Several XSives who have attended this ride & rally have indicated they would like to go again. I have enjoyed it in January and in February.

ride to eat

That sounds like a good Idea.

If I left Atlanta on Ground hog Day...

Does this general time frame work for y'all?

[exquized1]

I wanna go! We will have to see how money goes and if I am on lay-off or not.

[Huron52]

Maybe when I am living down there I be able to go without the long drive first.





Don't anyone read anything it to that now....

Hi Yamahansolo,
no shorter as Florida is a long state. Faster up the freeway though a seriously long day of riding. .Wish i could do this again. it is a fun event

quicker trip

wow is there a shorter return trip for the people who can't use all their vacation?

Yes it is possible to reduce the time by 2 to 4 days, and to reduce the mileage, slightly.

From Atlanta, you could leave 1 day later meeting group in Bradenton.

You could leave 2 days later ride about 725 miles meeting us in FL city.

You could go directly to Key West arriving before us and meet us when we check in or that evening.

Return trip, about the same. You could say bye bye, Leave the group, take the FL turnpike & I-75. Cut 1, maybe 2 days off the trip.

This schedule allows for some delays due to cold, wet, mechanical or personal reasons. If we make good time we can do touristy sightseeing or more back roads. While the trip can be done much quicker, It is not likely with a large mixed group.

So who is in? For what portion(s)? or all?

Indicated in for all of trip:
Brent Hoovestol
Jeff Hallberg
Stewart Shearer

In for Havanna returning to Havanna:
Don Hather

Former Key West riders not attending in 2010, I will miss you. Please let me know if there is a change & you will be there.
James Bates
Gary Conboy
Cody Griffin

Many others have not indicated either way, and some are working out details, hoping to make at least part of trip.

Please indicate soon, and I will post motel accomodations & reservation info.

Hi Brent,
don't count Gary Conboy out just yet. Once you have set you date he may be able to join in.
