Bike Florida - Looking for Riding Buddy
Is anyone in the MD/DC/VA area interested in joining me on a Bike FL trip? I'd be driving down early morning (3:30 am) March 26th to Gainesville, FL. Saturday and Sunday are registration days with short rides in the area. The actual tour begins on Monday morning in various cities around Gainesville - approx. 300 mi. in a loop back to Gainesville, ending on Friday, April 1. I'd drive back on Saturday, April 2.
Looking for someone to help share the cost of gas, cost of hotel room if you prefer to stay in hotels vs. camp, and share the experience.

Bike Florida - A Gray Cloud
I finished the Bike FL event last week in Gainesville. It was a nice time of meeting new people and riding in warm, sunny weather for just a couple of days before the overcast skies, rain and threat of tornadoes came upon us. The bad weather (lightning and tornado warnings) kept us off the bikes one day. On Wednesday there was a fatal accident where one of the cyclists was hit by a distracted driver. We were all so saddened after learning about this gentleman's death.
