Let's plan a ride soon if we can find us a warm weekend.

Btw, who's serious about starting to plan a road trip to Key West for June or July? I am!

Already talking to Tony about it, I'm in!

Sweet, I am in for a trip!

KEY WEST

@Sipper' @BlueJeepYJ @ally99 and anyone else contemplating the Key West trip.

I have been planning a ride to Key West for a while. My plan uses interstates as little as possible but of course that makes for a longer trip. My plans are as follows (I have a very detailed route but here is an overview):

DAY1: Atlanta to Tampa / 525 miles / 9 hours of riding (no interstates)
DAY2: Tampa to Key West / 440 miles / 8 hours of riding (no interstates)
DAY3: NO RIDING - JUST ENJOY KEY WEST

DAY4: Key West to Ormond Beach, FL / 450 miles / 8 hours of riding (some interstates)
DAY5: Ormond Beach, FL to Atlanta, GA / 440 miles / 8 hours of riding (little interstate)

???QUESTION IS WHEN????

***PICS ARE FOR INCENTIVE PURPOSES HAHAHAHA!***

fleemos · January 8th, 2014, 12:39 PM

That sure looks good with what the weather has been like here of late. Not too cold this weekend but rain again.

ally99 · January 8th, 2014, 04:44 PM

YESSS! Early to mid-June gets my vote before the unbearable July heat arrives.

I'm wondering though, there is a chance after all that riding, I may decide to stay down there an extra day. No pressure for all of you to do the same as I'm fine and dandy doing things on my own, but if anyone else is intrigued by the idea of 2 days, let me know.
I'm sure I'll take a bit of a detour on the way back since I won't be going to Atlanta. Otherwise, the route looks awesome!

I'm so excited!

Sipper' · January 8th, 2014, 06:59 PM

I was hoping for a 'less interstate' route. Good job. Cannot wait for this trip, and yes, I will stay a couple days also!

My only question, How's the key lime pie down there?

Oh yeah, we're gonna sure find out!

Throwing out dates. How about the first or second week in June?

My schedule is pretty flexible, so anytime is good.

BlueJeepYJ · January 9th, 2014, 08:42 AM

@ally99 -- Congrats on Member of the Month!!!

Ok folks, its time to knock the dust off and come out of hibernation and start planning a ride.

Lets plan Saturday, January 25th for a winter 2014 kickoff ride. How does that work for everybody??

This will be an exciting year, trip to Key West and at least one track day! Lets do it!

vman1313 · January 9th, 2014, 11:45 AM

I have the summer off so the amount of days IN Key West or anywhere else for that matter don't matter to me. One suggestion/though I had was since we would be getting into Key West semi early on DAY2, we would have time to explore and enjoy DAY2 there and then DAY3 would be a full day in Key West and maybe another full day at Coco Beach or Daytona or Savannah or somewhere else on the way back where there might be some cool roads or scenery.

JUST WONDERING: I know the summer would be fun but just curious if anybody would be up for possibly doing this Spring Break...leaving Sunday April 6 and coming back April 11 or 12? Weather pending of course!

My Spring Break is the week before, so that won't work for me.

I think the only downside to going springbreak is all the extra traffic.

I wondered if yours would be the same as mine!?!?! I might be gone all of June was the only reason I mentioned it...how early June do you think you could go?

Xz1atl · January 10th, 2014, 11:28 AM

Not to sidetrack the convo...put um does anywhy have a flywheel puller or know where I can rent one?

I could go the first week. I guess July is an option too. The weather might be a bit hotter, but let's make it work so that the most folks can go.

ally99 · January 10th, 2014, 02:54 PM

Maybe everyone should post dates they are NOT available and we can see what that leaves us with?

fleemos · January 20th, 2014, 09:31 PM

If Key West happens in June and my current project goes accoring to plan then I'll be there. You guys just plan and if I can make it then I will. Sucks I won't be able to make the 1/25 kickoff.

Does anyone want to brave the cold and go to bike night at Cycle Gear Roswell this Wednesday night?

There's no IF! It's gonna happen!

I think we do need to try to solidify some dates relatively soon. Anyone have any preferences or objections for the first week or two in June?

Right... I don't have heated gear nor the cold tolerance to be out on a bike in this weather, I don't hardly even like riding in a cage in these temps

ally99 · January 23rd, 2014, 09:14 AM

I rode to school one day last week...a dark, 35 degree morning with no heated gear. All was fine except for my fingers. I wanted to amputate those bitches for like 2 hours after arriving at school. They HURT!

Obviously windchill is a factor but I have decided that 43 degrees is the lowest I can enjoy myself in --- 42 and under and I am MISERABLE!! ((It took alot of MISERABLE days to figure that out baaahahahaha!!)) For me its my face/neck/throat...I have tried everything and I still get too cold in that area.

I totally agree...low 40s is usually my limit, but sometimes I step outside my comfort zones for the hell of it...to test my personal limits. I haven't ridden in the 30s since then though.

I layer up and wear a fleece jacket/pullover under my leather jacket and my neck stays warm. I never notice my face getting too cold. What kind of helmet do you have?

Yeah, I push my limits sometimes when I cant stand it no more and just have to ride! Hahaha!! Usually only for 15-30 minutes though.

I have a Scorpion ex300 and a few others but none keep me warm. I even have worn a bacala, ski mask, scarf, trash bag, burrito wrap, etc etc etc. I have tried everything and my neck/lower face is the one place i cant keep warm

Xz1atl · January 25th, 2014, 12:40 AM

I actually rode on the coldest day in janurary... finger tips were done... bike even game me issues.... its in the shop as we speak (starting issues) WHY CANT THINGS BE SIMPLE

TnNinjaGirl · January 27th, 2014, 08:05 PM

I may be in for a few hours, but I have evening plans. Keep me updated on the plan. If y'all want to head east, I know of some REALLY COOL SPOTS out here! Watson Mill Bridge state park is one of them. Other beautiful options on scenic roads out here too! And Athens has YUMMY eating!

ally99 · January 30th, 2014, 04:02 PM

Don't all chime in at once now.

it's already Thursday folks. Lets ride!
