Too bad we can't clear things up a little better for Bike Week. Did you encounter any road construction once you left Florida mainland and got on the Keys?

Down in the keys we traveled pretty easy but long. Its alot of stopping when you get into the towns. And I was really surprised how long it actually takes to get from mainland to key west. Glad we stayed the night just south of homestead before riding to key west.

A lot of people are surprised about the long drive to Key West. Used to live in north FL and I'm quite aware what the winter can bring. As much as I would like to go to bike week in the spring I will just wait for Biketoberfest in the fall, the weather seems to be more predictable. Glad you had a good time. Did you stay overnight in the Keys, if so, where?
