Anybody interested in an XSive Winter Ride to Key West?? 
- Dates: Thinking about meeting up Friday Feb 7th 2014 in Kingsland GA (off I-95) then starting the "Rolling Rally" on Saturday Feb 8th.
- Destination: Key West, Florida
(last year Feb 2013 we did the ride along the Gulf Coast route FL, AL, MS, LA, TX to Galveston so this year we were thinking about meeting up with the bunch-o'-fun South Florida contingent again for this upcoming Feb 2014 ride).
- Route: In 2012 we started in Kingsland GA then headed south along the Atlantic coast. That was FUN so let's do that one again.
As before there is plenty of secure Trailer Parking at Don's place north of I-10 in Tallahassee. Also, the Day's Inn @ Kingsland GA was OK with trailer parking there too for the people trailering down I-95 or I-75 from snow country. (mike p, that doesn't include north Atlanta; you don't need another shortest distance Trailering Award)
I think we already have Don & Jeff & Earl & Ted-Heather planning to ride. Not sure who else just yet. Post or PM if you are interested.
If we did something similar to Feb 2012 the schedule would be something like this:
Fri 7th - Kingsland GA
Sat 8th - Flagler Beach
Sun 9th - Stuart
Mon 10th - Key Largo
Tue 11th - Key West
Wed 12th - Key West
Thu 13th - Florida City
Fri 14th - Fort Myers
Sat 15th - say Leesburg
Riders adjust their return north from Fort Myers based on when they need to get home. Normally Tallahassee and Kingsland groups ride north together to Gainesville then split off NW or NE as they need.
During the week Key West is cheaper and has better availability vs. the weekend. Would be great to meet up the the FLA XSives for some or all of the ride too.
+ we have a BLAST !!! -and- Key West is always a HOOT !!!
So, this is first pass. Nothing specific yet until we figure out who would be interesting in a February Ride. However, we should lock in plans and check motels within the next few weeks (say by Nov 10th) so people can start planning time off and making their motel reservations. So, what ya think??

Like at the grocery store, prices are going UP - UP. Especially anywhere in the Florida Keys where minimum motel prices have jumped +75% in a couple years to $200+ per night (weekdays).
