Hey Jerry,

I dont think I got it either. Burnt out form the week I guess. Looks like you guys will be in Belle Glade between 9 and 9:30. Once you get to the intersection where 80 and 441 splits at the Palm Beach County Sheriffs substation, turn left towards Belle Glade, go about 2 miles to the red light at Gator BLVD and there is a gas station on your right . We can meet you there.

Sounds like a plan. I know where the station is at 80 and Ave. L (Gator Blvd.), although Mapsource shows it as a Shell station. Its 28 min. from Boonies according to the GPS. Im also up for stopping in to see Bob in MH on the way back if hes up for it.

BTW-The RT run time from Boonies to Boonies is 3:15. (not including stops)

Lets Ride

Just throwing this idea out there.

If we do the whole thing, I will check with Bob and see if wants a quick stop by to say Hi.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; May cheer him up a little. He lives right off the road we will be on. Some of you know who I am talking about.
+1 on visiting with Bob

after catching up on all that readin i think we are going to meet jim&nbsp\\;in belleglade at 9:40. Correct? i would like to ride all the way around. since we are going to belleglade, which is sorta south we might as well keep going from there to clewiston and up to okee. Iron Eagle will be open by the time we get there. i really don't care what we do as long as we ride.&nbsp\\;is it alot further to go west from bellglade and up the west side? not sure. we can't stop at j&amp\\;s at&nbsp\\;10:30?&nbsp\\; I am not sure about everyone else but i have not actually ridden all the way around the lake. &nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

Cranked the bike and rode it this morning to Bob's to see how he is doing.&nbsp\\; I told him about our ride tomorrow and asked what he thought if we stopped by real quick to say hello.&nbsp\\; He said Yea!!! with a twinkle in his eye.&nbsp\\; (He loves bikes)&nbsp\\; I told him it would be just real quick and would not have to come inside.

He is getting around much better and had to take me out to his bike and show me he could throw his leg over his bike. He lifted his right arm to the throttle with his left hand and cranked it.

Wilburz,
It really doesn't matter which way you go since this is my back yard and will be travelling the least amount.&nbsp\\; I will go with whatever you guys want. Since Jerry and Al are coming the farthest and from the south, and if they wanted to go back with less traffic, they may want to go back 27. If they did that, it would probably be best to go the east side first to Okee then around.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nb sp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp \\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Like I said. "Doesn't matter to me, I just wanna ride."&nbsp\\;

Your call Wilburz&nbsp\\; Murph is outa town and you are the GP of this one.

Just picked up my bike from my indy, sure feels good to have fresh rubber and a front brake that dosen't surge. Will meet the south train at boonies at 8:00, east side, west side doesn't matter to me. Looking forward&nbsp\\;to the ride!
