True! Big jams the area between Rossmeyers any Iron
Horse. I'm sure some were for running the stop light coming offI95. Just saying to be careful as there were more cops there than I have ever seen before. Just trying to give a heads up.

So no, ain't nobody gettin' any breaks for anything. Anyway that's always been my experience.
I'm leaving for there on 3/18. We rent a house in Ormond every year, after bike week is gone. The older I get, the more I hate crowds. I like walking into the Beaver Bar for breakfast on Sunday mornings without elbowing my way through or scrambling to get a seat.

I think this is year 9 for me. Usually we do last week of March/1st week of April but we're a little early this year.
I'm not worried about it. We don't hit Main St. that much anyway. Maybe a couple at Dirty Harry's & Main St. Station. Walden's is my favorite little dive.

I've never gone for Sunday breakfast and it wasn't wall to wall crowded. Tough to find a seat any Sunday of the year. You must get there really early.

Yeah, we usually do try to get right there upon opening. Last time it was a little cool that morning. Got a seat on the porch but had to eat quick before it got cold!
I see you're in Palm Coast. I've got a good friend in Bunnell with quite an underground utilities/land clearing business. We spend a little time over that way at the Bimini and Finn's in Flagler.
