It’s that time again to get your Twisties in a bunch. One of our favorite rydes.

Meet up: 9:00 am at Central Florida PowerSports, 2575 N Orange Blossom Trail, Kissimmee, FL.
Depart: Promptly at 9:30 am.
Distance: 78 miles
Time: Approximately 3 hours (includes a re-hydration stop)

A great ryde on some amazing roads never before ridden by many of our Central Florida Chapter members. This route has plenty of twists and turns plus elevation changes. Road quality varies from highway to county road to rural road. Ryde by plenty of lakes, through orange groves, see cattle and get some nice views from several of the hills along the route. We’ll end the ryde at the Lake Alfred Diner. A great spot where they serve both breakfast and lunch.
