Day 24 Final riding day St Augustine to Daytona Beach Fl

2011-10-15

53 Mile ride into Biketoctober 2011

Pictures all around at the hotel in St. Augustine. Jim, Jack, Peter and myself set out just cruising along until Stuart passed us. Well, we have been the fast riders almost every day and this gets us excited. Off we go, leaving Stuart and speed into Daytona Beach.

This is pretty much what we have done every day. We just like to ride fast in a disciplined pace line.

Daytona Beach is hosting biketoctober 2011. There are thousands of motorcycles in this city. From what I tell they just ride around revving their engines.

The trip has been a blast. Good roads, good weather, all in safely, and most importantly great friendship.

This will be my last posting for this trip. Thanks to all who have followed it.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading the posts from beginning to end - albeit only this morning. Especially compared to the XC trip, you made this sound almost easy, but another impressive ride! More importantly, I think, the camaraderie your group shared came across loud and clear. Nicely done! Sent 2011-10-22 from Steve Taylor

Way to go guys! Sent 2011-10-15 from Wally Herrala

Those bikers may be able to rev their engines but you could take 'em in a foot race. Sent 2011-10-15 from 60
