The Port Mayaca Short Run
Our first local ride for the group was this past Sunday and it couldn’t have provided a better day. The short ride was just under 100 miles under a cloudless sky with moderate temperatures in the 70’s. It was great and the group of people we had were great, too. We met at Starbuck’s and at the Citgo station on Southern Blvd. where some had to fuel up. Riding out SR80 all the way to the lake we found our timing was perfect as there was very little traffic. This held true for the entire trip. We rode north through Pahokee and Canal Point to the levee at Port Mayaca where we just watched gators and talked for about an hour. We rode out SR78 to SR710 (Bee Line Hwy) to get back home before the holiday shopping traffic got out of control.
This was a great, short introductory ride. Next week’s ride starts a little earlier with breakfast at John G’s in Lake Worth and going north along the beaches. It should be a great ride, too. Come join us! Any sensible biker that likes the road and riding is more than welcome to join our rides. We aren’t bike-specific and welcome all motorcycles.
