rmurwin Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 My wife and I would love to ride up if y'all are okay with meeting us new people. She just got a pristine '03 F650GS and she's itchin' for a reason (excuse) to ride it on a trip. I figure this'll be as good a reason as any. Looking forward to meeting all of you. Link to comment
tallman Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Richard, Looking forward to it. Link to comment
waylap Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hey so how many usually are there? I'll be there for my first get together with you folks, arriving Friday evening and staying until Sunday morning. Looking forward to meeting you all. Link to comment
PRC Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hey Bill, Glad you're comin this year! About 60 to 70 is what I counted last year. Slap Bob on the head for me! See ya Saturday! Link to comment
tallman Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Pete, We've seen an increase from about 60/70 to over 100 last year. But, as with all things, number of people will vary due to many different criteria. As people meet us, they may be less likely to show up. Thank goodness there are so many other fine people to get to know. Tallahassee area, we'll meet at the Chevron station on South Monroe and Gaille Avenue for 7 a.m. departure. It will be cold, but warm up. Zach, bring the right gear for Amy . There is a group being organised from the Destin/SeaSide area that Bob Foley is talking with. They would have to leave pretty early to come over, but there are several contemplating that. Other cities, chime in with your meeting places as there are probably riders from Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa, Melbourne, Daytona, etc. who may want to hook up. If you ride over solo or in a small group, don't forget to ask a new friend if they want to head back with your group. Overnighters, any feedback from those of you there on Friday night as to a dinner place for Saturday would be fine. As long as we can watch the sun set over the water, which limits choices. We've always gone to Frog's at lunch and elsewhere for dinner, but 2 meals at Frog's could work if that is the best option. Checking to see if they can handle a group of 20 or so without any problems is fine. In the past we've been able to just tell the restaurant in the early afternoon about the number for dinner and they've accomodated us. Looking forward to it. Link to comment
RichEdwards Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 There will be a Tampa group meeting at Emily's Restaurant on Hwy. 19 in Homosassa. We'll be leaving for Cedar Key from there at 10 a.m. on Saturday but you can get there earlier for one of their great breakfasts. Link to comment

RichEdwards Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Rich, Are you staying for dinner on Saturday? No. A bunch of the Tampa riders are going to Venice, FL on Sunday morning for a lecture by photographer Clyde Butcher (Florida's Ansel Adams.) So we will be heading home after the lunch at Cedar Key.

tallman Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Rick, Lunch is 11 ish, that's when the kitchen opens. But, people will be hanging all day, and overnite, (at least some of us). See Bob Foley's post above for a group just an hour east of you leaving @6. Arrive safely, we'll be there. Are you staying overnight? BTW not certain if it is this Saturday or the next one, but Frog's has 179 Sorority girls booked for dinner one of those evenings. Nobody tell Marty. Link to comment
