I hear Honda makes a nice fuel efficient bike

JD, I have the Walmart as my target, but was planning to leave at 6:30-7am to make it in time for the meetup there. With all of the bails, one in the NE quad remains ... Whistler. He's 70yrs+, is a veteran, and has 70 or 80 Patriot Guard honor missions under his belt (all over the state of Florida), and is one of the very few ready to head out for a 135mi 2hr 45min ride with a 15-25mph headwind when the temps are dipping into the 30's.

If he wants to leave at 7:30am, we're leaving at 7:30am. I think that'll be just short of making the Walmart on time, but then again, he's a rider along with the best of them, so if we're doing 80-85mph, we might hit Walmart in time for the meetup. We'll be riding 2-lanes, but don't expect much traffic. If we rip it up, we could make up the 1/2hr-45mins. We'll see.

Just got a call, and another (Cliff) is joining Whistler and I, so now we're 3. 4 if TJD comes up our way vs riding the southern route.

I understand, I was just joshing you. Stay warm ride safe because you have 10 beers to drink. 5 stops = 10 beers. See you in Ft. meyers.

hey 2 beers,
i think i'm going to just fly solo this morning and go I 75.
i don't want any witnesses seeing me whimper about how cold it is
i figure after the first 50 miles or so, i'll just be numb and won't feel it..
ride safe everyone..
Dave
