I wish I could do something like that but that having to go to work every day puts a damper on the idea. Be careful and post us some pics.

If north central Florida is part of your route, namely Gainesville, lunch or dinner and a beverage or two are on me! No more than that, gotta ride safe

I should warn you, though, there ain't $%&^ for curvy roads to ride around here.

Sounds like a great ride! Good luck and enjoy!
