waylap Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Looking forward to seeing everyone again! But 600 miles round trip for BBQ? OOOoooooof It must be some good eats. I'll be heading out around 5am and hopefully the weather will cool a little. I like getting underway before sunrise with the satelite radio and empty roads to keep me company. Say, what about lunch sometime in a lower lattitude.....like Key West Link to comment

tallman Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 John, based on yesterday's wxperience on I 4 and the Turnpike, I'd have some good alternate routing planned. This Saturday, Pm to confrim time. We need aabout 30 minutes to get from Gaile Ave to Lamont. Link to comment
Calvin (no socks) Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Key West.... I'd rather have a stick in the eye. Disney World, yea, thats the ticket..er.. I could see me and my pal, Mickey kickin back with a cool one... Didn't we just have Biketurkey fest...way, way down south...in Astor. Lets talk about it next Saturday. Link to comment
tallman Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 After Seminole bowl victory we hung out and tailgated for a while. (After staying way past end of game to see/hear Wisconsin band). Got on I 4 and spent the next couople of hours doing parade duty as we crept towards Disney/Universal exits. Never again. Probably could've driven the 250 miles home in the time it took to go over to Rich's house in L of L. Oh well, we got to spend some nice time with him and his family. Orlando traffic sux. (Not to mention the Turnpike shut down Sat. a.m. with too much taffic for the 2 lane road.) Did a U turn at the first plaza (legal, before getting Turnpike ticket) but did incur the wrath of a frustrated Trooper Looking forward to Saturday. Link to comment

tallman Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 We weren't heading home. We were going to Land O'Lakes. My response was to the yay Disney! I've been to Orlando many times, particularly for Volleyball tournaments and have been to the Dusney Complex for tournaments. Can find my way around, just getting less inclined to want to do so anywhere nearst the Mouse. Yes, if we'd have 408/FTP/75 north from the Citrus Bowl we could've been north of G'vil by the time we got near Tampa. But, I hadn't reached my quota of 250,000 brake lights yet. In retrospect we would have been better off to head up to 50 and cross through the Mascotte and picked up 75 north of Tampa... Besides, wanted to deliver present to Rich's gdaughter. The trip home yesterday was quite nice. Link to comment

waylap Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hopefully I'm ariving a little early for some coffee and down time it's about 4.5 hours for me. My daughter decided she wants to go too. She usually rides with me but I didn't think she would be up for the 4:30 wake up call so it will be real nice to have my buddy as company. Link to comment
Lets_Play_Two Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Penelope and I plan to leave about 6am which really means 6:30am. About 4+ hours for us. Guess we will miss the coffee hour. Plan to stay in Tarpon Springs Saturday night. Link to comment
