Default I'm ADDICTED!!!

Well, after completing the MSF course last weekend and tooling around the neighborhood since, the guys took me out today for a nice ride. We cruised the back-wood roads of East Central Florida putting about 100 miles on the odo. I have to say I was nervous but after about 15 minutes that feeling went away and I felt like a kid in a candy store. When we got back home I was really wanting to continue riding but everyone had something to get done, including myself (I guess the lawn is never going to quit growing this winter). I can't wait for our next outing this Thursday. I can't believe how much fun it was which leaves me to ask the question, "why didn't I do this sooner?"

If anyone in the Central Florida area can suggest any areas to ride, I'd greatly appreciate you sharing.

Thanks.

Oviedo is on the NE side of Orlando. The runs you're looking to do are a bit much for me at this time as both of my boys are playing football and baseball starts in a few weeks. So my riding will consist of Sunday morning jaunts like this morning.

Mt. Dora sounds good. I'd like to check out more of Lake County.

That's okay. The winter in Texas is between December and Febuary. Everything else is awesome. Besides. Between March and October we never get rain. I know for a fact in the summer months it rains at least once a day in Florida!!! So..HAHAHAHA!!

From April to October it does rain almost daily. But only for 15 minutes and it dries in time to go out for an evening ride. How are you coping with the ice storm?
