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

Spyder F3 Demo Truck Day @ CFPS  9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Oct 25th

This will be an exciting day at Central Florida Powersports to test ride the new 2015 F3 Spyder.   Let's all show up to have fun, to show support for CFPS,  and to sample the latest design and technology that BRP/CFPS has to offer us.  The more we learn about the design of this bike it would seem to be a great experience to ryde it whether or not you like its appearance.  to make advance reservation go to site below and avoid waiting at the event.

Craig Anders of the Project Road Warrior organization will be a special guest at the Oct 25 Demo Day event at CFPS. We can meet Craig and talk about possible activities together in this coming year. This makes for an even more exciting day!
