Had a Great weekend!

Absolutely though not quite as far as you . It's been a while since I had time to knock out a 300 mile day....That's 1 mile for every CC on my bike and 3 tanks of gas.

I got my camera back so here are some pics from last month’s baptism of my new DRZ.

Brand new clean bike



At the Value Jet Memorial





At the end of Loop Road



It’s getting dirty…



Lunch in Everglades City



An uneventful ride down Jane’s – Hi!





The only picture I have of the aftermath

What route are you guys planning to ride? Levy to Loop Rd,etc ? I may tag along if you are staying off the slab for the most part.

[sanjoh]

Route will be as much dirt as possible. Trying to come into Picayune from the north via Everglades blvd. There may be some "bypasses" so the heavy pigs should be left at home (unless U have a skyhook from the TT catalog).

[hendikaf]

I was thinking the ride was off so I took some work for the weekend . I am available this week or next weekend.

[sanjoh]

Anyone else want to ride tomorrow?

Don't make me go to the mall

It's a shame that the whole route can't be "bypasses". So you are coming in from the North side in Naples ? Anyone on the south end want to make the trip from the Dade corners area ?

Also I don't want to annoy anyone so if you mind cruising at or below 55mph, I may not be the guy to ride with (by the way, my "cruising" speed increases as the tarmac decreases ).
