The in-state fl crew iron butt idea seemed to have faded. Good to see you brought it back up again. Pops lives in Orlando, agreed traffic is bad but nothing like major cities you mentioned. Temps seem to peak either higher or lower being so inland as well, but like everything else you adjust. Good luck on the move kid!
Thanks for the welcomes all! That's good info cHarley. Thanks!
I'm not too concerned with Orlando traffic. We have a fair bit of it here in Atlanta that I have had to deal with since '98.
Dave - I did my second SS1000 on my way to the Ocala Rally in 2008. Had to miss last years, but have had a real good time at the two I have been able to attend.
You can do an in-state Saddle Sore 1000 in FL pretty easily if you want too. I'd be up for another one. I have done one on the bagger yet.

Hey Chris, I remember you. I am formerly wideglide95th. I have changed my screen name. Welcome to Florida! My wife's sister lives in Winter Park, but it has been a few years since her kids were in school, so the info I could get would not be current. Sounds like Confused has ya covered though.

Yep! That's me with the whole sheep on my bike. Got that idea from FishHeadSaid.
The IBA has a Lap of Florida ride. Around the perimeter of Florida, corners of the state; Amelia Island (northeast point), Perdido Key (northwest point), Marco Island (southwest point) and Key West (southernmost point) collecting sand from the Atlantic Ocean, North Gulf of Mexico, South Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Straits and return to start. It must be done in 44 hours or less. It is about 1840 miles. Or you can do the Lap of Florida Insanity Gold. Same route, but in 32 hours or less (not for me).
The windshield cleaning trick is an old one.
