Bernie Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) This years event will be on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at The Tipsy Cow Bar & Grill, which is the restaurant upstairs. They open at 11:30 AM. Normally @tallman and @Kinsley used to organize this event, but both are absent from the forum and I think it is a great event that should continue in future. So dust of your bikes and join me (Bernie) and others for lunch at the sea side. PS: if you and your friends think you can make it , leave me a post here, so I can warn the restaurant about the invasion. As for local motels for over night stays, check the posting in the calendar section for more information.

9Mary7 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 That it would! We are supposed to get our first snow in Spokane this afternoon/tonight.......... so if I could get away, I couldn't get back till spring. Link to comment
Bernie Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Well, Florida is open and there is lots of room. Bring a tent or a camper and hang out till Mid-Spring. Link to comment

Lowndes Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Does anyone have any experience or recommendations on overnight accomodations in Cedar Key, either hotel, motel, camping, air bnb?? Considering a Fir nite and Sat nite stay, just to make sure. Link to comment

Considering a Fir nite and Sat nite stay, just to make sure. Personally I have never stayed in Cedar Key, FL overnight. Kinsley and @tallman used to stay the weekend. There are several small Motels and B-B places. Also Gainesville is only a short ride away. AirBnb has this information: AirBnb in Cedar Key, FL Visit Florida Guide Google Maps will make a few more suggestions. Kinsley made the following suggestions a couple years ago, of course I don't know what is open due to Covid-19: 1 Link to comment

Lowndes Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Hey!! Saw this little motel in Cedar Key. Sprinkle a few dozen GS's and RT's around the parking lot and this could be an *ART motel!! We'd have to come up with a different name, tho, maybe Terrible Urban Ride Destination. Looks like a water crossing out there worthy of Indie Dave. http://www.cedarkeybeachfrontmotel.com/ 1 1 Link to comment
roadscholar Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Sunrise from the Beach Front Motel, we stayed there on the 1st Trans Fla ride in 2013. 1 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I think that’s the place we stayed when me and Jim did the TFR! It was fine. 1 1 Link to comment
Lowndes Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 It's just so hard to find a popular, quiet, quaint resort anymore that hasn't been discovered by people. 2 1 Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I forgot about my previous post, but I have calculated and decided to go. Fresh tires, good fuel, so no excuse. Hopefully, ride down on Friday with a few folks and ride back on Sunday. IN!! See y'all there. 3 Link to comment
Chris K Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 At this point I am 50/50. Hopefully things will fall in place so I can go. 1 Link to comment
BamaJohn Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 If the weather cooperates, I'm planning to go. Today's the first day in 11 days that turned the corner on pneumonia....don't want that again in January. Link to comment

Well, it's WARMER there, so maybe we should go. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (I was actually thinking about leaving my bike in Sacramento at my son's house, or down in San Diego County, at a buddies house, and then fly out a couple of times in the winter for riding. However, either way, the edges of the tires would end up being bald, cause neither my son or my buddy would be shy about putting miles on it, "just to keep it running well" during storage. 😏 Maybe next winter.) 1 Link to comment

It sounds more like a SOLUTION ... to NW winter. Ride the SW/SE USA for three months ... 1 Link to comment

Plenty of places to pitch a camp along the Gulf. A little warm sun would probably help also. 2 Link to comment

Bernie Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Looks like we should have a nice turn out. Especially if the weather cooperates. On Facebook, I have also received a few commitments and a few “interested” remarks. I guess, I better give the restaurant a call and let them know about the planed invasion. 2 Link to comment

Bernie Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thank you everyone that came despite the bad weather. I hope some of you can make the February SECFF lunch and hopefully it will be a little warmer. I stopped for gas outside of Chiefland. While enjoying some hot coffee, this ostrich wanted also something warm. 5 Link to comment
