Wake up and smell the Oranges!  We'll ryde through the fragrant orchards south to Lake Placid. One of Florida's prettiest small towns, Lake Placid boasts nearly 50 outdoor murals adorning its downtown buildings. We will cruise through the town and view many of their murals. There will be some great photo opportunities on this ryde.

The Ryde will be 215 miles of back roads both down and back. We will meet up at Central Florida PowerSports at 9am and will depart by 9:30.  Our first rest and only fuel stop will be 68 miles in to the trip in Avon Park.  We will then ryde to lunch at Jaxson's in Lake Placid.  After lunch we will tour downtown Lake Placid before making our way home back to Kissimmee again via back roads. Our ryde will end in Kissimmee at about 4:30pm.
