I am planning to ride the full ride. I moved to west Orlando; kind of over near the theme park world. I have enjoy the move so far; but wish we could turn off this afternoon thunderstorm thing so I can ride a little more after work!

the afternoon thrunderstorm is a killer....... along with the heat....
i'll do the full ride next yr
The thunderstorm thing is just par for the course - the northern half of Florida is the lightning capital of North America after all. Here at UF we've got a whole department that studies it -they launch sounding rockets trailing ground wires into storm cells to induce lightning, like there isn't enough of it already! :)

I will be registering sometime in the next week or so
I will be in Ormond Beach next week and, would be able to ride part of the route one day during the week, but not on Sunday. PM me if you're able to ride on a weekday. Otherwise, I'll probably drive over and ride it anyway.
