RIDERS CLUB

Early February offered up a couple of great weather days for riding. It sure beats the weather up north this time of the year. During the first week in February, six riders headed north through Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando Counties on a route that utilized back country roads once we got out of congested areas, winding our way to Brooksville. Our route took us north along Veterans Highway, then east to Zephyrhills and north to Dade City.

Then west to Brooksville thru farm country with plenty of new leaves just starting to bud. After lunch at Florida Country Kitchen, we headed south into Pinellas County, again taking several local roads and finding a few roads that we hadn’t traveled before. Once we got to Clearwater, we picked up US 19 south back to St. Petersburg. The following week 5 riders met at the rest area on I-275 south. We then headed south to Manatee County, east into Hardee County toward Bowling Green, then south toward Wauchula, before heading to Zolfo Springs for lunch at El Mezquite restaurant, where we enjoyed great Mexican food.
