St. Augustine Ride

Posted in Rides on June 18th, 2007

Wow! What a ride! Good Ole Chile, he wore my ass out. Can you believe it 286 miles and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Could not ask for a better day in June in Florida. Chile, Yoda, Jay Longhitano, Bandana, Hedge and me rode over and met Bowtie and Rico for breakfast at Dan’s and off we went. Bandana and Bowtie had to break off at 40 while we took off and found ourselves about 10 miles from St. Augustine. Chile found 13 along the St. John’s River and we stopped for some grub at a little place called the Outback Crab Shack. It was a welcome break as we logged over 150 miles to this point. On the way back, we stopped for a little refreshment at OB’s and it was off for home. What a day! No rain and a nice breeze, especially if you were moving. And we did a lot of that! My friend Jay said he was done when we finally got back to Avalon so he decided not to ride to Sebastian Inlet with the Long Winded Idiots on Sunday. I can’t say I blame him. Anyway, I hope everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful Father’s Day. Chooch, hope you had a great weekend too. You did a great noble thing, so I hope the kids had memorable time. I hope you had fun too!

Posted in Bike Festivals on June 17th, 2007

We all had a great time at Leesburg Bikefest again this year. Boy, what a crowd. Lot’s of cool bikes, hot women, and cheesey vendors. And of course in Leesburg they let you walk around downtown with your beer in hand.
