Default North from the keys

3 couples rented bikes at Peterson's Harley in Miami and headed down to Key West for a couple days, here's a little video I put together, it's most of the bridges from Key west to Card Sound Road. Overall a pretty boring ride, but it was great to be out on two wheels.

"Pretty boring ride"? You didn't like the scenery or bridges that were built way back in 1905-1912 or the sparkling ocean colors or the spectacular sunsets? What did you think you were going to find? Twisties? Switchbacks? Mountain passes?

Please don't misunderstand. I thought it was lovely, scenic, beautiful, all that, but certainly not "exciting" riding, that's all.

On the way down we went over a few bridges after dark with a nasty cross wind, that was exciting, but not in a good way.

Lol at least you weren't stuck in slow traffic all the way up. You were running pretty good. I was down there two weekends ago and coming back there was a wreck that shut the road down. We had a bridge party for two hours.
Nice video
