Meet up at 8:00 AM at Speedway, 300 E Buena Vista Dr, Lake Buena Vista, FL to depart PROMPTLY at 8:30 AM.

After meeting up dear Disney, Bill Lumsden will lead us on about a 3 hour back road ryde with a rest stop to Floral City, FL where we will tackle the Gobbler. The Gobbler is a twistie, turny street through parts of Floral City. It’s a residential area so the turns and twists are fun but not high speed. After the Gobbler we’ll have lunch at The Cove Pub and Grub, 1242 S Cove Camp Pt, Inverness, FL.

Our return trip back to the Speedway is 3+ hours with a rest stop. There are convenient dropping off points for ryders as the back road return crosses the FL Turnpike, Rte 27, Rte 441 and other more direct routes for ryders to head home.

This should be a FUN but long day on the road.

We may be in Florida but we still have our traditions. Join our amazing VP this year in our third annual Polar Bear Ryde. Make sure you bring a towel because you could get wet! Mark your calendars and save the date for the first ryde of the year.

This year’s ryde will take us North through part of the Ocala National Forest as we head towards Flagler and Ormond by the Sea. Prior getting to the Ocean we will ryde through Tomoka Marsh Aquatic Preserve, otherwise known to us Motorcycle folks as the twisties of Highbridge.
