Horse Country Ride - October 25, 2014

Horse Country Ride in North Central Florida

It's that time of year again for the horse country ride. The Date is set for Oct. 25, with a rain date of Nov. 1. If anyone is interested in this ride please sign the list below and how many that will be with you. The ride starts in Wildwood at the Burger King like last year. It will be departing at 10:00 AM. We will have a BB at the same place as last year about an hour after we start and will end up at the Golden Corral for lunch in Ocala. Sorry Golden Corrals policy is you have to purchase a meal to enter. We check the Lunch prices for Sat. they are $8.69 + drink, If you are 60 or older $7.59 drink included, this does not include tax or gratuity. We thought it would be better for a buffet so everyone could eat at the same time. - John Gercken

AIM EXPO USA - October 19, 2014

AIM EXPO USA Orlando Florida Oct 19th (for public)

www.aimexpousa.com   Last year this indoor American International Motorcycle Expo took the area by storm.  The vendors are too numerous to imagine and the comfort of an air conditioned show is wonderful in the face of our erratic local weather.   Meet up points now Hess Station Clermont SR50 and 455 at 8:30am and Turkey Lake Service Plaza on the turnpike at 9am, the riding together to event.  Admission is $20 but we have 10 free tickets for the first ten folks to sign up.  We expect this show to be at least as large as Biketoberfest and it may well dwarf it...
