This isn't that Californy Vegan organic free range soy Pine to Palms ride 
From the MNLDRider forum;
As you may have seen in another thread, we're in the planning stages of "Pines to Palms II", a group event first held in 2006. We'll be riding from the northernmost point in the continental US (Northwest Angle, MN) to the southernmost point (Key West, FL). Want to come along? Details still being worked out, and this is not an official announcement yet, just a poll to gauge interest. Here's the basic poop:
Dates:
Arrive in the Angle on Thursday, May 6, for lodging and a meal. Depart the Angle at the start of the ride on Friday AM, May 7. Arrive in Key West at the end of the ride on Sunday, May 9. Arrival on Sunday AM means the lighest traffic on US-1, the critical last miles to the end-point. After arrival, you are on vacation in sunny Florida! Hang out for a while, or head for home whenever you like.
IBA Ride details:
Distance from top to bottom is approximately 2350 miles. A 50-hour or less arrival in Key West earns a Top Down Gold ride certificate (this would mean riding at more than Saddlesore pace for two straight days). An arrival after 50 hours but before 75 hours earns a Top Down ride certificate. The Minnesota LD Riders staff is authorized to facilitate IBA certification of this ride for everyone who finishes in the allotted time. You do the riding, we'll submit the documentation.
Follow along at the MNLDRider forum https://www.mnldriders.com under "Rides" you'll need to register to view but that's just to keep the spammers at bay.
A ride report from the 2006 version is here.
