As for the routes, I think we talked about having a list for everyone to sign up. If I can get some routes early enough, I can print up a couple of maps of each route. This way, if someone wants to do their own ride, and do not have a GPS, they have something as a guide. Just a thought.

What sort of routes do you want? How far? Where to? How many? I know the area around here reasonably well and can get some routes if you want. Let me know.

Hey Murdock, The Florida Crew is made up of members of this forum from all over the state, and some from out of state, who like to ride, but don't want to be tied to rules or the things that cause distractions. This will be the third rally and has grown from year to year. We all get to together and ride or meet up somewhere to eat, or do overnighters. Come out and join us and I guarantee you will enjoy yourself and laugh and laugh and laugh.
Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been thinking of writing a short history of "The Florida Crew" in a thread of this section.

Welcome to the Fla Crew gmurdock!!! You will be sorry if you miss the rally now that you have discovered the Fla Crew section! What is the Fla Crew you ask? Well it is self explanatory really. We are Bike owners , not necessarily Harley owners, That love to ride and meet up and get a burger and then ride home again, Our creed is "No Rules, Just Ride" and we as a group are sticking to it. So if you do not like to ride IE: Just have a bike but do not really love riding, then this group will not be a good idea to get involved in, But if you share our passion for the 200 mile burger then you have struck gold in your search for riding buddies. Great people from all walks of life are represented here, and our common bond is the open road and then meet up at the end of our quest. Nothing like stopping three times and picking up members on the way to your destination, and dropping them back off on the way home. We have lots of great members in your area that just love to ride, and after all, Thats what the Fla Crew is all about . Rule Makers need not apply!!! Again Welcome and hope to see you on a ride soon!

I am making this rally come hell or high water!!! Got screwed out of it last year at the last minute by a co-worker.

However, if you have a route that you just love, then map it out, make a GPS file and post it. The routes should be no more than 3-4 hours in length.

Yeah... welcome gmurdock! I think the Florida Crew has been well explained~ OP is actually the Original Post~ The first post in any given thread~ Since we all have a hard time stayin on topic in any thread... the OP will be updated with any ride/meet info that can get lost in the constant good humored banter throught said thread~ Such as BDM's infamous moobie shots along the road side... or Philip's hazing for runnin out of fuel along one ride... or.. well you get the picture~ Hope that helps...

I think cHarley has several routes from last year. They seem to be good. Unless someone wants to create new ones, but why re-invent the wheel. What do you think cHarley?

Like last year, I will put up a "Ride Pack" on my Server with the GPS files in universal .gpx format so they can be downloaded. These files should work for anyone with a GPS that supports loadable "Route Files".
I someone wants to submit a ride/route for inclusion in the Ride Pack, please do not wait until the last minute. It takes time to get the data converted into a GPS map and checked for accuracy and GPS idiosyncrasies.
As we found out last year, routes that cross back over themselves really confuse a GPS and require extra work to ensure they run properly.
If you want to submit a route, please do so prior to Oct. 1st.
Since we always have a few "technically challenged"
people who want a paper map, a volunteer who want's to make said maps would be useful.
