Not exactly Rick. If I do it, I ride to 10 to jacksonville, then 95 to miami, then41 to naples, then 75 to ocala. I'm on the fence right now. The cold really takes it toll on your endurance.

Chris,
That will be one hell of a long ride. I am with you on the cold. It definitely takes the fun out of riding. Heading back up to N.Carolina on Thursday to meet friends and then to Deals Gap and Knoxville. Really looking forward to the mountains this trip. Just crossing my fingers for good weather. Ride safe.

Looks like you are going to beat me up there.
I'm headed up Oct. 12th for 2 weeks.
How are the Ocala horse county and forest ride plans coming? When you get the ride routes laid out let me know. I'm planning on making them available from my website so those with GPS's can download the GPS map files ahead of time.

cHarley,
sorry I won't see you in N.Carolina. I just added a Zumo 550 to my Heritage last week so I could capture the routes I have been riding around Ocala. I have been out once with Barry, who did last years route, and we will be getting together again to map some new routes. Also trying to meet up up with Sefferdog to do some forest routes. It is nice being able to not get lost.
As soon as we get them done I will forward to you to look at and post. These GPS devices are really a lot of fun. Definitely give you too much info, but damn it's interesting. Have a safe trip.
