Greetings from Perry GA

Good ride last evening with about 90 minutes riding after dark.
Dark on the narrow forested curvy back roads so we took it EZ and safe.

Watching the big orange ball come up out of the east while having a hot coffee. All is good.

No rush in heading south to Lake City. Expect to arrive Rally Central by say 3pm.

Oh, plan on having a Group Dinner tonight for those that are interested in a group dinner.

Jeff, Scott & Mike

I've been in Jacksonville since Wednesday visiting my son. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

[Old Red]

I wish I could be there, but it just didn't workout so I could attend. I hope y'all will have great weekend of safe riding.

Y'all have fun! I wish I was going.

[JeffH]

If bright blue sky, green grass, spring colors, decent temps and a good tailwind make for a good ride, well then we had a good ride across Georgia today.

Even got to enjoy Mullet for lunch at Carter's in Adel.

12 bikes at Rally Central. 8 XS11'S and 4 others. Good showing of 11's this year.

That big orange ball is hitting the western horizon as we walk to restaurant for tonight's Group Dinner.

Our 2020 Suwannee River Rally has begun

Impressive turnout.

Mullet is edible?

[JeffH]

We sure wish that those who wanted to be here with us at this Rally could magically appear and be here.

Mullet is edible?

Yes, good eating. Quite tasty. Bones are a hazard so just need to be careful. Common menu item in some south Georgia restaurants.

Suwannee Update

Advertised this as the "Suwannee River Rally" so thought it would be best to include some Suwannee River. So that's what we did. Romped around Suwannee County then stopped at the Suwannee River for photo and a break. About zero cars on the road out here. Group now at Suwannee River Belle Restaurant in Fanning Springs FLA, of course on the Suwannee River.
A sunny day and a bit cool.

Of course Photobucket debacle put the knife into our enthusiasm for posting pictures, and ruined a lot of our archive photos. Downside of free. Travel PC limping too. Will see what time allows. At least text still works.

Rally continues

Yesterday's lunch at Suwannee Belle Restaurant was local fresh seafood from the Gulf of Mexico. Now we are on the Atlantic side having local catch Atlantic seafood at Musslemans in Palatka. Late start this AM but with the time change can get back to Lake City easily before sunset.

More later ..........

[JeffH]

BTW: that's Musselwhite's Seafood. was a bit road weary typing while waiting for appetizers.

Everybody back aok at Rally Central. Another real good day. 223 miles I think it was.
Bonus ride back through Big Gum Swamp and the Osceola National Forest. very scenic

Later, time for a group dinner
