RIDERS CLUB

In March, 4 riders embarked on our 1st road trip of 2023 to Daytona for Bike Week. Our journey took us north on I-256 to Veterans Highway north to Crystal River. Then east on US44 to CR486 east to CR 491 north to SR 200 into Ocala. After a lunch break at the Horse and Hound restaurant, we headed east on SR 40 to US 1 in Ormond Beach, just north of Daytona Beach.

Destination Daytona is located here at the Harley Davidson dealership, and this is one of the main venues for all the vendors to set up there displays, with every kind of clothing, motorcycle accessories and hundreds of new and used motorcycles along with dozens and dozens of custom motorcycles for sale.

During our 3 day stay, we also visited several of the other locations around the Daytona Beach area, and test drove some motorcycles at the test site set up at the Daytona Speedway. Another big attraction was the entertainment, with bands playing throughout the day and night at several of the bars along US 1, on Main Street in Daytona Beach, and at Destination Daytona.

We took a different route on the way home, taking US 92 west to SR 44 west to SR 19 south to SR 33 south to CR 582 west to I-275.

The Riders Club usually meets for a ride every Thursday with a stop somewhere for lunch. We generally leave about 9:00 am and get back to St. Petersburg around 3:00 pm. Anyone who is interested can contact Bob Frazee for additional information.
