or,
Gibtown Bikefest is on Jan 6-7th. This one is close to Tampa.

Just a thought.
Webster is a 25 minute ride for me!

Since you are located in the Daytona Area, why not put something together over this side of the peninsula. It would be a short trip for me but a good destination for some of the long haulers that need an excuse to ride somewhere. You are probably aware that The Florida Crew Rally use to meet in Palaka in November, but Covid did that in.

I'm a neighbor a little to your North in OB. Want to dicuss this Idea more, PM me.

Westerner here... I'd likely ride over, wherever, if the stars aligned...

I liked Palatka as a location .. And the place on the River was nice but guess there were problems and discontinued it there .. Way back when at Ocala was okay but the place has turned into a dump now ..

Why not jive it with something going on like the Civil War reenactment, the battle of Olustee, February 17-19, 2023?

Gibtown, Webster both sound like good Ideas. Not interested in Leesburg bike fest. I haven’t been to any major rally’s since 2016 and I recently went to Octoberfest in Daytona… never again. People have gotten really weird and low. In just a few years it went from some cool stuff and some not cool people to completely not cool people. I doubt I’ll ever attend any large bike deal again. Rather just ride to Sons of Speed races and plan trips with smaller local crews.

There’s a Sons of Speed race in Smyrna in March.
