Ride safe Tony!

Dan is doing great. He just changed the Florida turnpike stop to the Fort Drum service plaza in Okeechobee, FL. This is about 44 miles north of the Port St. Lucie service plaza. Dan's arrival should be around 2:00 to 2:30 AM.

I spoke with Dan this morning and he sounds good and a little ahead of the schedule. Tony, if you want we plan on meeting Dan at the Port St. Lucie turnpike service plaza ( 9 miles south of FT Pierce ) and ride to Key West with him. Current schedule has him there around 11:30 PM tonight.

Tony, We want to meet you at the Shell on highway 706 ( I-95 exit 87 A ) at 7:30 AM Friday ( December 29 ) morning. Then we will ride up to Wildwood and meet Joe there at the Speedway at Wildwood, I-75 exit 329 at 10:00 AM. This will give us plenty of time to get to Streets in Bay Minette for...

Tony, Do you and your son have your plans set yet? Joe, Dan and I are planning to leave Friday morning but could change to Thursday depending on what you are doing. We want to be there in time Friday to have the pre RTE dinner at Streets with some from the MTF forum.

Tony, Right now I am planning on riding up Friday and staying at a hotel in Daphne as the Wildwood was booked up. I am hoping Joe Green and Dan Thaler also ride up with me. We will meet Joe at the Wildwood exit on I-75 just north of the Turnpike.

Tony, It's still and I am planning on riding up Friday at this point. Maybe we can ride together. I also invited Joe Green and Dan Thaler.

I can confirm some of Dan's comments about our ride but the one about the lovey young ladies I will claim the fifth. I had 5 credit cards turned off by Pilot card processing. 3 of them contacted me by text or email asking if the charges are mine and I did confirm by text or email but the cards...

Tony, this ride may be harder than the Florida Keys 1000 but it is easier in some aspects as you have some places to detour around if needed, in the Keys you can't do that. If you keep pushing for all 9 laps around the lake it is easier than the Florida Keys 1000 but if you back off and...

Lake Okeechobee 1000 – Done! Dan Thaler and myself completed the Lake Okeechobee 1000 this morning just before sunrise. We rode 9 laps around the lake and averaged a 2 hour lap time ( 116 miles per lap ). The 9 laps around Lake Okeechobee totaled 1044 miles of which 270 miles was 4 lane ( US 27...

Thanks, I been through there a lot and yes they are always there.

Yes, on the RT that already has 50,000 miles, it's not new anymore.

We are going to get receipts at both ends of the lake and with our Spotwalla tracking it will be easy to prove we were at each end of the lake 9 times over a 24 hour period.

I am going to attempt to ride a SS1000 around Lake Okeechobee in Florida starting this Saturday. The route around the lake is 116 miles so it will take 9 laps to complete. We are starting at a Pilot truck stop in South Bay, FL and will be getting a receipt on every lap and using SPOT tracking...

I posted a ride report ( long, best read from a laptop, home computer ) on my website about our BBG 3000 ride to Mexico and back. I made a lot of updates. Dan and I had a hell of a ride. Here is the link. https://www.gregrice.com/rides/BBG3000ToMexicoReport.html

Here is a link to our BBG 3000 to Mexico and back ride report. It is a little long winded. https://www.gregrice.com/rides/BBG3000ToMexicoReport.html

Our BBG 3000 was a success, BBG's 42 & 43 are in the book. It was a true endurance ride due to the slowdowns we encountered on the first BBG, rain, accidents and construction. It was really the 400+ miles of rain that slowed us down. I checked our tracking and saw we had long stretches of sub...

Well looks like this ride is going to happen as I just dropped my wife off at the airport for her flight to Washington DC for her conference so I have 3 days to play. We will be staring tomorrow ( Friday ) at 10:00 AM in Fort Lauderdale. We choose this starting time as it will have us arring at...

Some have emailed me asking about our planned gas stops so I updated the webpage with those. These are only PLANNED gas stops, things can and do change. On the first BBG we will be pushing to ride to our plan as we need to get some rest in between the first and second BBG...

Daniel, thanks for all of the information. We planned our start time so we would be crossing the bridge around 5:00 AM so we can beat the heat and traffic. I want to ride farther into Mexico some day and will keep your comments in mind. Thanks!
