Once south of I-4, the roads get very boring...as in straight and flat, lane changes are needed to simulate curves.
Thanks Coach, I will probably get with you about that. I was born and raised in Florida, left there 7 years ago so I might be a little rusty

Did some rough figuring from OK to PCB Fla. is 833 mile or 3 days of 279 per day Panama City Beach is where we plan on meeting your group then it would be 325 from PCB to St Augustine Just thought I would throw these numbers out there to help

Well everything has settled down for me for a while, now on to getting this thing planned out, in the next couple of weeks I will be setting the overnight stops, will have hotel names and any discounts that I can get us. I will need this trip just to rest and celebrate my retirement from trucking. I think we will all have a blast, and I hope we have 100 plus bikes, just imagine the site!!!!!

Lodging on the Keys can be challenging to aquire and expensive. With a group needing a dozen or more rooms it may be that some work needs to be done in that area? Perhaps not today but a ways before the trip actually happens.

Just thinking out loud.
