Good time of the year in Florida for riding!!!
#1



We had a Chamber of Commerce Sunday on the west coast of Florida... just had to
take advantage of it. I left the beach at 10:00 and followed a MadMaps route that started
north of where I live in Wesley Chapel. After a short ride up I75, I headed east on route 54
to Branchbourough, then north on 471 to Bushnell, then west on 476 (yes, there are twisty's
in Fla), to US 19. US19 south past Weeki Wachee Springs, then over to 597 and 595
south past Hernando Beach, then down US19 again to ALT19 through Tarpon Springs,
then down to Dunedin and out to Caladesi Island then back to Treasure Island.
234 miles from 10:00 am until about 5:15. A couple of stops for gas, a bite to
eat, and a Starbucks Break at 3:30. A great day! The more I ride this bike, the
more impressed I get!! [Image: e5789528820777a8698f14f507feedd5.jpg]
This is the route I took... The GREEN circle, #13

A sleepy little town (Zepherhills)...

Lunch!! A Cuban sandwich, tomato soup, and a diet coke...yummy!

Ran out of road... near Lake Lindsey off 476. I had to get my
GPS out... before I got too lost.

Old Florida.... Spanish Moss.

Of course... I'm in Florida... so here's a water shot
near Caladesi Island.

Sorry... this one slipped in. Hey, in July when you guys
are out enjoying the mountains, we're stuck inside in the A/C
because it's WAY too hot to ride. You can get back at us then...

A great day on a really good motorcycle!
