Upcoming Weekend Rides, Feb 7 & 8, 2009

Members,

This weekend is promising to be a Motorcyclist Bonanza!

First we have the Annual Sea-Food Festival on Saturday, February 7th.

For those living in Broward and points north, meet at Rick Case Honda Powerhouse at 7:15 a.m., Saturday morning. Side stands up at 7:30 sharp. I route will take us south on US 27 and Krome Ave for our first stop at 4-Corners (Krome Ave and Hwy 41) where we will meet those living in Dade and points south. A short leg stretch and top off the fuel tanks and its back on the road at 8:15 am heading west on Hwy 41 to Everglades City. There is nothing like cooking fish early in the morning. http://www.evergladesseafoodfestival.com/ Some ask why leave so early? The simple answer is parking! Tens of thousands of people come to this annual event, by arriving early, we get to park relatively close. Arriving after 10 am means a long walk or paying $$ for parking. Some members like to stay for the day and listen to various bands and more. Others like myself prefer to eat, walk off the food, eat again, then head home. Our return trip will give you the option of back via Hwy 41 or I-75 for those living north.

Second and more importantly, the 5th Annual South Florida Ride for Kids, Sunday, February 8th.

If you have never gone on a club ride before, but receive my emails, this is one ride you need to attend. Especially this year! The Gold Coast Rider’s Club was the number 1 club last year in both attendance and money raised. Therefore we get to lead the ride in this year’s event! Doug Johnson will lead the club from Rick Case Honda Powerhouse to Pompano Airport and the Goodyear Blimp Base. Meet at Rick Case Honda Powerhouse at 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning with a full tank of gas. Side stands up at 7:45 a.m. sharp! The goal is to arrive at the Goodyear Blimp Base no later then 8:30 a.m. The event costs $35.00 per motorcycle and will get you the ride, ride pin, light breakfast, and lunch. For only $15.00 more you will also get a t-shirt. You will have a great time and leave knowing that you made a difference. After the ride, join us for the Celebration of Life under the tent, then get a close up view of the Goodyear Blimp Spirit of Innovation. Make sure you bring your camera!
