Bike Week / Daytona Beach


Kent & I rode our motorcycles over to Daytona for Bike Week 2008. The trip over was a comedy of errors. The plan was to ride North from Tampa, hit some twisty roads, and take the scenic route. As we approached Ocala, the skies opened up and we got SOAKED! We camped out at a Sonny's BBQ until the rain stopped, and then opted to take the quickest route to the hotel. Soon after we got back on the road, we hit a huge traffic jam --it was stop & go for almost an hour. Next, Kent & I got separated at a toll-booth and it took a while for us to coordinate via cell phone and get back together. Finally, we made it to the hotel --8 hours after we left Tampa! It was rainy & windy most of the weekend. We made the best of it and generally had a fun time taking it all in.
