Meet & Eat Everyone should try and be at Roland & Martin's Tiki Bar (920 EAST Del Monte Avenue Clewiston, FL 33440) between 12:30 and 1 PM, we're plaining on going in at 1PM. If you're planning on coming and if your name is not on the list, please post your name and any friends that might be coming along with you whether they are on two or three wheels. We need to let the restaurant know the head count. On the last post I will be posting times where we will be passing through different towns so, if you want to meet up with the group coming from the north [Ocala ] on US 27, you will be able to do so. Some of us coming from the north part of Florida are staying in Okeechobee Sat. night. Here is a list of motels in Clewiston and Okeechobee.

EAST COAST FLORIDA ROUTE/TIMES A - McDonald’s - Suntree - Wickham Road & I-95 - depart 8:45 AM B - Citgo Quik Mart - Hwy 60 & I-95 (9097 20th S) - Vero Beach - depart 10:00 AM C - 7-11 - Port St. Lucie - St. Lucie Blvd & I-95 - depart 10:45 AM D - Roland & Martins - Clewiston - 920 E Del Monte Ave - arrive 12:30 PM

CENTRAL FLORIDA ROUTE/TIMES A - Race Track --- Lady Lake --- 324 N US Highway 441 --- arrive 6:00AM --- depart 6:15 AM B - Kangaroo Express --- Minneola --- 810 N US 27--- arrive 7:00 --- depart 7:15 C - Visitor Center Parking Lot --- Davenport --- 100 Adventure CT --- arrive 8:00 --- depart 8:15 --- (I-4 & US 27) D - BP --- Frostproof --- 7300 Hwy 27N --- arrive 9:15 --- depart 9:45 --- ( US 27 & W.

Many Spyders are ryding down SR 27 to Ochochobee for Meet & Greet at Roland and Martin Tiki Bar - approx 60 to 80 Spyders expected.  The ryde is going there & back.  There will not be a group ryde while there.  It's mainly a chance for folks from south Florida to meet more active riders from the center of the state.  We could either join with other groups ryding down 27 or stage our own group. My experience on SR 27 with all its traffic lights tells me that over 10 spyders in a group would be a nightmare to try & keep all together.

St.Cloud Law Ride - Blue Knights FL - January 26, 2013

The dignitaries of Osceola County and the St. Cloud Police Department were so impressed with the results of a short notice effort to help one of our St. Cloud Motors Officers in August 2011, they approached us to make this an annual event. Now, the First Annual Osceola Law Ride has been born. Ride starts in St. Cloud, Florida.

Meet up with C2C chapter at CFPS at 8:15 AM to stage to ryde in together so Spyders can be a single pack on the Ryde. You can download registration form from website and fill it out in advance to expedite your registration once we get to the ride site.  This is a 77 mile law escorted (non stop) ride. There will be vendors/ food etc avaiable at the beginning and end of ride.

This would be a great time to bring some food items to CFPS for the Second Harvest Food Bank benefit that will take place February 23, 2013.

St. Cloud PD 4700 Neptune Rd St. Cloud, FL 34769

Attending: Jim & Lisa G, Dutch & Martha J, Louis & Linda C, Hal M, Robert & Kathy M, Jeff J, Larry & Deb J, Chris & Kim G, Jeff Chasik, Maite G, Jose R
