Default Fla Crew Central Florida Ride

I'd be more then happy to lead a ride starting from the Lakeland area if ya'll are interested.

I'm thinking either 7/19-20 or 7/26-27.

Do we want to do a day long ride, or a really long ride with overnight campout?

Give me some ideas of where you haven't been and when would you like to go.

Taking any and all suggestions!

Yep, Soloman's Castle is a good ride to do, unfortunately they're closed July, August, and September.
&nbsp\\;
2003FLHPI, you got any ideas as to where you might be taking us. I may be up for either weekend.

nope no ideas yet, not a one (lol)...just throwing the idea out there

one thought i had was we could end up back at my place, Carillon Lakes, one of those gated communites, we have a big pool/hot tub (get a bunch of bikers and scare the crap out of the old people, should also be some MILF eyecandy too)...maybe we all pitch in and get some beers and a BBQ going

MAKE IT A GOOD DESTINATION WE CAN RIDE UP FROM SOUTH FLA TOO, WE PUT TOGETHER 20 SOMETHIGN BIKES WITHOUT EVEN TRYING LAST WEEK, MAYBE A DESTINATION IN BETWEEN, OR A CAMPGROUND HALFWAY OR SOMETHIGN.
&nbsp\\;
OR YOU GUYS RIDE DOWN AND MEET US AT THE TOP OF LAKE OKECHOBEE, WE'LL MEET AT THE BOTTOM, WE RIDE UP, MEET YOU AND WE ALL RIDE BACK DOWN, THEN WE SPLIT OFF AND YOU GO BACK AROUND.&nbsp\\; I DONO, JUST AN IDEA

I'm kinda leaning towards heading a little north, west, then back south (or reverse it)...preliminary maybe 19 towards Ocala forest, cut west somewhere (40 or 325?), coming back down 41...i need to look at my maps and find the backroads...but I'm open to anything
