Sounds like a good time, started to go last fall but could not make it, i will have to talk to the wife tonight and see about getting a room booked. Its approx. 470 mile from venice fl.,, an early days ride...
I'll be headed that way myself and it's about an hour and a half from me. Just a thought, if we get a group of us who are going and we can meet up somewhere and cruise on down in a group. I generally go the back country roads and a good easy trip, good scenery and run directly into 231 and ride on in from there. Not sure if I'll be staying over or what quite yet but I'll surely be going. I hit it twice a year. PM me if you're going and maybe we can get a group ride up.
