Us 98?
I've seen enough replies to say I'm in, and definitely heading to Thunder Beach. We'll take the turnpike and I-75 to get up to Ocala, then take 27 for a while. I like water, so I'm thinking about taking US 98 along the coast all the way to PCB. That's gonna take a while. Has anybody ridden on 98, and is it worth the time?

Hey c6zo6 - I'm up for it...you lead the way again and I'll buy the first round. Great place and an enjoyable ride over. Do they still have the horseshoe pit out back!

not sure where you get on 98 at you can get off just as you go over causeway from mobile at daphne exit and follow the signs and stay on 98 through fairhope and over to foley and staright out on back side of pensacola or take the hywy 59 exit at loxley follow it to foley and pick up 98 there turn left and take you same place
beats the interstates... you will go through several small towns and country roads

Ok here's the skinny. I have been for the last 7 or 8 spring rallys. Went once through Key West (I live in West TN). I have never enjoyed it but I am going back to try it once again just to see if I can have some fun. I do go to Newby's just about every night I'm there, it is no fun either, I always wind up getting to bed way to early in the morning and smell like beer. If you are looking at taking 98 all the way through the panhandle you will not regret it, that is the way we rode on the way from the Keys, we usually go down through Mobile and hit 98 as quick as we can cause it is beautiful riding that road. You can be your own judge about the rally, but I never have any fun. LOL
