Auto Train

[Sandysandals]

Do you live up Nawth? Want to do a one way to Florida that's fun? Try the Auto Train. I will be doing that again this year, from THIS end. Board in Sanford, Florida (45 minutes from Daytona or Orlando) and and taking the Spyder to Lorton, Virginia. It's an overnight trip on the train and only a 2 hour ride from Lorton to the start of the Blue Ridge. You do have to pay for a car pallet for the Spyder since it will not fit on a motorcycle pallet. It is not as expensive as you might think. Coach fare for one is around $106 and for the Spyder is around $235 (went up from $185 ). A motorcycle is $135. This will be our 'girls' trip again this year in June and I'm looking forward to it. At the end is the Tail Of The Dragon, but we've done that several times, so this time we will explore Blue Ridge 'spurs' and take in more roads and scenery. This is a fun trip for anyone and a challenge for women alone. But it's a good time all around.

LOOK AT THIS ROAD

Been down there and thought the " RATTLER " was way more fun and interesting, also way less traffic. I think the road is 209......But someone may know better .......Mike :thumbup:

I will be there, along with 2 other spyders and a load of M109s in June (6/10-6/14). Maybe we will see you there:thumbup:.
