Hi Brent,

Re: Key West Rally January 2008

Riding in warm weather in Janruary is nothing new or special for XSives living in tropical south FL. But Perhaps some of the local XSives will come by & enjoy the tire kicking etc.

I bekieve that DR. Tim will lead us to lunch in Islamorada Tuesday on our way to Key West. Only 5 or 6 more weeks.

Phil, Do you know when you will be arriving in Atlanta? When we can leave heading South. Ga heritage trail is nice, through the pecan orchards...several good route ideas...
Let me know.

Hi Brent,
I plan to arrive Friday to be ready for a Saturday start. Does that still work? Pecan orchards sounds like something we should do. Any other sights to include along teh way. Hwy 19 did a good job getting me to Georgia so would be happy to follow it further south.
