I did this ride with another 50+ member (rtool) a couple years ago. We loved it. The ride was well organized, the food was great and overnight facilities were good. We chose the indoor camping option but many were camping. Indoor camping was never crowded and we avoided one night of rain!

I have heard good things about it. I have never gone on it. I usually go on the similar Florida Bicycle Safari held in April at Live Oak and Cherry Lake FL.

All these kind of remarks do is invite an ill-tempered right winger to fire back about Biden or Obama, then everyone's feelings gets hurt, and then no one talks about bikes and they carry on about politics, and otherwise very nice and civil people start making startlingly outlandish statements, and anyone with an ounce of sense runs for cover.

I would be doing it but it is right about the same time as the MS 150. I'm wondering why they scheduled two major rides right about the same time?

Don't worry RedC we all get along here and noone is put out. AS Denver says, We are 50+ and we can discuss things and even disagree here and not get carried away.

About thirty years ago, I encountered a gentleman who was spending his retirement riding his bike all over North America. He told me some harrowing stories about riding in FL, including having folks cut all his spokes while he was in a store. In light of that, I am thrilled that there is such a thing as Bike Florida. Sometimes the times change for the better.
