The ride to Margaritaville

nightmare · 08-26-2010, 09:43 PM

I am looking at putting together a monster road trip to Margaritaville (Key West). We have the National Rally coming up in 2011 so it will be in the off year of 2012. It will be any riders that would like to meet us in Oklahoma were we will start from then swing down towards the Gulf picking up riders along the way. You can meet us at any point and travel as far as you like, we will ride the gulf all the way to Florida and then on to its east coast. There will be a days stop in St Augustine to enjoy the countries oldest city, and then if we like we can stop in Daytona Beach for those that havent been there, we can take in any of the Florida attractions that anyone would like to see, and then continue on to Key West for a couple days stay. When we leave we can travel up the west coast of Florida, and take in any sites we like, and then continue on home. This would be a very leisurely paced ride, spanning a couple of weeks, I am just wanting to see if there is an interest doing this, so let me know, it would be a blast!

2012 is a long way off. But, this did peek my interest.

I know its a long way off just trying to see if there is an interest

I'd be interested Vic. That would be a good late Spring ride like April maybe???

**MAS Tequila** · 08-27-2010, 05:35 AM

That sounds like a blast.

But April...are you crazy? Just kidding, but any time near spring break is a madhouse. I lived in south FL for 30 years, and that is the wrong time of year. It is crowded and all the prices go up for tourist season.

The better (off season) months are; Jan, Feb, June, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov.

But different parts of the state will not be the same. Daytona in Feb is season.

A great place on the west coast is Cedar Key, take a look.

I'm in.

Yep Vic.... I'm certainly interested. There's two rides I'd like to take before I get too old to piss.... one is to Glacier National Park and the other is to the Keys. Count me in...as long as there's plenty of Landshark beer.

I'm in but I may have to rob a bank along the way.

Sounds like the Apple Dumpling gang will ride again!

**wanderer** · 08-27-2010, 10:15 AM

I'll be there!

AlabamaNomadRider · 08-27-2010, 11:49 AM

Sounds like a great ride. I'm with Jim in having to rob a bank. That is over a year away so you will have to bring it up again. Some of older guys memories aren't what they used to be.

**Cajunrider** · 08-27-2010, 12:49 PM

Hadn't given spring break any thought. Was thinking more in the line of the weather. June thru September is too hot and humid in south Florida and you stand the chance of rainy weather every day, not to mention tropical systems. Excluding the holiday weeks, late October thru April would yield better weather.

chainsaw · 08-27-2010, 03:44 PM

I'm interested.

**jmorrow** · 08-27-2010, 05:06 PM

We might be willing to tag along and ride shotgun for OB when he rob's a bank.

Anyone wanting to do a fall ride to the Smokies for the leaf change? I have been wanting to do it that last few years but work usually screws it up.
