Hello all,

Thinking about maybe heading to Daytona this spring for Bike Week. Looking for some ideas as I have never been. Anything that those of you who have been there. What are the must do's, and the over rated things. Also suggestions on lodging. Has to be a motel/hotel/condo/cabin, not camping. Finally what is your route from the Northeast?

Thanks in advance

 

I,ve stayed at Ormond Beach -Mainsail Days Inn--maybe 1 1/2 miles north of the center of everything--call early for reservation ---enjoy--it,s a bucket list thing Are you riding down or trailering? March is tough here in northeast

You might consider Biketoberfest Oct 13-16

 

Ride the A1A from light house to lighthouse( St Augistine-Ponce Inlet ), Ride the Loop, Broken Spoke at night, Iron Horse, Main Street at night! Eat at the Hidden Treasure Rum bar, Golden Lion, High Tides at Snack Jacks! Checkout St Augustine downtown! Ride over to Patlaka bike bar! I know there is so much more, but these are my favorites!

 

we're going, rooms are booked, gonna follow my buddy around he knows the ropes/loops
2wks in Clearwater, then 4 days in Daytona, then home
trailering down, too cold here in NJ, ya never know what you'll hit on the way..???? snow??

 

I went to Bike week three years straight with last year riding there. It was a cold ride going, but warmer weather on the return. Stayed at the cabbage patch last year with about 20 friends, and had a blast. Destination Daytona, and the speedway are a must for vendors, and the main drag is a zoo for some nighttime fun.

 

Heading down again this year. 28 degrees when we left last year and shirt sleeves when we got home. Week later this year so hoping for warmer weather to start. Lighthouses definitely worth seeing.

 

Been going on and off for last 25 years , midweek the crowd isn't as bad , get a place to stay first thing ( like now ) . Expect traffic and cops everywhere , you can walk a 1/2 mile or so and be back drinking while everyone else is stuck in traffic ( learned that one ) . If you just want a roof over your head some of the places a block off the beach can be reasonable all things considered .
