://www.motorcycleroads.com/75/16...-of-Tampa.html


    Do we have any takers???

    Sounds like a GREAT!! ride Dan. Unfortunately, Forrest and I will be returning from the Owners Event. Is this a ride that we could do on the 30th instead. Let me know and I will post the event either way for you.
